World Cup a good time for religious opportunism

I guess the churches are desperate enough to try anything to get more people to attend services:

World Cup visitors can pray for divine intervention if their team is losing in special half-time religious services.

Two Berlin churches, the Berlin Cathedral and the Kaiser-Wilhelm Memorial Church, will be holding 15-minute half-time services throughout the tournament.

The services will feature football related sermons and hymns that resemble team anthems allowing worshippers of the World Cup to pray for victory.

Of course, there are some teams who will need a full-blown miracle or two, not just the odd afterthought of prayer to advance in this tournament.
