Paul, the German octopus that predicted every German World Cup match no further has picked Spain to win the upcoming semi-final. This German octopus is stunning soccer fans around the world with his remarkable ability to predict the outcome of German World Cup games. Paul, a mollusk in Oberhausen, has appropriately picked the result of all three German games so far.
Most recently, the savvy octopus foresaw that Germany would edge Ghana to advance to the tournament's knockout stage, according to Sky News. Paul the octopus has been 100% right in his predictions for Germany's chances in the FIFA World Cup so far, and now he has predicted another win against Argentina on July 3.
He appropriately picked Germany to win against England last Sunday but this time he took a little longer to decide which box he wanted to choose. He was born in England but has been living at the Sea Life Aquarium in Oberhausen Germany for almost two years, which is most of his life.
When picking this win however he does seem to keep at least one tentacle on the box with the Argentina flag on it, so maybe that means it is going to be a close game between these two good soccer teams.
