It is factual, but that advertisement is still a bit presumptuous.
I think that 2010 will be an average kind of a year which will make a bit of a mockery of something like this.
But I guess that the perogative of a team that has won 16 cups is to show them off.
A 17th cup is coming - but the circumstances surrounding the win will make it a relief and a distraction from the things that are occurring at the time.
It wont be won in a bold and authoritative manner that might be implied by an advertisement like that - it will come more unexpectedly, like a thief in the night - but nevertheless, it will be won...
I will take a stab - we will finish an unconvincing 3rd/4th, with a poor run into the finals, and some recent finals choking meaning no one gives us a chance. We then lose our first final confirming everyones pre-conceived ideas. We then go into the semi as underdogs, and win unconvincingly. Then a Prelim as rank underdogs, and we win (like 1999) then underdogs again for the GF and win again (unlike 99).
It will be a relief to other world events such as Celine Dion releasing 'My Heart Still Goes On And On And On', a 23 minute power ballad with Meatloaf, which inexplicably becomes a massive hit.
