Y’know, I have a theory about why England didn’t win the ’86 World Cup: a Karma Deficit. Let me explain: in ’66, the Germans were beaten due to a goal that wasn’t. Karma points: England -1, Germany 1. In 1986, Argentina beat England with the ‘hand of god’- England 0, Argentina -1, Germany 1. Finally, in 1990 Germany beat Argentina through a dubious penalty- England, Germany and Argentina 0. Having said that, I’d have to deduct Argentina 1 for buying their way to the ’78 title, leaving Holland (unfairly losing finalist) with a karma point yet to be cashed in. What all this means? That Holland will win the World Cup this year, beating Argentina along the way by a non-goal, of course. You hear it here first.
