Yes it may just be an octopus, but it’s one that has been correct with all it’s predictions for Germany during this world cup.

Damnit! I’m doing it again!

I’m talking about Soccer (football!) on my blog.

Here’s Paul. He’s a looker alright.

Did you know that he’s English? Born in Weymouth apparently (don’t ask me how I know stupid useless random facts like this).

Anyhoo – I put a lot of credence into this animals ability to accurately predict Germany’s fortunes in all their matches using nothing but his tastebuds.

Then I realised, it’s not the Octopus that is determining the outcome, it’s all the people who BELIEVE him that are manifesting the outcome.

Germany had no hope against Spain in the semi final, because the whole country put so much stock in the fact that he opened Spain’s tasty mussel morsel first, that they simply manifested the loss against Spain. Had they had more faith in their team, and less in a plate of raw calamari, things might have been very different for the boys none of whom appear to suffer from blackheads apparently. Har. Har. Yeah, definitely one of the better looking teams out there.

Which is why, now that “Paul” has predicted that Spain are going to beat my darling Netherlands in the final, I’m going to stand up and shout from the rooftops that it’s all stupid and ridiculous, and no one should believe a freakin’ Octopus in the first place.

Besides apparently their is a parakeet in Singapore with the same correct ratio as Paul the Octopus, who has predicted Netherlands to win. So do you go with multi-legged globular organisms? Or feathers?

As long as the Netherlands win, I don’t care. I’m not a betting woman.

Oh and by the way the Brazil 2014 Logo has been unveiled in case you’re interested.
