I doubt sofengshui predicts World Cup winner
Today issue of "The New Paper" carries an article on its 2nd and 3rd page titled: Peeking the Winner. They pose the question of who will win the World Cup to 8 renown fengshui practitioners which all, except 1, predicts France will be the winner.
The only geomancer who differ from the crowd is Master Phang Song Hua who picked Italy base on the time the New Paper contacted him, 7.30pm. Go figure.
Incidentally, statistics seems to favor Italy as far as fengshui is concern. And if all this doesn't convince you, consider that Mexican coach Ricardo La Volpe is a big believer in fengshui, and he's sitting at home watching the Cup, just like you.

"Using the strokes of the Chinese characters for France and Italy, it is the French team that has an advantage, said Master Tong Noong Chin."
I don't get it. Why chinese characters? Does chinese characters have some magical power in its forms that can be use to predicts the future? Maybe all the ancient text is in chinese and didn't mention how to do it in another language and so people have to use modern methods of translation to make it work. And counting the strokes sounds a little like numerology, which you can do in French and Italian anyway.
Master Tong uses the time of the match - 2am on 10 July and conclude that "The combination of the 2 favors France." That's lucky, because if we are in say, Japan, or watching the match in China, the match will NOT be at 2am on 10 July and master Tong will have to make a NEW prediction on the SAME match."The grass is green, which possesses the element of wood. Metal can 'overcome' wood and so, the team wearing the white jersey will end up with the advantage.- Master Ang Kian Cheong"
But the grass is always green, so I say our National team try to wear white as much as possible. I found a site that also predicts the outcome base on jersey colour here, with exactly the opposite result.
