Thằng Harry Kane trời đánh

-----

A businessman (doanh nhân) has been left with 18,000 useless (vô dụng) T-shirts which wrongly herald (dự đoán sai) England as World Cup champions (vô địch).

Football fan Karl Baxter was so convinced (tin chắc) the Three Lions (Tam Sư) were going to return home from Qatar as winners that he had the tops printed ahead of the quarter-finals.

Sprawled across the back of the shirts are the slogans (khẩu hiệu) 'England, Cup Winners 2022, It's Finally Home' and 'The Day It Came Home'.

But the gamble (đánh bạc, đánh cược) didn't pay off (thành công), with Gareth Southgate's side losing 2-1 to France in their quarter-final match (trận tứ kết) on Saturday after Harry Kane missed the chance (bỏ lỡ cơ hội) to score (ghi bàn) an equalising (cân bằng tỷ số) penalty.

"We had a load of blank (trắng) football shirts that we bought a couple of years ago, which we had not done a great deal with, so I decided to take a gamble on the crest (đỉnh nóc, chỏm, ngọn) of the wave England were riding and get some shirts printed in anticipation (dự đoán) of success,"
