A quick IQ test. What is the next symbol in the following sequence?
LOSE, DNQ, DNQ, WIN, DNQ, DNQ, LOSE, DNQ, DNQ
It should be pretty obvious to anyone that the next symbol is WIN, if logic applies. Unfortunately, logic does not apply to football. So, even if the above sequence faithfully describes Italy’s score in the World Cup finals since 1970, there is no guarantee that the next one, tonight against France, is going to be a WIN.
I am a bit saddened, by the way, from being able to remember each one of the finals Italy played, starting from the 1970 one. I remember it only barely, as I was very young at the time, but still I remember the circumstances around it. This means I’m really getting old.
