The Financial Times of London quoted a report from the Albania newspaper, Koha Jone (Our Time), that a man short of gambling cash lost his wife after staking her on the outcome of a World Cup game.
The gambler was so sure Argentina would beat Bulgaria in their first-round match that he bet his wife. Bulgaria won, 2-0. She disappeared with the winner, and the loser was left to complain to the police.
