Okay I've been talking about this with my brother, he still thinks it's a trick as the coincidence is too great (I don't think it is which will follow) but before I show this to my more pig headed atheist friends I wonderd if there was any way Simon could prove he didn't post multiple predictions and then delete them when they didn't pan out.

As for coincidence V.S paranormal V.S subconscious. The first predictions was that spain would win the final, and apparently spain has been the favourite throughout. So not really 50/50 but still a good chance of winning. The second prediction of the other team being Holland was 50/50 with Holland as the favourite over Uruguay and the final prediction 1-0 is apparently very likely.

If you really did dream these (and I believe you did) Then the question becomes do you or anyone your close to have an active interest in football? Is there any chance you could have subconsciously picked up these odds?

Well, we live in a media-saturated world, don't we. A few colleagues are into football, but mostly tipped Germany all the way, but I wake up to the Today programme most mornings, and the news is a hard thing to avoid...

I do agree, I hope it doesn't seem like I'm fishing for clues, I'm just genuinely excited about this.
