Octopus Paul Spot On Again

Against great odds, Germany defeated Argentina to enter the semi-final stage of the 2010 FIFA World Cup competition. The decisive win puts the spotlight on Octopus Paul who predicted that victory when most pundits believe that Argentina would win. Octopus Paul has a perfect 100% accuracy in predicting the result of Germany’s matches in this 2010 FIFA World Cup competition. Can it maintain that record for the semi final and the final (if Germany makes it to the final)? Now all eyes are on Octopus Paul as he attempts to predict the result of Germany’s semi final result.

The German Scoring Machine

Germany, it seems, loves the number 4. Germany’s youthful players put in 4 goals against Australia. They found the net 4 times against England. And now, against Argentina which was the favorite to reach the final, the German team shot 4 balls into the Argentina goal with no reply from their opponent.

This victory is a major upset, and it vindicates coach Joachim Loew’s strategy of relying on youthful players over the more experienced but older players. As a matter of fact, it is precisely because of the younger and less experienced players in the German team that pundits have predicted Germany would not get pass Argentina. But it did.

Octopus Paul

Octopus Paul took nearly an hour to decide that Germany would beat Argentina. Now we know why. Octopus Paul was too engrossed in “watching” this match, and wanted to “see” more. Perhaps Octopus Paul couldn’t believe that Argentina would collapse so easily?

Think About It

We know that Octopus Paul’s success rate in predicting the outcome of Germany’s games in the 2008 European Championship was 80%. Now in this 2010 FIFA World Cup competition, Germany has already played 5 games. It is 2 games away from the final game. If Octopus Paul maintains his 80% accuracy rate, then the next 2 games could be tricky – because Octopus Paul could statistically be wrong. What would pundits think of the next prediction by Octopus Paul? Place bets on Octopus Paul’s prediction? Or bet on the opposite result? And what would the German players think? Will the Germany team’s morale be affected?

News on Paul the octopus prediction on Germany will go through in the quarter finals of 2010 FIFA World Cup

Argentina vs. Germany – Octopus Prediction

The octopus that is prediction the World Cup games for Germany has become something of a worldwide celebrity. Apparently he was right in 80% of the games in the 2006 World Cup and so far he has picked the right winner in all of Germany’s matches in the 2010 World Cup.

In the quarter final between Argentina and Germany the octopus predicted that Germany will go through. I wouldn’t put too much confidence in this octopus being able to tell the future though and if you are looking for a “real” preview with predictions for this game we have written one that is posted here (human predictions and opinions only in this post).

If you are looking to do some World Cup betting on this match I would recommend ignoring the octopus prediction and trying to make up your own opinion.
