You do remember correctly, this was the only time I ever gambled on sports. I live in Scotland and had two English colleagues pontificating about how it was good that they were going to play Iceland in the next round and that it should be an easy game, I piped up and told them I wouldn't be so sure as Iceland were on blazing form. After a full day of ridicule I went home, opened a betting account and stuck a tenner on Iceland at 10-1. I have never let them forget it.

In the United States, an American football player named Tyreek Hill voluntarily left the Kansas City Chiefs for the Miami Dolphins for more money this season. The Chiefs went on to win the Superbowl this year.
