<br>Ermm????? to get 3rd place! That's like saying what's the point of getting a bronze medal in the Olympics. 3rd is better than 4th and it was a pretty good match with the passion it deserves.<br><br>

The big squid is German. You expected him to predict the Dutch to win? Red card!

Ahem, Paul is English - born at Sea Life Park in Weymouth but went to Germany a few years ago in part exchange for Owen Hargreaves. Looks like the Germans got the better deal than Man Utd in that one.

Paul is English? You don't say? Well, that's grand that an English subject, invertebrate though he may be, can find some small way to connect England to this World Cup. Bully for you.

I don't think octopus recognize nationalities, boarders or passports. To them your either an octopus or your not! I've been trying to explain nationality to my British Bulldog for years and I've finally come to the conclusion he doesn't understand a f@kin word I say?

So yes, I believe him.

My Thai wife says the real Paul the Octopus from the Zoo in Oberhausen in Germany predicted that Spain was going to win the final.

A smaller less famous specimen somewhere in the Netherlands predicted that the Netherlands were going to win the final.

Suddenly there appear to be more than a handful of gifted animals.

You think it is only Paul that is the English influence over this world cup. The referee and his team are English and if you take a look at Webb, the referee, it is pretty obvious he was an octopus in a previous life.

BTW I don't think Octopi have ears.

Let's keep this Thailand related shall we. As Lin Ping, the Chiang Mai panda cub has also gone for Spain.

Anything an octopus can do, so can a panda. ( Although I think she may just have copied Paul's result.)

Thanks for posting...and I do agree with your post as well....

The Panda is so cute.

:rolleyes:....tell me about it.......

Panda's do make mistakes though, like the one in the picture; they probably put the odour of even the Bamboo-leaves on/inside the -photo shopped- cake (is it a cake ?).

LaoPo :lol:

For the 3rd place match (what's the point of this?) I expect a bunch of bench warmers to get a run-out.

Yes, the victory spirit of the players for the 3rd place position is negative since they have not as yet recovered from the previous lost game and they enter the pitch as losers, no doubt they want to go home, the German team fielded five "B" players for this game.

FIFA should reconsider whether the 3rd place position should continue to be determined by a full game, or by the teams goal scoring position in the competition, as is the case in the English league (and in other countries) were promotion and demotion of the appropriate teams is decided by their goal scoring position, What about Sepp B.

Imagine what the panda and the octopus could predict if they worked together!

Every picture I've seen of Paul 'picking' his World Cup winners, has show him gripping onto the block on the (our) right side. Seems he just likes that side, hence some 'expert' puts the likely victor there!!! Not so much an Oracle as an Octopus of habit I'd say!!!:jap:
