World Cup: Medieval three lions badge found in Coventry
From the BBC News:
An archaeologist who found a medieval badge featuring the England football team’s three lions logo hopes it will prove a good World Cup omen.
The copper piece was found in the ground last week in a stone wall in Coventry by Caroline Rann.
The badge, thought to be from a horse’s harness, is believed to date from the 13th Century.
This article was posted last week, before England’s first two matches against USA and Algeria. In order for this good omen to come true, England will need to beat Slovenia to even advance to the next stage. And then they’ll have to win four more games in order to win the World Cup. We’ll see if there is any life left in the omen after England plays Slovenia on Wednesday.
