World Cup 2010 – Paul the Octopus has retired from “predictions”

At the same time as the FIFA World Cup 2010 was obtainable on, a new “fable” came into being; more like a legend. Paul the Octopus – people supposed that Paul the octopus can predict the entire World Cup outcome. Paul was born in England and was residing in an aquarium in Germany. The English aquarium’s protector did not know about his “prophecy” skills while the Germans were able to see how the octopus can “show” them who the winner of the match is.

All in progress back in the European finals which took place in 2008. Paul the Octopus unexpectedly came into picture during that competition when someone showed that the Octopus can easily show who the winner is. It used to work like this; two containers full of clams were lowered into his tank and both the containers had a flag of a country. The octopus used to open the lid of one urn and used to feed from it. The urn which he ate from would be the team who is going to win. It was simple and no one really knew how he did it. In the European Championship 2008, he was set to predict all of the German matches. He predicted them all correctly except two; the one against Croatia which Germany actually won and the match against Spain, which was the final and the Germans lost.
