Mexican Grand Warlock Predicts German World Cup Victory

We learned two things today. First, there is someone in Mexico who calls himself a “Grand Warlock.” Second, this person is neither a 15-year-old video gamer nor is he necessarily a prophet you want on your side.

Antonio Vazquez, the Grand Warlock, has apparently been making predictions about world events, including sporting events, for the past 25 years based on his reading of tarot cards and the stars. The amazing thing is that despite his spotty track record that includes a false prediction that a European side would win the 2002 World Cup people still pay attention to him.

This time around he is convinced that Germany is going to win it all and that Ronaldinho won’t make it to the finals because of an unspecified injury. Both are predictions that could come true, but here at World Cup Blog we believe in accountability so we are going to be the first ones to remind Mr. Vazquez if his visions don’t come true.

After all, we want to be the first in line when and if there is a job opening for that Grand Warlock position.
