But more about this later.
There are 32 nations represented at the Korea-Japan
tournament, and 32 national capitals [1] involved
with the venue in Yokohama where the final match
will be played on 30-Jun-02, starting soon after
15h30 (Japan Time, -9h from Greenwich).
The distances from each capital to Yokohama varies
from 507 miles for Tokyo, Japan to 11,535 miles for
Asuncion, Paraguay which is about as far away as
one can get. The maximum distance is half the
Earth's circumference, or about 12,450 miles.
Each capital's distance from Yokohama can be
analysed harmonically by dividing it by the Earth's
circumference (25,902 miles = 360 degrees). The
result can then be treated as a stand-alone list
of aspects/harmonics, and/or compared with the
planetary patterns occuring during the competition.
In the following list, the distances have been
converted into a percentage of the Earth's semi-
circumference, and this into a zodiacal angle
measured from Zero Aries as Yokohama. (So that
all angles are less than 180 degrees).

Lower harmonics are usually considered more potent
than higher, as are smaller orbs, and prime/odd
harmonics are weaker than even. H16 & H32 are
important, and may in a sense be stronger than
many lower harmonics, but here there's only one
instance of each.
The 33rd Harmonic is also special and keeps
intruding in my research.
{On the way home this afternoon, while trying to
avert my feet from scuffing a child's nicely
chalked hop-scotch boxes on the sidewalk, I began
noticing yellow 33s and other markers sprayed at
the edge of the road for about half a block.
A gas company is at work, I then noticed,
installing new lines. But I still don't know why
33 metres should be a favoured mark-point).
In these world soccer stakes, 33 intrudes again
uniquely, courtesy of Paris. It's the only capital
that resonates with this harmonic, and France is
the champion team, having won both the previous
World Cup four years ago, and the more recent
European championship.
So why did France lose the opening game to Senegal?
The second worst team by some reckoners
By distance, Dakar's harmonic (h31) is at bottom
because Costa Rica's H32 is more potent as a member
of the H16 series, which includes octile (45) to at
least the quarter-octile ("quork": 11.5) aspect.
This upset is dramatically reflected in the two
eclipses that occur during the games. The path of
the solar eclipse on June 10 moves from Baja to
Borneo, approximately. Across the full breadth of
the Pacific Ocean, linking Worlds Old & New, with
Mexico at one end, Indonesia at the other. And the
eclipse ends in the general area of Japan & Korea,
or at least near their longitudes. However, this
event is much more telling when an astro-symbolic
geodetic transformation is allowed.
When 90-West is used as Zero Aries, the eclipse
centers on 11-West, near Dakar. And when the same
geodetic arrangement is used to plot the lunar
eclipse of 24-Jun, it falls near the longitude of
Paris (2-East). [2]
These two eclipses indicate the pair of nations
that were involved in the opener. France was,
necessarily, as the defending champion, but
Senegal was chosen by lottery, presumably.
That France lost may be indicated by: a)lunar
eclipses being weaker than solar, and b) the
general effect of eclipses as bringing upsets
for the unprepared. Though they can empower those
who know how to use them. An annular eclipse is
special, moreover, since it presents a circle of
fire, a golden ring of power, to whomever can
grasp it
Or more simply, France's loss could be related
to its harmonic distance from Yokohama (H33)
being slightly higher than Senegal's (h31),
depite H33 as a non-prime (3*11) being stronger.
To date (04-Jun-02) there have been 14 games
played and in most cases the team with the better
harmonic distance has won. (Irrespective of
astrological factors).

Rule #1: lower harmonic wins {!) except H32 ($).
Rule #2: close harmonics tie (
All mismatches save one can be qualified. With
Brazil vs Turkey the harmonics are close, but
Brazil is by far the superior team. (Much greater
superiority in most cases should be the deciding
factor). With South Korea vs Poland the winner
apparently was able to exploit the home-team
boost. And finally Belgium should have beaten
Japan, but the game tied also as a result of
the home-team effect.
That leaves Mexico's win against Croatia. This
probably reflects Mexico's greater superiority,
since it is usually ranked in the top seven, but
I'm not sure where Croatia stands. It's a new
team, part of the aftermath of Yugoslavia's demise.
Overall, we really don't need to apply geographic
harmonics or astrology to these early games because
there's a clear potential winner in nearly every
one of the initial eight groups of four teams
playing off. But with eclipses we expect some
surprises, and this may be a way to detect which
teams are most likely to be affected.
So far there have been only two notable surprises,
Senegal beating France the cake-taker, but also
South Korea's win against Poland. But how unusual
are 2 out 14? (I'll leave that to more serious
researchers of this ball & chain craft).
In summary, it appears that in a case like this,
with its participants from many different nations
-- whose capitals can be used as geo-referents --
converging on a single location to decide a winner,
harmonics based on terrestrial distances can act
as a guide to competitive outcomes. While astrology
can serve as vital adjunct, in certain instances at
least.
The key to this kind of prognosis, whether or not
astrology or geography is preferred, is harmonics
theory, which of course need not be limited to any
single discipline or field. It's too fundamental
for that.
More interesting than all of this, although all
will undoubtedly prove handy, are the prospects
for the final game itself -- obscurely alluded
to in the title and introductory paragraph of
this piece. But that will have to wait for Part 2.
Foot(ball) Notes:
1. Actually, there are 33 capitals because South
Africa has two, Cape Town (Legislative) & Pretoria
(Official). Or three, if we include Bloemfontein
(Judicial). I have used all three to calculate a
geographic midpoint as a 'capital focus'.
2. Penumbral lunar eclipse (PLE) 26-May occurs
around 4 degrees of Gemini/Sagittarius. Annular
solar eclipse (ASE) occurs around 19 Gemini.
The PLE of 24-Jun occurs around 2 Cancer/Capricorn.
Using 90-West as Zero Aries for a longitudinal
global zodiac, 4-Gem/Sgr = 26W/154E, in the mid-
Atlantic and off the western coast of Japan. This
has some general symbolic significance, but not
much.
