World Cup winners rely on cephalopod

It seems that Paul the Oracle Octopus is at it again, making a prediction for the World Cup final this Sunday. Paul picks a winner by choosing between two boxes of food with each teams flag on the containers. As well as the World Cup final, Paul has also predicted the outcome of the third-place match on Saturday between Germany and Uruguay (needless to say Germany is the predicted winner there).

Paul has predicted that Spain will win over the Netherlands and with his 100% accuracy there seems little doubt. Another correctly guessing animal, Manny the predicting parakeet in Singapore however has chosen Netherlands to win. Still one has to question putting so much trust in and octopus and a bird.
