Maybe that's why spain came out so flat in their semifinals match. Next thing you know, during regular season they're gonna have all kinds of animal picking soccer games and influencing how people cap the game. That's just ridiculous.

Spain came out so flat because they are overated this worldcup.....they suck......they are terrible team somethings wrong with german that game .........though.i do enjoyed all the picks from octopus

Spain is a fantastic team, you don't now what you're saying.
And related to the octopus, donkey, elephant or monkeys picking winners it's just a joke that will be long gone in a month, you wonlt see these before a Chelsea - Man Utd or a Barcelona - Real Madrid.

The WC is much more followed than any other football competition, and the most followed sport event in the World and that's why Paul the octopus became so popular, because from many people watching the event, some found it to be fun. I don;t really think that there are people 'tailing' the octopus, I hope so at least.

I'm sure Spain and the Netherlands are both really tracking Paul.

umdterps · 07-09-10, 06:49 PM

TV stations in Spain and the Netherlands had a live broadcast of Paul making his pick today.

The problem is following: They put Spain 1 inch from his face and Netherlands on the other side of the plate or whatever... GUESS WHAT HE TOOK THE SHRIMP CLOSEST TO HIM!!!

I guess he is pretty smart

Btw... I dont think they would surrender a game because a ******* octopus tells them to. But then again, what if it has magic powers and turn their brains into shredded potato :O!!! Praise Jesus!

Im tailing the octopus for the first time tomorrow.

How do you get plays from this octopus? Does he have a website where he posts his picks? Do I have to pay for his picks?

CoZalon · 07-10-10, 12:28 AM

No, they post his picks on youtube

that octopuss thing is just a joke .... germans are not renown for their sense of humor and the one time they try to do a practical joke ... the whole world takes them seriously

wikkidinsane · 07-10-10, 07:14 AM

dude your freaking hilarious. Are you being serious. I hope animals pick every game of every sport for the rest of my life.

My dog just barked when I asked him if the Dutch would win the WC.

He barks in a similar manner when I ask him if he wants a treat or if he wants to go for a walk, so I'm sure it meant yes.

I'm definitely tailing him
