    Something interesting about FIFA world cup Brazil won the world cup in 1994. Before that, they had won this title for the last time in 1970. If you add up: 1970 + 1994 = 3964 Argentina won the world cup for the last time in 1986. Before that only in 1978. And 1978 + 1986 = 3964 Germany , though, won the world cup in 1990. Before that, Germany won in 1974. Look: 1990 + 1974 = 3964 This could lead us to guess the winner of the World Cup in 2002, since it should be the winner of the 1962 World Cup (In fact 3964 - 2002 = 1962). And Brazil won the world cup in 1962! (And, in fact, Brazil won the 2002 WC) This numerology seems to work... And now, who would be the winner of the 2006 world cup? Let's see, 3964 - 2006 = 1958 And who won in 1958?.... Oh, Brazil did!!! :-D

                        Yes I did watch the game. But did you see the quality of Gerrad's goal. It was magnificent.:-> Now that's what I am talking about. Of course, I agree that the quality was poor, but give them a chance, eh.... :-D --- With best regards, A Manchester United Fan The Genius of a true fool is that he can mess up a foolproof plan!

                                      Something interesting about FIFA world cup Brazil won the world cup in 1994. Before that, they had won this title for the last time in 1970. If you add up: 1970 + 1994 = 3964 Argentina won the world cup for the last time in 1986. Before that only in 1978. And 1978 + 1986 = 3964 Germany , though, won the world cup in 1990. Before that, Germany won in 1974. Look: 1990 + 1974 = 3964 This could lead us to guess the winner of the World Cup in 2002, since it should be the winner of the 1962 World Cup (In fact 3964 - 2002 = 1962). And Brazil won the world cup in 1962! (And, in fact, Brazil won the 2002 WC) This numerology seems to work... And now, who would be the winner of the 2006 world cup? Let's see, 3964 - 2006 = 1958 And who won in 1958?.... Oh, Brazil did!!! :-D

                                      Well for Germany it is: 54 x 74 - 1990 = 2006 or (54 + 74 x 90) / the per mille value of maier-vorfelder (3.34695) = 2006 Well, anyway. We will win - or not! :doh: ------------------------------ PROST Roleplaying Game War doesn't determine who's right. War determines who's left.

                                        Surely that means England's best shot would have been 1998?

                                          I think I know where this came from : Mario Jorge Lobo Zagallo. He has been technicall adviser, coach and player for the Brazilian team since 1958, was 2 times coach for the selecao and 4 times world champion (either as player or coach). He is famous in Brazil for this kind of numerical superstitions. Luckilly no one takes him seriously on that stuff, here. At a close look, no one is normal.
