| Belgian PM offers Obama beer bet over World Cup clash | | | BRUSSELS, June 27: Belgian Prime Minister Elio Di Rupo challenged US President Barack Obama to a bet over Belgium's impending World Cup knock-out match against the United States, offering the prospect of some "great Belgian beers" should the US team win.
On Thursday, Belgium beat South Korea 1-0 to top Group H, setting up a clash with the United States after Juergen Klinsmann's team pipped Portugal to second place in Group G on goal difference despite losing to Germany.
"Hey @BarackObama, I am betting some great Belgian beers that our @BelRedDevils will make it to the quarter final!" Di Rupo tweeted in the early hours of Friday. As of Friday morning, the US President had not replied to the challenge. It was not clear precisely what beers Di Rupo was offering in the bet. |
