So, basically: If Spain wins on Sunday, then Obama wins re-election ?

(What about 2010 then ? Spain won and the Democrats lost, or 2008 when Spain also won and Obama won ?).

No, if Italy wins on Sunday, Obama wins re-election.

I've got a good reason to support Italy anyway, but FORZA AZZURI!!!

An Italian teaching football is like an Uruguayan teaching fair play.

It's part of the game. Ghana had a penalty kick and Suárez saw the red card.

In 1978 Kempes did exactly the same (Argentina vs. Poland) and he received just a yellow card.

What? No. Read the curse. Good sports results for me -> bad political results. Good political results for me -> bad sports results.

If that means Romney loses (since Italy's performance is already excellent whatever happens sunday) I'll gladly take it.

Hopefully the curse extends to April 2013 as well. Wink

No, Phil, even if Italy had lost all its pool matches, even if it had failed to even qualify... Casey isn't going to lose. Tongue
