Summary :

            In this article the author reviewed what Paul the octopus did during last World Cup tournament in soccer . The octopus who is supposed to be from Germany guessed the winner from the all World Cup's matches but what is strange is that all his guesses were right and every team he picked to win in the matches won. From that he became famous and earned many fans and in the same time he earned many haters. In the final match in the cup he picked Spain to win the title over Germany and Spain really won in the final and won the cup . After that some people in Spain tried to bring him to the country because they think he's part of the championship. But the owner of the octopus refused and said that he'll stay in Germany and will retire guessing .


Reaction :

          I think what Paul did is amazing or more than that. How can an animal guess right every time and never make a mistake !. People all over the world made a big reaction for what he did . What is ridiculous is that there were some coaches who said that Paul was the reason which made them lose and one of those coaches is Maradona. Spanish prime minister's reaction was good and made me laugh even though he couldn't do what he wanted. At the end I want to add one more point in this article and it's : unfortunately, the octopus died last week.
