Paul, the Octopus Oracle, predicts Spain win in Semis! (YES!!!)

twitpic.com/22i0wx

Apparently, it's FAKE.

Its a fake. Feeding (so prediction) is scheduled for tomorrow 06.07.2010 at 11:00

how do you know that it is scheduled for tomorrow? Can you tell me?

I can't tell you how glad I am that it's a fake! Just got really shocked!!!

Shame. I'd started liking Paul for a moment. Oh well, edited accordingly…

Thanks for the info, Judy, we'll try to bring you the real prediction tomorrow at that time, then!

elmo is right, it is fake. I want Spain to win but, please, stop making photoshops about Paul The Octopus. By the way, is monday already. ¿Did Paul make his prediction for Germany-Spain finally?

Nope, he won't be asked till tomorrow!

if you cook this Octopus, i think its so delicious..add some salt and chillies…

I wasn't me, I promise! If I were to make a Photoshop of Paul, I'd include more tentacles, finely chopped onions, garlic and a bit of olive oil…
And apparently they don't feed Paul until tomorrow. So tomorrow we'll know.

Is is fake or not? I am rooting for Spain. Hopefully they can crack the looks like a strong Germany defense. Who thought the German would do well in this world cup.

Argentina with Messi already failed but maybe Spain can. Really want to see the Netherlands and Spain in the final. Go Spain!

thank heavens this is fake! i would kill the octopus if spain won!!!!!

I know it wasn't you Ade C. This fake picture is in internet since yesterday sunday. By the way, it's a little funny how so many people and media from Spain and Germany are waiting a prediction from an Octopus. Please Paul, pick the spanish flag!

I hope Germany wins World Cup if Spain finally doesn´t. The germans are playing really good and the victories over England and Argentina will be always remembered. My congratulations for your great national team.

” He has predicted Germany’s victories over Australia, Ghana, England and Argentina, and also, more shockingly, their loss to Serbia.”- noo wayy… where is this octopus?

this is FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE
wheres the video?????????

i hope Spain looses to Germany! Paul better give me some positive results. i was, is and always will support Germany throughout my life! i absolutely dislike spain because all spain supporters here are soo freaking arrogant and think no end of them selves! if Germany sends Spain home! im partying in college!

Its a fucking octopus who cares?

I really hope that Spain thrashes Germany!! And it will be great if any one either Spain or Netherlands win the World Cup this time. German players maybe good but they are arrogant and stupid (saying things against the opponents before a game). They will taste their own medicines soon..I am praying to The Almighty..GO SPAIN!!

Ehem… since when has the German team become arrogant and stupid! ?!?!?!? this is soo not right, they totally canned Argentina and did it without any violence! if anyone deserves to win it should be Germany!

In an aquarium in Oberhausen, Germany. But it's English-born, so no bias there…

Ya it is Fake. Rounhead u might have say that again.
Get that striat. when he predicted victories over oz, eng, arg u said it was right.
now get taste of ur own medicines ,

Final will be between Spain versus Netherlands. We want new winner.

Also germany will finish 3rd placeof with uruguay.

Nadal won wimbeldon in 2008 , spain won european championship that year. this year he again wins wimbeldon, spain will defeat ger.

so got my point. Lightning strikes back.(Twice)

xD es la misma imagen de serbia.. si son lozerssss

Paulito, if you pick Spain, I will send you to the big octopus heaven in the sky! You better check yourself before you wreck yourself!

Go Germany!

I failed to understand why the poul octopus took so long to predict semi final for german vs spain? I feel confuse bcs you always post every poul predicts before 3days to the match why it took you so long to give us a final answer within the two flag. I guess poul can be confuse to choose spain win bcs german flag look similar to spain so maybe poul can failed this time. I am 100% believe in poul octopus bcs they can see much than anyone! God bless octopus

I am still wondering if that pictures are right or fake bcs it took poul octopus too long to predicts the match for german vs spain this semi final. I think something wrong somewhere or maybe we should see the video tomorrow first if true or not. What time the poul can predicts the match? Pls waiting to see the result but I hope spain wins the cup bcs is first time but germany play good to have the cup!

