　　Paul: The psychic octopus

　　Paul, the psychic octopus, finished the 2010 FIFA World Cup with a flawless record as Spains 1-0 win over the Netherlands in Sundays final left him with eight perfect predictions.

　　The eight-legged oracle has become a FIFA World Cup sensation by correctly forecasting all seven Germany games in South Africa and he finished the tournament in style by predicting a Spanish victory in the Soccer City sign-off. No one knows how he does it, but for a while it made him the most popular invertebrate in Germany, stealing headlines even from the coalition government.

　　As Paul foretold last week, Spain won their first world title after Andres Iniestas 116th-minute strike broke the Netherlands hearts. The tentacled tipster also correctly predicted Germany would beat Uruguay in Saturdays third place play-off.
