Brazil World Cup: Stephen Hawking calculates formula for England success. He said that the red colour of England’s shirt for their game in Sao Paulo on 19 June will improve their chances of winning by as much as 20% purely because of its perceived dominance. The phycisist also claimed that the 4-3-3 formation is similarly perceived as more positive and aggressive than 4-4-2, and this would have a similar psychological impact as the shirt colour. European referees should also help England along the way, as Hawking said: “The data shows we also need to hope for a European referee. European referees are more sympathetic to the English game and less sympathetic to ballerinas like [Luis]Suarez.” In a penalty shoot-out, the professor said that before striking the ball, the player should have a run up of at least three steps and give the ball a “welly”, but notes that power is nothing without precision, and the player should aim for the top corners for the best chance of beating the goalkeeper. Worryingly, however, for such a warm World Cup, Hawking found that England’s chances of winning declined by 59% for just a five degrees Celsius rise in temperature.
Barkley, Wilshere, Lalana, Sterling, Sturridge Now THATS a better formula - 5 brilliant young players minus baggage
Stephen Hawking is one of those guys that I'd absolutely love to meet. He's incredibly clever, but he's also a nice person and has a great sense of humour, as his blog on the Paddy Power site shows.
What I can understand though is with all the technology available today his voice still sounds like a 1960s robot from a cheap sci-fi movie?
