Paul the Octopus has made his prediction for the World Cup final and has selected Spain to lift the trophy in Johannesburg on Sunday evening. For anybody unfamiliar with 'Paul', he is a Common Octopus who lives at the Oberhausen Aquarium in Germnay and has become famous the World over for his Psychic ability to correctly predicti the outcomes of matches at the 2010 World Cup.
Used as an oracle to predict the outcome of Germany's World Cup matches, Paul the Octopus is six from six with his predictions so far during the tournament. His tips are determined by two clear boxes being placed in his tank, each displaying the flag of the two countries involved in the game and both containing a mussel or an oyster, his favourite food! Whichever box he decides to eat the contents of is the selection to be the winning team in the chosen match.

Rupert Adams, spokesman for William Hill said that the firm has seen a huge demand in punters wanting to back Paul the Octopus' tips and added "a £10 bet on each of Paul's predictions and reinvested would have won over £1,450."
Whilst Germany aren't in Sunday's final, Paul still was given the opportunity to predict the winner of the World Cup at feeding time on Friday and picked his food out of the box containing the Spain flag. He also predicted the outcome of Saturday's third place play-off match between Germany and Uruguay and his tip for this match is final win of the World Cup for Germany!
