Why did Paul the octopus become popular during the World Cup?
Because Paul octopus predicted the result of the game with high accuracy.

Born in England and raised in Germany, Paul is an octopus in Oberhausen Aquarium, a city in western Germany. I began to predict the European Cup two years ago, and I guessed it surprisingly accurately. Only Germany lost to Spain in the final and guessed it wrong, and everything else was right. He got an 83% prediction success rate when he just debuted. And Paul really became popular thanks to the World Cup in South Africa.

He has "successfully predicted" Germany's victory over Australia and Ghana in the World Cup in South Africa, and unexpectedly lost to Serbia's group match results. It is predicted that Germany will beat England and Argentina, two strong rivals of Germany, and it will lose to Spain in the final of12, with an accuracy of 100%. Faced with such a fact, some skeptics are speechless.

How to predict:

How did Paul predict it? Aquarium staff put mussels in glass boxes as bait, and then marked the two glass boxes with the national flags of the opposing sides. "Paul" chooses which mussel first, which means that the national team in the glass box where the mussel is located wins. After successive successful predictions, Paul Octopus has become quite famous all over the world.

The title of "Squidward Tentacles" is the honorific title of "Paul" by netizens in China. Now Squidward Tentacles's prediction will not only make some fans "nervous", but even affect the mood of some players and coaches. "Squidward Tentacles" leads the trend of animal prediction. Of course, "Paul" is not the only octopus who predicts the "World Cup", let alone the only animal who predicts the "World Cup".
