Thread: Germany's 'Octopus oracle' keeps perfect record

This is hilariousssss!



It will not come as much of a consolation to heartbroken German fans, but at least Paul, Germany's now world-famous "Octopus oracle", has maintained his perfect record.
The "psychic" creature has correctly predicted all six of Germany's FIFA World Cup™ games and, amid excruciating drama broadcast live on national television on Tuesday, plumped for Spain, causing anguish up and down the country. And the eight-legged soccer soothsayer was spot on Wednesday, as Carles Puyol's semi-final header shattered Germany's dreams of winning their fourth world crown.
Two plastic boxes, one with a German flag and one with a Spanish, were lowered into Paul's tank at an aquarium in western Germany, each with a tasty morsel of food inside. The box which Paul opens first is adjudged to be his predicted winner. But with classic fickleness, German fans turned against their beloved octopus after he forecast a Spanish win.
According to 'Der Western' daily paper, there have been "a host of comments on Facebook, Twitter... suggesting Paul should be fried, barbecued or turned into a seafood salad or paella". "Others wanted to throw him into the shark tank," the paper reported on its website. And on Berlin's fan mile, some sections of the crowd also turned against their former hero. Anti-octopus songs were sung.

Let "him" decide which team will be the final champion :)

I agree let the octopus predict who will win the Cup this year to see if its a fluke or not

Yea lets see if he is allowed to pick the final.
But even if he is wrong for the final, he would have 6/7 correct.
If i were betting tons of money based on his predictions, i would be very rich right now.

It seems the oracle will predict only German matches.Let see what it predicts for the third spot

I know this lucky bast.rd is knowing only Germany's matches. So it can't guess who will win the cup. :)
