Purported quote from 16th-century astrologer Nostradamus:
At the end of the sixth month of 2006,
The King of Spain will cross the Pyrenees with his army.
The legions of Beelzebub await the battle on the central European plains.
Destruction and defeat will fall on the evil-doers.
The Holy Grail will be returned to Spain.
Folks are interpreting this as a prophecy that Spain will win the World Cup.
