Just when I thought the hype surrounding Paul the Octopus had reached it’s peak I found out that Sky News were actually going to broadcast Paul’s prediction live. Now that’s something you don’t see every day, a major TV channel in the UK broadcasting live as an octopus in Germany makes predictions for the World Cup finals.

Another thing that surprised me was that Paul the Octopus is now also attempting to predict the World Cup final between Netherlands and Spain. This is the first time that Paul attempts to predict a game not involving Germany.

First out was the prediction for the game between Uruguay and Germany where Paul was considering picking Uruguay for a while before settling with a Germany victory. Seems like this is going to be a tight game according to Paul the Octopus.

A couple of minutes later it was feeding time again as the boxes has been reloaded with mussels and a Netherlands flag as well as a Spain flag. Once again our dear octopus Paul settled with eating the mussel out of the box on the right hand side which was the box featuring the Spanish flag.

So there you have it folks, Germany will win their match against Uruguay tomorrow and on Sunday Spain are going to beat Netherlands.

If you are a die hard Paul the Octopus fan you can bet some money on this double at the odds of 2.80 at the online sportsbook BetUS. BetUS accepts customers from all over the world (except from Canada).