Read my lips, Paul! If you make the wrong pick (for me that would be Spain) I will send Harry the Hammerhead Shark to suck you up. I am wondering if they will stream the 10 hour procedure? If they do they might have a greater global audience than the game itself.

Again relying on god?

what was the wrong prediction in the european championship pls?

That´s very nice from you. However, I´ll party if we win Regards from an arrogant spanish supporter

this new is fake! everybody now by now, that this photo is not real… the real will be tomorrow

Iä! Iä! España ftagn!

That's right!!! I also noticed the pattern, In 2008 Nadal won Wimbledon and Spain on Euro. In 2010 Nadal won Wimbledon, so let's hope Spain can do the same and let history repeat itself.

It certainly won't be an easy match, in fact most of Spain's matches have rather been quite tough even with supposedly “easy” opponents, but no opponents should be underestimated.

Whatever the results, win lose or draw, I am proud Spain has made history and made it this far.

Paul is orange, let's hope that's an omen.

well then may the best team win. and wow you're calling yourself arrogant?? hahaha anyway looking forward to the match , we'll see who's going home tonight. i don't trust this octopus anymore

The photo and prediction is false. This is a photo of Paul when he picked Serbia over Germany, The photos are identical down to the position of the tenticles of Paul. The flag of Spain is missing the crest in the center off to the left. This was posted by a disgruntled Argentinian fan that stated before the Germany game he was going to have “Octopus” for dinner. So much for that.
Paul will predict the Netherland game before the other semi final. I guess Argentinians are as bad at doctoring photos as their play againest Germany.

Paul finally has spoken… well, “picked”: Spain! In SkyNewsHD you can watch the video from this morning.

i didn't say all people. i said all Spanish supporters here as – in my area are arrogant! and no ya'll aren't the best!

this freaking octopus cant predict the game!! just out of luck if he manages to get some right doesn't mean he's psychic! hes a freaking octopus! he doesn't even know what foot ball is! he doesn't even have feet! i swear if Spain wins im killing you Paul!

SPAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN

Totally agree with you!

Start sharping your best knife! Then add some salt, lime, and chili, emmmm delicious!!!

You tend to be arrogant ,like you say, when we are the best!

I totally agree with you, Its not this 8 legged freak who predicts game!!!Germany took a big risk squadding new and young players and they are winning cause they are doin one simple thing that is” Playing”. and i believe “who plays!WINS”

I am rooting for Spain but I don't rely on an Octopus for the win, I hope Spain will win regardless or put up a good fight. Win Lose or Draw,they're still champions in their own right.

Paul, I will put my wager on Spain this time. If it comes wrong, I'll see you on a big plate :p

OMG Adolf Hitler is goin down hardcore! rejoice! Nederlands versus Spain!
Spain goin down gainst the neddy's!

Got a Hitler up you a**e, f****r! :-/

Don't think so. I met some Spanish supporters on the blog who appeared to be quite nice. Nonetheless, we will see our Mannschaft victorious tonight DEUTSCHLAAAAAAAAAND, DEUTSCHLAAAAAAAAND….

Hey u look like paul the octopus..u better hide or the german fans will cook u in a steaming pot

People, it is not fake. You need to google for the video. GO SPAIN

yayyyyyyyyyyyyy!i just hate germany!foooling around, making others go crazy and scoring!dats not football!go spain go!

fuck spain

Germans trying to trick spain to make them feel over-confident….. Don't know how they do it… but I don't buy it….

spain..spain.spain..spain…………spain…………….spain…….spain

Oh oh……… germans supporters are too good at mind games when their arrogant team wins, they will tell the whole world that they are the best and unbeatable ever! But when other team got possibility to win, they begin to accuse that we are arrogant………. So now, please check yourself, who is arrogant here? Mind game is so lame. PERIOD. VAMOS ESPANYOL!

