So England's Howard Webb will be the ref for the final. He has refereed three World Cup matches and has neither shown a red card nor awarded a penalty kick. Sounds like a reasonable choice to me for this crucial task, hopefully he will be practically invisible.

Ashraf, the bizarre ball certainly does make for some interesting curve shots which can fool the goalies! The main thing I have noticed is that the ball often seems to gain more altitude than the kicker anticipates, and perhaps some shots have gone over the goal, kicks that with a normal ball would've made it under the crossbar. Though I am sure that players have tried to adjust their kicks, it takes time. Ditto on the refs, the Spain Germany game was pretty good overall, may it continue!

Hey Mont, HSBC said they were willing to hire him since he was right more than 70% of the time and given that a few economist do better.

Qiman,. Indeed. Thats means plenty of long range shots in the final, which will not hurt. I dont care the ball being at fault as long as no refs are the culprits.

I think I'll try him out for trading decisions, before they fry him.
He couldn't do worse than I am doing.

Once again, the famous oracle "Paul" (the octopus) was right. He correctly predicted Spain victory 2 days ago. Since 2008 he only failed to predict accurately 2 times, which put his accuracy ratio to 80% !!

Unfortunately for him, Paul is currently living in a German restaurant and could end up fried in a plate
