Paul the octopus has been a very important player in this year's FIFA World Cup.
Promoted from his usual job as oracle for just Germany's soccer team, Paul has made predictions on games between other countries in the final rounds of the World Cup.
The sightly sea creature has two clear boxes lowered into his tank before the match, one team's flag on the outside of each box. The boxes contain the same amount of food and whichever Paul decides to open and eat from is the team he picks to win.
Paul correctly predicted Germany's destiny in the first six matches of the World Cup and has chosen Germany to win today's match. He has maintained a perfect record in predicting World Cup matches.
Talk of death threats and dirty money have occurred but Paul is not fazed, probably because he is an octopus.
Wondering who will win the cup, the phrase "Only time will tell" has now become, "Only time and Paul the octopus will tell."
Rumors of a clothing line and record deal for Paul the octopus have surfaced but none can be confirmed.
Staying true to his training in romance languages, Paul has chosen Spain to win the cup.
