Beveridge Predicted Spain’s World Cup Victory with a Beverage Accessory!

Last night, I realized that I have powers of prediction.  As I put my water glass down on my bedside table, I saw this…

The oracle's coaster

Back on July 2nd, stacks of coasters were on the table of a “sexy soccer bar” in Brooklyn.  I sifted through them to pick out a couple.  I took the South Africa one (in honor of their hosting the World Cup) and the Spain one and stashed them in my pocket.  I’m not sure what inspired me to take the Spain one–maybe because I studied Español in high school, maybe because I appreciate a nation that appreciates naps, but it wasn’t coaster aesthetics–red and yellow are decidedly not my favorite colors.  Yet, I felt moved to choose it, and thus Spain would win.

Paul the Octopus has nothing on me.
