Wear red shirts

Stephen Hawking offers formula for England's success

Mail Online
Physics genius Professor Stephen Hawking has told England manager Roy Hodgson that his best
chances of winning the
World Cup in Brazil rest on key factors like playing a 4-3-3
formation, wearing red shirts and persuading the blondest players to take the penalties.
After a month long study into the science of England's past World Cup performances, Professor Hawking shared some of his findings.
Perhaps most worrying among them for a team set to start their campaign in the Amazon rainforest, he found that a five-degree increase in temperature reduces England's chances ofwinningby 59 percent.

He also discovered England are 22 percent more likely to win short-haul games and that jet-lag, cultural differences and the nationality of the referee and shirt colour all take their toll. They are better close to sea-level and kicking off as near to 3pm as possible.
In red, England have a 20 percent higher rate of success, fitting the theory that red makes teams feel “more confident, more aggressive and more dominant", something which will not be lost on Cardiff owner Vincent Tan.
Professor Hawking also found England won 63 percent of games with a European referee, compared with 38 percent when the referee is from elsewhere. He also added that: "WAGs are irrelevant."
As for penalties, he discovered strikers score the most, not surprisingly. The best place to aim is for the top corners and he also found blond and bald players perform better from the spot than those which dark hard,
something he claimed with remain "one of the mysteries of science."
"European referees are more sympathetic to the English game and less sympathetic to ballerinas like [Luis] Suarez," he said, and noted that goalkeepers who wobble around like Bruce Grobelaar or jump from side to side are 18 percent more likely to make a save.
"As a theoretical physicist I am marginally more qualified to make predictions than Paul the Octopus," said Professor Hawking, who was commissioned for the study by bookmakers Paddy Power and has donated his fee to charities.
He's going for Brazil to win it, by the way. A selection based on the fact that more than 30 percent of World Cups have been won by the host nation.
But he added: “All science, mathematics and rational thought goes out of the window. I am an Englishman and I will be cheering our boys all the way to the final in Rio."
