The Octopus and Soccer

July 10th 2010 18:14
When it comes to sport fans, none are more fanatical than soccer fans. Heated debates, fights and even field invasions are common to a sport that gets heated in the 90 minutes of play. When national teams play there is a sense of patriotism and for some this is the only time they feel it!

In Germany an octopus has successfully predicted six World Cup games. All were over the national German team including its defeat to Spain. The octopus has also predicted Spain as the final winner.


Well all was well while Germany was winning. Once it lost the trouble began. Since you can't blame a great team, you call for retaliation against the octopus!

It was the octopus that caused the team to lose. As odd as that sounds, it would have had the same results if the octopus predicted any other team!

I just pray Paul the Octopus is a betting squid and that Netherlands are going to win and he is raising their odds

I heard a funny thing on the radio yesterday - they were calling him "Paul the Clairboyant" LOL

We were chatting about this the other night and it was pointed out (somewhat skeptically), that the octopus always seems to choose the container/flag on 'screen-right.' Silence followed and then laughter as we all started to ponder who placed the boxes, and how THEY knew who was going to win. Is the octopus handler, in fact, the clairvoyant?

This is turning out to be amusing, because the bottom line is that it is AN OCTOPUS! I'm betting that the flag colors are what he's picking and not the team per se!
