The World Cup™ formula

Forget the cake! That's black witchcraft! Now, here is the SCIENTIFIC proof that Germany will win the World Cup. It's a simple mathematical formula:

x = a * b - c

a is the year when the team won the World Cup for the first time, b the year of their second World Cup title. c is the year when they last won the World Cup.

Let's fill in the data for Germany: 1954 (Switzerland), 1974 (Germany), 1990 (Italy).

x = (54 * 74) - 1990

x = 3996 - 1990

x = 2006
