Prophet Nostradamus had predicted that Spain would take home the 2006 World Cup, media reported.

Reading a new meaning into one of Nostradamus' scripts, Spanish media proudly boasted that their country was destined to grab the title in Germany.

In the end of the sixth month of 2006, the King of Spain will cross the Pyrenees with his army, the prophet says. The legions will win the battle in the center of Europe, and the triumphant king will take the Holly Grail back to Spain, the prediction goes.

Wishful Spaniards were quick to see a much-wanted World Cup win in the words of the 16th century prophet. So far Spain has won its two first games - against Ukraine and Tunisia with the impressive 4:0 and 3:1. Tunisia, however, almost had the Iberians cornered with a goal in the 8th minute. It took Spain's side more than an hour to recover and strike back.
