May 25, 2010 - submitted by Enrique, United States of America Q. Dear Oracle, do you believe that Peter Crouch was offside on his second goal vs Mexico? Also, how do you think Mexico did against a good England team? The Oracle replies: A few guys brought beers round and we spent hours picking what our final squad would be if we were in charge. I didn't win my argument though that I think goals like Peter Crouch's are not really goals at all. Although the ball went in the net it got there by a messy exchange resulting in it sliding down his arm! Hardly skill is it? Anyway, looking back at the replay it did seem he was offside... After visiting Mexico in March I definitely showed more interest in their side last night and although there were a couple of silly mistakes, they played well and I enjoyed the game.

May 25, 2010 - submitted by Claire, United States of America Q. Dear Wise One, Do watch Lost, the tv show? If you do, what did you think of the ending. The Oracle replies: I watched the very first season of Lost (I always want to add an exclamation or question mark to that word now, cheers lads!) and loved it but I couldn't get into the second. That said like so many people I wanted to know how it all ended (er, actually being the Oracle of course I already knew) and have to say it seems to be a very obvious cop out to me. Some of the other ends they tied up were justified but c'mon, is that really the best they could come up with? Imagination should have no limits and it's such a shame that after so many years that's how it ended!

May 25, 2010 - submitted by Jay, United States of America Q. Are you aware of the So Sad petition that's been going on since 2006? No dice huh? Have you heard the song? The Oracle replies: Yes I am aware of the petition and yes, I have heard the song. For those that don't know So Sad was a very early Coldplay song that was played live back in 1998. They did record it roughly - before the Safety E.P's release - but it was never available in the public domain apart from snippets of a live version. There is at least one cassette with a studio recording of the song on it but it won't be released.
