    Maybe there was some non-euclidian geometry involved in the goals that weren't goals and the offsides that haven't been offsides?

    It's the African equivalent of stuff like not shaving or washing the uniform until you win, or having a lucky jockstrap, or not stepping on the chalk while entering the field. We do it too. They just do it with more flair than we do.

    Hell, I blame a century-long World Series drought on a goat. You guys are all relying on a psychic octopus to tell the future.

    You want flare?

    All Blacks doing the haka? Scary as fuck.

    All Whites doing the haka? Not so much.

    the psychic octopus actually has reversed truthiness value when spain is involved
    2008, it predicted germany winning against spain and it lost

    Irmatov today. Hopefully he'll get the final; he's been one of the few non-crazy refs this Cup.

    One of my friends said "I want both teams to lose. Is that possible?"

    I think I might agree with his sentiment, but I just want Uruguay to lose more.
