A bola

"- Hey! Did you see the game? What was the score?
(quatro ingleses sentados a comer big Mac's, três deles com camisolas do Manchester)
- Man United won! One nill, mate!
- Oh... Ok, thanks. I'm a Benfica supporter.
- You are? Well, sorry mate...
- It's ok, we beat you guys last time.
- No you didn't. We won the home game!
- I know, and we won our home game.
- Yeah, only Liverpool couldn't win you guys. Right Paul?
(O Paul era o único que não tinha a camisola do Manchester)
- Come on Paul! What was the score with Benfica?
(começam os três a rir-se.)
- Benfica's my second team, man! Second next to Man U! Benfica, Benfica, Benficaaaaa!
(o Paul levanta-se e vem-me cumprimentar)
- Cheers mate. You deserved it last year. Congratulations.
