Prophetic choice ... Fernando Torres of Spain.

Nostradamus has tipped Spain to win the World Cup.

Spanish daily 20 Minutos believes a prophecy from the medieval Frenchman will come true if Luis Aragones leads Spain to World Cup glory.

The prophecy reads: "In the sixth month of 2006 the King of Spain will cross the Pyrenees with his troops.

"The legions of Beelzebub will battle him in central Europe but the evil ones will suffer doom and destruction.

"The Holy Grail will then come, like the King, to Spain."

We should feel honored. Of all the important world events that have happened since his time, Nostradamus has chosen to write about this year's World Cup. Place your bets everyone, this one's a sure thing! ;)

Obviously, Ashley Giles (http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/funny_old_game/3532656.stm) is going to be recalled to the England squad for the ODI at Old Trafford, and will retain his place through the winter tour. The "holy grail" is obviously a reference to The Ashes, and "central Europe" is Australia (well, it sounds a bit like "Austria"). As for "the legions of Beelzebub", that's pretty obvious...

Though I once was a big Doubting Thomas
I believe now in old Nostradamus.
He predicted the Spanish
Would triumph, not vanish,
And foretold that Bin Laden would bomb us.

He predicted the fall of great nations,
Spoke of Europeans and of Asians.
Yes, the truth is concealed,
But his quatrains still yield
To "creative" re-interpretations.
