    Just found this, tis good :D

    England and Brazil.

    The last time Brazil Won the world Cup was 1994, before that it was 1970
    1994 + 1970 = 3964

    The last time Argentina won the World Cup was 1986, before that it was 1978
    1986 + 1978 = 3964

    The last time Germany won the World Cup was 1990, before that it was 1974
    1990 + 1974 = 3964

    Therefore to reveal who the winners of the 2002 is simple, Subtract 2002
    from 3964....
    2002 - 3964 = 1962

    In 1962 the World Cup was held in Chile the competition was won by Brazil

    That's just a reworking of the stupid 'predicition pyramid' that was doing the rounds in 1998

    1966 England

    Germany
    1978
    Argentina
