Jonathan Fairfield Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Brazilian voodoo priest to curse Germany Germany will have to contend with black magic as well Brazil's Selecao in Tuesday's World Cup semi-final as a voodoo priest plans to curse die Mannschaft. Brazil will be without injured superstar Neymar in Belo Horizonte, but black magic enthusiast Helio Sillman from Rio de Janeiro says his curse will hinder Joachim Loew's team in the semi-final. "I'll take their top player and bind his legs so he can't run on the pitch," said Sillman, referring to the voodoo doll of an undisclosed German player that will be cursed in a ceremony before the game. In his shop "World of Orixas" in the northern neighborhood of Madureira, Sillman carries out a ritual before each Selecao game. Using a a small football pitch-shaped box as his alter, he puts inside lit candles in the colours of the opposing team and the voodoo doll of their most important player. Sillman's curse on James Rodriguez did not stop the Colombian star from scoring in his team's 2-1 defeat to Brazil in Friday's quarter-finals. And he was powerless to prevent Selecao star Neymar from suffering a fractured vertebrae against the Colombians that has ruled him out of the World Cup. But Sillman points to Brazil's results against Cameroon, Chile, Croatia and Mexico as testimony to the influence of his magic. Voodoo dolls representing a player from each of the Selecao's opponents sit in a bowl. "Those are the four teams that Brazil have overcome," he said. Germany's Thomas Mueller, Manuel Neuer and Mats Hummels have been warned. -- (c) Copyright AFP 2014-07-07 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbamboo Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 And there in a nutshell is why Germany will win. Whilst the Brazilians will try to be magical the Germans will be ruthlessly pragmatic. Somewhere along the line they will win a penalty shoot out. This could be it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the German team makes it to the penalty shoot out, I will go to bed, no excitement left, outcome as usual (since 1976). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I particularly referred to the penalty shoot out. "If" (big if) "the German team makes it to the penalty shoot out...". Then I arrogantly dare to predict a regular outcome: Germany will win. The last penalty shoot out that Germany lost was against Czechoslovakia in the finale of the European Championship 1976. But in 2002 Germany lost against Brazil ordinarily (if I may describe it like that). No extra time, no penalty shoot out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our species has developed technologically, but mentally, we're still at the level of prancing around bonfires dressed only in penis gourds - or sticking pins in sock dolls.
