Abstract: This short tribute to the guru of Enumerative and Algebraic Combinatorics started out when one the authors(DZ) attended the Stanely@70 conference, that took place at the same time as the preliminary stage of the 2014 World Cup. It states a surprising application of an analog of Richard Stanley's famous theorem about the enumeration of magic squares to the enumeration of possible outcomes in a World Cup Group.
