hmmm, interesting. 1994, 2000, 2006, 2012 - Italia in the Final

watching fox sports in Australia just then showing a betting preview for NBA Finals Miami heat vs Oklahoma thunder and they said the heat last won it in 2006, their one and only championship, which they did. Theyre probably going to win it again as theyre up 3-1 and next game is in Miami, still got two games after that anyway to close it out should they fail. Anyway, thought great year 2006 we won it. Could it be Miami Heat 2006 and 2012 and Italy the same? Then I remembered the 12 year pattern, 70, 82, 94, 2006 where we made the world cup finals. Noticed another one. 1994 World cup final, 2000 Euro Final, 2006 World cup final, 2012 Euro Cup final? A 6 year pattern, could very well continue
1994 World cup final loss on penalties
2000 Euro loss in extra time
2006 world cup final win on penalties
2012 Euro win in extra time?

loss-loss-win-win? history says we'll make the final and win it in extra timeone can only hope anyway. Ahhhh I think too much

west coast eagles a perth based Australian rules football side also won the premiership that year and are a great chance to do it this year! who knows, history certainly repeats!

Has no bearing on the result either way. People pointed out the 12 year cycle before the 2006 world cup final anyway, and we won. We might not even get to the final, that is a big possibility. But the pattern is there, history repeats and there's no reason why I shouldnt post it.

Don't be superstitious, it's a load of crap!

1994 world cup final lose on pk's
2000 euro final lose extra time to then world champions france
2006 world cup final win penalties france
2012 win in extra time to world champions spain??????


hmmmm or loss france pk's loss extra time loss spain pk's loss spain e.t? nahhh, the original!

can be 100 factors. im pointing out a trend that certainly has continued.

1994 loss on pk's brazil world cup final
2000 - lost to WORLD CHAMPS at Euro in final extra time
2006 win on penalties vs France world cup final
2012 win vs World champs Spain extra time on penalties



loss to team who became world champs in final
lost to world champs that became europeans champions
beat team to become world champion
beat world champion become euro champion

also 1998 lose qtr final shootout to france who become world champions, then euro
2008, lose qtr final to spain who become euro champions, then world cup

im not saying were going to win because of this for crying out loud. That you would say that is even dumber than the idea itself. All I'm saying is, history does repeat, and it's damn old weird that this pattern has arose.

to make you feel better look at this also freaky one

Fabio Grosso 2006 said: ↑

not saying they will just pointing out that pattern. strange one.

could also do

germany 1996 euro
france 1998 wins qtr final on pk's vs Italy, become world champs
france 2000 wins final in extra time, become euro champs
spain 2008 wins qtr final pks vs italy, become euro champs
spain 2o10 wins final in extra time, become world champs
germany 2012 euro????
kinda goes in reverse. straaaangeeeeeee!
germany becoming euro champ before a world and euro in france, then after a euro then world champion in spain, win the euro cup again

Germany or Italy winners!

germany won euro 96
france won 98 final in normal time, beat italy penalties in qtrs
France won 2000 final extra time
spain won 2008 final normal time, beat italy penalties in qtrs
spain won 2010 final extra time
germany wins euro 2012?

weird coincidences.

Oh brother...

you follow the eagles carn the tigers. ay what state you from mate?

Originally from W.A but now living in S.A. Tigers should make the 8, but a couple of glitches in the last two games. Stirring wins vs Sydney, Hawthorn and the saints and almost beat my west coast.

What is this, the astrology thread?

why did you move from such a beautiful state to that crappy state lol. yeaaa i know but hey we got the four points, i've only seen richmond play finals twice so for them to make finals i will go ********ing balistic!

i like it it's not a boring thread.

hahahah. did you see them in 95 and 2001?

well in 95 i was 1 hahaha but 01 is my finals memory...

I like richmond and hope they make the 8. I take it youre a napoli fan? Maggio shoulda iced that game against chelsea. But im glad he didnt, cos napoli woulda went through as the 4-1 mentally woulda been to hard to overcome as opposed to 3-1 and napoli woulda went down to barca, chelsea wouldnt have won.


Forza Di Matteo!

haha your a cheksea fan?

Go Tigers!!

Not sure if we'll make the 8 this year but this is the most confident I have been about the future of the RFC for more than 20 years. We have a great group of talented young midfielders who are just going to improve with age and experience.

omgggggg a richmond supporter on here and not just me? you victorian brother?
