And what do astrologers and fortune tellers say? Florian Freistetter of Astrodicticum Simplex (German) took a look around – and of course most of them make only very vague statements and platitudes like
“Silly errors, inattentiveness, misunderstandings among players or wrong decisions by the referees can be pivotal for some match results.”
(Astrologie Heute, my translation), and the few fantasts daring concrete statements surely have excuses such as
“The penalty was a good scoring chance for the Swedes which, however, missed the goal. I astrologically rated this scoring chance as a goal.”
(astrologie.de for the World Cup 2006, my translation). And I’ll realistically rate this statement as rubbish…
