"According to a report on the '20minutos' website, French medic and prophet Michel de Notredame (1503-1566), better known as Nostradamus, predicted that Spain will win the Germany 2006 World Cup finals.
The prophecy predicts that: "At the end of the sixth month of 2006, the King of Spain will cross the Pyrenees with his army. The legions of Beelzebub await the battle on the central European planes. Destruction and defeat will fall on the evil-doers. The Holy Grail will be returned to Spain by the triumphant King.""
Good news, lads - at least England will get all the way to the Final!
Link: 'forces of Beelzebub'? Who could he mean?
Sounds a bit iffy to me - There a bogus Nostradamus preciction put out after the Twin Tower collapse about 'falling brother' and other easily interpretated flowery language which turned out to be total pish.
As your reporter is named 'thinkspain' I fear your plonker is being pulled. Would you like to purchase some magic beans! ;0)

Also, wouldn't Nostradamus support France?
Gosh. And there was me taking it seriously.
Just you wait till the USA win their awesome 5-0 victoy over Ghana and go through to the next round...
But we do run the danger of having the US classing any tackling of their players as a terrorist attack.
Hey, let's not be mean to the US, they do their best for a quasi-amateur team.
Wait for the US to play Iran. The first time a World Cup match has been won by a tactical airstrike - Iran wins due to the US team being wiped out by friendly fire.

Just snorted tea all over my keyboard.
Funniest comment in a long time.
Surely that should read "the UK team being wiped out by friendly fire from the US team"?
its amazing, for a nation that couldn't give a rats arse bout Soccer we have so much shit on TV about it at the moment because we actually got in. Normally its given a wide berth by one and all over here now we all claim to be experts. I'm sure once we're out of it all will return to normal and we'll forget about the Socceroo's again.
