Toni Kroos protagonized one of the most exciting moments of the World Cup Russia 2018 on Saturday. The German midfielder scored, at 95 minutes, the goal that allowed his team to beat Sweden 2-1 and get into the fight in Group F.
The truth is that not all football fans were excited about Toni Kroos' breathtaking goal against Sweden in Russia 2018. Especially Englishman Lee Robinson, who lost nearly $6,000 for just three centimeters in Germany's goal.
What happened? This passionate fan bet five euros on a combined play that included three situations: Lukaku had to score a double against Tunisia, Mexico had to beat South Korea 2-1, and Toni Kroos had to score a goal from outside the area against Sweden.
The first two were fulfilled. And although the free kick executed by Toni Kroos was indeed from outside the area, the German midfielder made a prepared play with Marco Reus, so the ball had already entered the area when he took the shot.
Due to just three centimeters, Lee Robinson couldn't collect his 6,000 euros. Although he preferred to take it sportingly and share his unfortunate bet on social media. The curiosities that the World Cup Russia 2018 leaves us.
