Spain Using Voodoo at Euro 2008
Are you amazed that Spain seem to have broken their curse? The team hadn’t been to the semi-finals of any major tournament since 1984 (where they made the Euro ‘84 final, but lost to France) and hadn’t beaten Italy in 88 years until the quarterfinal spot-kick victory on Sunday.
It can’t all be down to David Villa, so what else is going on?
Well apparently it’s all down to voodoo. Someone in Spain has been making and selling football player voodoo dolls, which come with a pack of flags. La Furia Roja fans can simply fix the flag of whoever Spain are playing onto the doll, and write a name and number on the back, then perform some amateur voodoo on whichever player they want.
What do you mean voodoo doesn’t really exist? Did you not see Luca Toni’s performance against Spain? Did he not look like a voodoo victim? Would certainly explain the way he kept collapsing in pain.
So if you see a certain Russian playmaker inexplicably holding his sides in agony or his legs doing things he clearly doesn’t intend tomorrow, you’ll know it’s due to an army of Spain fans poking a “10 Arshavin” doll with sharp sticks.
And who can blame them, here’s what AA did to Netherlands in the quarterfinals:

Both teams playing tomorrow should be very encouraged by the match today. The Germany we have seen in this tournament is a very unconvincing side who have trouble defending, maintaining possession, and creating chances. In my eyes they should be underdogs to beat either Russia or Spain.
That said, go Russia!

Who’s been selling Luca Toni dolls, that’s what I’d like to know…
