Celebrating to the Octopus

Alright everyone !!!! This is a time to celebrate the Octopus “Paul”

After, the oracle “Paul” predicted that Spain would be the world cup champion. All the press and Spain supporters are keeping their eyes on the result of this Final round between Spain and Holland. Finally, Paul’s prediction is correct again. Spain is the world cup champion and Paul became to the best animal oracle of the sport world from now on ^^.

The last prediction of Paul

To be close with Paul, today I would like to provide everybody about Paul’s history and also his past work.

Paul

Paul the octopus is a common octopus and he’s living in a tank at Sea Life Centre in Oberhausen, Germany. Paul is used as an animal oracle since to predict the results of soccer matched, especially international matches that Germany is playing UEFA Euro 2008. During a divination, Paul is presented with 2 boxes containing food, each marked with the flag of a national soccer team in an upcoming match.


In UEFA Euro 2008, Paul correctly predicted the result of 4 of 6 of Germany’s matches. He failed to predict their defeats by Croatia in the group stage and by Spain in the championship’s final.

This is a table result of Paul’s prediction in Euro 2008.



In the world cup 2010 at South African, Paul came back again and for this time, Paul’s accuracy is 100%. He predicted the winners of each of the seven 2010 FIFA World cup matches that the German team played, against Australia, Serbia, Ghana England, Argentina, Spain, Uruguay, and also the Championship match between Spain and Holland.


This is a table result of Paul’s prediction in World cup 2010.




Right now, I think all of Dutch man would like to grill and eat him like a seafood dinner, but for all Spanish, they would say “Paul… thank you very much”. For me who love seafood as well, I don’t want to eat him but I need his prediction again. I want him to predict the English Premiere League season 2010-2011. If he chooses Man United, I will quit eating octopus. On the other hand, he chooses the other team, I promise I will eat octopus everyday!!! Hehehe ^^
