Mani is a fraud.
And Paulie was trying to jinx Spain last time around, now he's accepted reality.

Paul is known for predicting finals wrong!

It's simple. Paul always goes to the right just like Robben always goes to the left.

well, in that case my new theory is that he is attracted to the warm colors (or to the max amount of red)

So how did this predicting thing come about in the first place? They just randomly thought "I wonder what team I should bet on for tonight's match... oh hey, let's ask the octopus!"

Bayern is a machine, yes. But Real Madrid and Barcelona live on a different planet to the rest of the football world.

If we're gonna rely on everything that Paul the Octopus predicts, then we might as well start asking him for his opinion surrounding the outcomes of the upcoming Euro 2012 qualifiers and friendlies.

i hope not because he's never wrong and it would take all the excitement out of football if we know the result beforehand

Ask him if the world will end in 2012 so we dont have to bother about the euro 2012.