Without any violence? Hmmmmm the germans squad had badmouthed Argentina before the match even begun. Badmouthing is exactly the same as personality killing. It's more dangerous than real violence. Germans are really good at provoking other party. When they said badly about south american people, that was not professional at all. Totally way off talking about football. When you can't relate to the same topic in a conversation but wandering off rubbing salt on to other people, it means you are not on the same intellectual wave = stupid.

and yeah the Spanish team doesn't deserve to be in the finals!

going to cook it Spanish style for being such a traitor! im going to enjoy tonight's dinner

awesomeee they totally deserve to win!!

omg whatever! your a perfect example of a Spain supporter to everyone here commenting!

omg like i sit around all day thinking about this! and for teh last freaking time i didnt say all are arrogant! i specified here = where i live! i dont even know you guys. im never so quick to judge everyone coz of a few f****** loosers!

Hide in the Dark or what??? Sorry, I prefair women, so you have to keep on searching!

ya the German squad will win every world cup for a thousand years , ya!
and by the way we didn't lose the WWII we came second

Clever old Mr Octopus. HE WAS RIGHT and major fireworks currently going off here in Marbella…happy, happy ..daze. Hiccup.

Hey Joanne…we won, we won, we won…is that arrogant enough for you?

Partying in Spain with you all the way!!

You didn't hope hard enough! hahahaha…

This world cup your best bet is 3rd place loser!

Fake or not Spain beat the crap out of Germany!

All hail Paul the Octopus Oracle cousin of Great Old One… Cthulhu.

Oh, by the Elder Gods, another Cthulhu fan here?! I love you!!! Come celebrate our victory in R'lyeh!!! (Paul will be there, of course…)

Well, well, well…now…what's the best team?…Now seriously. Germany has a great team anf great players but sorry guys. Spanish players has something u don't more expirience playing this style of football. We move the ball faster than you and we had the controll 80 of the 90 minutes. Germany played with counter attacks using their speed. Where were that new Germany that likes to play better?.In my opinion,as I said you have a great team but, Germany played in a defensive way. Probably the coach or the players or both had a looooooooooot of respect to spain didn'd want to play face to face with spain. Sorry mates. Otherwise you did a good match, good luck next time

yeah!!! I'm partying in my colleague tonight as Spain win!!hahahaa!!

Now stupid Germans want to kill him just bcoz his prediction was right!!!:( TT

hey…..spain plays good! and that's true they are arrogant, i agree that they have some attitude problem, but not the whole team or players. i have nothing to say about the players, they deserved to win this world cup, although i like germany ever since. congrats spanish team….keep up the good work! i hate the arrogant and bad attitude espanyoles….cabron holepoyas!

yes joanne….not all…but i know only 1 spanish got very rude and bad character…my former boss, he thinks he is the best and act like a king.

I very happy when Spain win and i want to win more

would you like it if a bunch of sharks ate you ? no right all germans are stupid and cruel and ugly ass ppl such a same hitler is still alive ANIMAL CRUELTY!!!

Prediction is totally bad for every viewer…its not good.Im also the fan of Spain but if i know the climax then it will not be interested to watch GAME………..

Everybody who is not supporting Spain is definitely a looser.

Spain is the current European Champion, has shown flawless technique during the tournament and it is classified as a vibrant, technical, superb, creative team, which has only received 3 yellow cards and committed 60 faults against 110 during the World Cup.

Spaniards we are not arrogant, just a modest team who let the actions and the results do the talking, unlike some of you, experts in b**shit to justify your mediocrity.

USA go home! England go home! Germany go home!

VIVA ESPAÑA!!!!!

it looks like you did not party after all……Germany was literally humilliated!!!!

Dany, your mouth is too big. You should have seen all the Germans crying after the match, hahahah!!!! Germany so humilliated and in shame.

But this is not for Spain, we don´t focus in loosers. We only put our DNA into the ass of our enemies……..so you can go home with the Spanish seed inside!

VIVA ESPAÑA!!!!!!!

they took 3rd place! who cares so what if they didnt win the world cup! m still proud of them!

no no not the Spanish people! i like them! i dont like the football supporters! in my college! know what im saying?

i've had worse!

omg lol you actually think i would kill it? haha yeah right. and don't tell me about animal cruelty! im more of an animal than you know..and you don't even know me!
