Third place for Germany is still an honour -- some nations like Canada have ever gotten a whiff of 10th place.

Hah yes I know he doesn't always, but from the ones I've seen I've only seen him plop down right. I think its like 70% right side from what I've heard?

Solid first half. Mueller's rebound goal was solid. Uruguay seems very good on the counter, and I think they might be able to capatilize from Germanys miscues in this rainy weather.

I'm going to stay strong with my prediction and still say 2-1 Germany (although Suarez didn't score the goal for Uruguay =/)

When Paul predicted Germany to beat England, the German flag was in the left box. Razz
(Look for "Octopus predicts England result against Germany" on YouTube.)

Furthermore, the positions of the flags are the same as in FIFA match list:

Very good I have checked up on the facts youtube ect. and of course your correct. ;)But I said most of the time. Not to take anything away from Paul. lol
Its just I still think a few factors are at work, the other one is the mussels under each flag. Is one fresh or was just open to give off the scent of food?
Dont tell me you really think a octopus is a oracle or just very lucky & maybe has help from something?

To all the German fans out there - game well played. To the next four years!

What does Paul know, he's just an octopus living in a garden in the shade!
