Looks like you were wrong.

I think you're stretching it a tad.

You get a LONG BOW AWARD!!!!

aha… but if you take all the countries, and replace them with completely different countries… USA WINS THE WORLD CUP

Nah, it is Spain's year! Mark my words.

It's July 4th and you didn't even put USA on this chart?! What gives?!

Deutschland über alles.

Also 1990 - 1954 + 1974 equals 2010 … sooo, arithmetic is on Germany's side too ;-)

So this is what the full double rainbow means.

Highly coincidental, but it works for me!  GO GERMANY!!!

You also need to ignore the four World Cups prior to 1954.

As long as you ignore the four dates that don't fit the pattern, then yes, it's entirely predictable.
