Silly WorldCup numbers

[karohemd]

When you multiply 54 by 74 and subtract 1990, you get 2006. This means that Germany will win again.

I am looking forward....

...to looking at empty streets during the games.

And anything that incites English-Germano feuding is good in my book.

Ireland isn't even in it.

Huh? Why's that?

... don't know, don't care. Happy they'll all be watching it while I enjoy the peace and quiet.


Anything that reminds Europeans of their national identities is something I'm very much in favor of; its the sort of good news that is all too rare.

Football doesn't remind me of my "national identity" in any way.

Then again, our respective opinion of what that constitutes are propably completely different, anyway.

I'm not sure that we really need reminding of our national identity right now. There's plenty of jingoism going around in the media here anyway. To be honest a bit less of it would be refreshing.

Why is Airsoft suddenly the Big Thing?

Um... but Engerlerrrnd won in '66, and 2006-1966 is 40, and ... O_o ... uh... oh yeah - Jesus spent 40 days and nights in the desert, so... um... so God is on England's side!

Or something. Who are you people, and where are my slippers?

Heck, any vaguely competent side can fluke a World Cup win on home territory.

Germany to win. Hope England get destroyed, since fed up of the biase of the media on the EBC.

Well its the Next one I am looking forward too.

Lets not forget in 4 years time Wales will be winning the World Cup. So that will mean that in 2010 Wales will have:

Bangor City holding the UEFA Champions League

Merthyr Tydfil Holding the English FA Cup

Wales holding the Rugby World cup

Newport holding the European Challenge cup

Cardiff holding the Heinekin cup

Celtic crusaders winning the super league

Along with all the Gold medals Wales will win at the Next Olympics.

Then we would just need Cornwall (Kernow) to have full Nation Status, instead of just ethical nation status (like Wales, Scotland Ireland - Though in practice for practical reasons Ireland has two nation status one for the counties of Ulster Making up Northern ireland, one for the Counties (including some Ulster Counties making up the republic) the de-facto annexation of Cornwall making it a part of England has never been codified. Then the true nations and teams would be able to compete in these competetions.

Where do the numbers 54 and 74 come from?

years in which Germany won the world cup:
1954, 1974 and 1990.
The '90 final happened on the Sunday of our hometown's annual traditional funfair/beer festival. There was hardly anyone there so no queues for beer or food. Most of the seats in the shade were still available. It was bliss. And after the game, when all the football watchers came back, the breweries had a record turnover. ;o)

Of course, now you will feel silly if Germany does win :-)
