Again on the World Cup… semi-finals this time. What we saw today (yesterday in South Africa) between the Netherlands and Uruguay was a real thrilling game of soccer. I do salute the Uruguays for keeping the standard of ‘World Cup’ to such level. What many predicted as an easy win, was not!
So, today (South Africa’s time) we shall see two more giants in this world cup ~ Germany versus Spain. By now, I do not have favors for any particular team. They are all excellent! I’d rather just enjoy the matches instead of getting my blood pressure and anxiety level up!!
And we again get predictions… emails, notes and of course darling Paul. The octopus, alright?!… What did Paul say?

BERLIN -- Octopus oracle Paul is predicting Germany will be defeated by Spain at the World Cup semifinal.
Sea Life Aquarium's spokesman Daniel Fey said Tuesday that the famous mollusk from Oberhausen chose a mussel from a glass tank marked with a Spanish flag, while ignoring the tank marked with the German colors - indicating a Spanish victory in Wednesday's semifinal.
….. and in my mail today
believe it or not!
This world cup 2010 is already determined by the numbers....
1. Brazil won the World Cup in 1994; before that they also won in 1970. Adding 1970 + 1994= 3964
2. Argentina won its last World Cup in 1986; before that they also won in 1978. Adding 1978 + 1986= 3964
3. Germany won its last World Cup in 1990; before that they also won in 1974. Adding 1974 + 1990= 3964
4. Brazil also won the World Cup in 2002; before that they also won in 1962. Adding 1962 + 2002= 3964
5. Therefore if you want to know what nation is going to win the World Cup in 2010, you only have to subtract 2010 from the magic number that we have determined: 3964. Therefore, 3964 minus 2010 = 1954... In 1954 the World Cup was won by Germany!!!
So, to those die hard fans out there…..
C H I L L and enjoy the game.
