I Ching World Cup Predictions

“The maiden is powerful. One should not marry such a maiden.”

Coming to meet. An unexpected encounter. The wildcard factor — a tactical surprise or shock result.

“Success. No blame. Perseverance furthers. It furthers one to undertake something.”

Endurance. A marathon, not a sprint. The fitter, more consistent side prevails late.

“The southwest furthers. The northeast does not further. It furthers to see the great man. Perseverance brings good fortune.”

Obstruction. A tough, grinding match. The side that handles adversity better scrapes through.

“Success. But if the little fox, almost across, gets his tail wet, there is nothing that would further.”

Not yet fording. Unfinished business. The match hangs in the balance until the final whistle.

“Perseverance brings good fortune. Pay heed to nourishment and to what a person seeks to fill his own mouth.”

Nourishment. Midfield control feeds the attack. The team that wins the middle wins the match.

“Sincere confidence is blocked. Halfway brings good fortune. Going through to the end brings misfortune. It furthers one to see the great man but does not further one to cross the great water.”

Tension and confrontation. A physical, hard-fought battle with cards likely. Composure wins it.
