WAGER 

‘I’m probably going to be banned for it’ – Former Arsenal star Wojciech Szczesny confirms €100 penalty bet with Lionel Messi in Argentina’s win over Poland at Qatar World Cup


Wojciech Szczesny has revealed that he made a €100 bet with Lionel Messi during Poland’s clash with Argentina – and lost.

The Juventus goalkeeper endured a dramatic night at the World Cup as his nation edged through to the last-16 of the competition on goal difference after a 2-0 loss to the South Americans.

A huge moment in the match came when Szczesny caught Messi in the box when coming to claim a cross.


The referee was told by the video assistant referee to take a closer look at the incident.

Clearly confident that the spot-kick wouldn’t be awarded, the former Arsenal shot-stopper revealed post-match how he made a small wager with the Argentine superstar.


Speaking to Norwegian broadcaster TV 2 Sport, he said: “No I didn’t [think the penalty would be given].


“We spoke before the penalty and I told him I can bet him €100 that he wasn’t going to give it. 


“So I’ve lost a bet against Messi.

“I don’t know if that’s allowed at the World Cup. I’m probably going to be banned for it. I don’t care right now.

“I’m not going to pay him either. He doesn’t care about €100, come on.”


Of course the penalty was given, however Szczesny made up for the foul by saving Messi’s kick, keeping the score at 0-0.

However goals from Alexis Mac Allister and Julian Alvarez were enough to earn victory for Argentina as they progressed to the next round as Group C winners, with Poland squeezing through in second.


They will now face France in the Round of 16 – live on talkSPORT.

FIRST DATES  James Maddison jokes Ally McCoist would be RIGHT to let Jude Bellingham date his daughters and keep his granny away from Jack Grealish – but Bukayo Saka would be best son-in-law out of England stars England star James Maddison has responded to Ally McCoist’s hilarious claim that he would let Jude Bellingham date his daughter,s but not let Jack Grealish near his granny. Rangers legend McCoist, who has five son, told talkSPORT on Monday that if he had five daughters instead, they could all go out with Bellingham. The 19-year-old midfielder has  caught the eye  with his maturity on and off the pitch while starring for the Three Lions at the 2022 World Cup. Grealish, on the other hand, is a self-confessed cheeky chappy and  recently admitted  he has a habit of doing ‘stupid’ things. McCoist said: “I just think he’s [Bellingham] unbelievable. I’ve got five boys in the house but if I had five daughters I’d probably let him take them all out at the same ...

SUPPORT   Harry Kane gets brilliant reception from Tottenham fans at Boxing Day clash with Brentford after World Cup penalty miss Tottenham fans loudly showed their support for Harry Kane following his missed penalty for England in Qatar . The 29-year-old was thrown straight back into Antonio Conte’s starting XI for  Spurs’ Boxing Day clash away at Brentford . Kane has been subject to harsh criticism after he blazed over his spot-kick against France in the Three Lions’ World Cup quarter-final defeat. He had equalised against Les Bleus from the spot, but with his second attempt late into the match, he spurned a key chance to level the game up at 2-2. It led some fans to question why he was even on penalty duty, despite his stunning record from 12 yards out having missed three out of his 20 penalties for England prior to his France miss. But the Spurs supporters in attendance at the Gtech Community Stadium were fully behind their talismanic striker. They sang in unison, ‘Harry K...
