Paul the Octopus-Predicting Competition

Paul Octopus predicts that Germany will defeat England.

1 After continuously predicting the first four matches of the German team in this World Cup, the world-famous octopus "Paul" once again predicted that in the strong dialogue of the World Cup 1/4 finals, the German team would beat the Argentine team led by Diego Maradona and advance to the semi-finals.

2. The performance of the octopus "Paul" seems to indicate that the showdown between the two teams is likely to be tied, and it will be decided by penalty kicks. In the end, Germany, which is good at penalty kicks, will win. In the last World Cup/KOOC-0/4 final, Argentina and Germany fought/KOOC-0/20 minutes/KOOC-0/0/draw, and Germany eliminated Argentina in the penalty shootout.

Octopus Paul-prediction method

Paul Octopus predicted that Germany would beat England in the eighth knockout stage.

1, the marine librarian put the shells with the German and Arab flags in the glass jar, which was different from the shell with the German flag before the match against England. The octopus "Paul" was hesitant about the confrontation between Germany and Argentina, and "considered for an hour" but finally took out the shell with the German flag.

2. Paul kept staring at the glass jar with the German flag. It was not until we saw that we were going to take both glass jars away that he finally jumped into the glass jar with the German flag shell, took it away and swallowed the mussel. A spokesman for the aquarium said that all these actions showed that Saturday's game would be a very hard one, and it might be overtime and pass through penalty shoot-out. But in the end, Germany won.

3. Although the octopus "Paul" currently lives in Germany, the spokesman said that there is no need to worry that it will favor its current country. Because it was born in Britain, it is a descendant of many generations of immigrants, and its ancestors may even come from Argentina.
