World Cup 2010: Paul the Octopus Picks Spain To Win In Final Showdown

The World Cup 2010 Finals is coming! And boy, is it gonna be a bushwhacker of a match with Spain and Holland aspiring to win their first ever World Cup trophy.

But these days, football fans seem a bit distracted. Instead of discussing team formations or the brilliance of Andreas Iniestia, David Villa, Xavi Hernandez, Arjen Robben, Wesley Sneijder, they are more concerned with Paul the Octopus.

So far, Paul the Octopus has accurately predicted Germany’s matches throughout the World Cup. The octopus foresaw Germany’s victories and also loses to Serbia and Spain for an immaculate six out of six record.

Some German fans have declared their intention of cooking and eating the octopus, after he predicted their eventual loss to Spain.

Late last night, Psychic octopus Paul predicted that Spain will beat Holland in World Cup final and Germany will squash Uruguay for the third spot. That prompted Spanish Prime Minister to joke about sending a crack team of bodyguards to protect Paul the Octopus after he made the bold prediction.

Where are you guys placing your bets? The smart money is on Paul the Octopus but don’t blame him if you lose your shirt gambling in this World Cup Finals.
