I was amazed when I heared the story about Paul the oracle octopus from Oberhausen, Germany, who has correctly predicted the result of all the German games. Germany was always his first choice until they were facing Spain. Before the match he picked Spain - the matadores, who won the semi-final though Germany was one of the clear favourites to win the cup and bring home the trophy.
How amazing is this Octopus? Just felt like sharing it with you who haven't heard about this very special mollusk creature Paul.
It sure makes you wonder what more there is to animals that we don't know about? The world (and all its creatures) is so fascinating.
I have to say that I feel a little bit psychic myself, just like Paul the O-pus, because during the WC I've bought a big Spanish flag and a tiny Dutch flag, plus a orange Vuvuzela and two Dutch supporter "bracelets." That's the only supporter stash I got and guess what: they are both in the final. Coincidence? In my case, yes most likely and certainly so.
As for the final, I have now predictions about who the champion will be, and no clear favourite.
I'll pick my favourite when I'm watching the game.
One thing is for sure: I'm going for the most honest team who plays the most impressive soccer and who acts the least.
Whoever that is, is my team.
