The game that never took place

Contrived it may sound, but watching the game ‘live’ was evidence for all to see.
Luzhniki Stadium, Moscow, 21 May 2008
Manchester United 1-1 Chelsea (Manchester United WIN 6-5 ON PENALTIES
A Murdock/Sky spectacular event, and hes no ‘crazy fool’.
The maintainer of SkyBet and live in-game betting, were strangely the majority of bets offered, being of a fixed outcome to the limit of full-time (in this case 90mins).
When the game went into half-time at Manchester United & Chelsea on one a piece, we started to realise something was up. A fair game you might say, though the informed would see the use of magnetic goal posts, and a metallic inner ball, some fear the use of helium gas injection.
The obvious playground antics in the second half, cued nicely to be mapped & graphed into ‘FIFA 2009′ console game. Play acted until both teams fully exhausted the full 90 minutes.
No great surprise there…
