The runes have been cast

Posted by Llyn Green on 20/7/2025, 7:44 pm

Like me, you have probably been following the football on TV.

But it looks as if fate has taken a hand in the outcome of the match next Sunday.
In Valhalla, he old Norse Gods have cast the runes and chosen the winner, and it's not us.

How do I know this? Follow the clues.

Look at the initials of the four teams left in the tournament.

SPAIN, ITALY, ENGLAND and GERMANY.

"SIEG" which just happens to be the German word for "VICTORY".

You just couldn't make it up, could you?

Correct, Colin...

And what have Norse Gods got to do with Football?

Or did Odin play in goal, Thor was Left-back, Loki out on the right wing, causing mischief!!

Hi Llyn
We watched Germany v France and I thought France had the ball a lot more and passed better. When Germany had it, they lost it straight away.

Hi Norman

But Germany had a goalkeeper who played a blinder, she won them the match.
That save she made has to go onto the all time greats list.

Trust me to pick the wrong guys, the Norse Gods, to base my little spoof on.
How was I to know that Malcolm could even give us their team positions.
If only I'd picked the Genii in the Lamp, The Wombles or even The Fairies at the Bottom of the Garden, I may have got away with it.
