Paul The Octopus Gives The Final Order: Get Ready For A Spanish Celebration.

July 9th, 2010 | by: chris |

Well, no need to actually play out this World Cup final business – Paul the Octopus has spoken, and it’s going to be a Spanish fiesta come Sunday evening. Six for six in the World Cup now, this is the first game, I believe, where he’s chosen between two non-German teams, so perhaps his powers do not extend beyond one-half Jogi & Friends, one-half evil opposition. (Unlikely – the thing’s a soothsayer proper.)

And has anyone posed the theory that Paul isn’t psychic, but simply tremendously tactically astute? He must be brilliant on a chalkboard with eight arms at his service.

For the final Paul always predicts the team that will lose.

COME ON!!! WE ALL KNOW THAT PAUL IS NOT A PSYCHIC, HE'S JUST A HUNGRY OCTOPUS….WHENEVER HE “CHOOSES” ONE OF THE LITTLE BOXES THE TEAM AND THE NATION'S SPIRIT RISES N' THEY HAVE MORE CONFIDENCE IN THEMSELVES…THAT'S WHY THEY END UP WINNING THE GAME….BUT IF YOU ACTUALLY RELY ON WHAT A ZOO ANIMAL “PREDICTS”…U REALLY GOT SOME MEDITATION TO DO….

Oh Paul, why have you abandoned me? I have been your loyal follower and proselytized your cephlopody fabulousness only to be forsaken (forsook?). Woe onto me.

That's why anything to do with Paul the Octopus is tongue in cheek, genius.

PAUL'S PREDICTION IS ONLY SENDING A SIGNAL BUT THE BAD NEWS IS THAT IT IS CAPABLE OF WEAKENING TEAMS ALREADY DOOMED FOR LOSS AS THEY STANDS TO BE RELAXED. HOWEVER, FOLLOWING HIS PREDICTIONS, WOULD YOU SAY GERMANY LOSS TO SERBIA WAS A RESULT OF GERMANY PLAYING SOFTLY? THEY HAD GOT A PENALTY EVEN TO SAVE THE GAME. COME SUNDAY, WE SHALL KNOW WHO INDEED IS PAUL
