It's Spain! Psychic Octopus Makes Choice
An apparently psychic octopus has risked the wrath of his fellow countrymen by predicting Spain will beat Germany in the World Cup semi-final.
The creature - who lives at Germany's Oberhausen Sea Life Centre - has correctly chosen all of his homeland's results so far.
Two plastic boxes with the flag of each country on the front had been placed into his tank.
With food in both boxes to attract Paul, it is then a matter of waiting until he opens one of the boxes to determine his predicted winner - and this time he has gone for the Spanish.
The eight-legged mystic, known as Paul, irked England fans by predicting the debacle in Bloemfontein the day before it happened, despite being born in Weymouth.
And to prove he shows no bias, he plumped for Serbia before they defeated Joachin Low's side 1-0 during the group stages.
