I'm still recovering from the incredible ending of last night's Superbowl. It's the first I've watched since the days of The Fridge - yup, going to the Wembley game in October has got this lapsed Dolphins fan right back into the NFL again. And what better way to build up to the Superbowl than with a game of Madden '08? Ok, beer and salted snacks may have been better but Madden did just fine last night. Ever since a game of Championship Manager 2 when my virtual Southampton team beat Man Utd 3-1 - a score joyously replicated at The Dell the next day - I've always had faith in the seemingly mystical power of gaming to predict real sport results. So I played two Patriots Vs Giants games last night and New England won both. Close fought games yes, but the Patriots were obviously going to win the real Superbowl. Ahem. The rest is history. Anyone else ever correctly predicted, say, the Cup Final or Wimbledon via FIFA or Virtua Tennis?
