Paul has selected GERMANY to beat URUGUAY in Saturday's game and SPAIN to beat HOLLAND on Sunday. PAUL THE Octopus is a 2 year old octopus with a history of correctly predicting a total rate of 11 out of 12 games constituting deviation from flipping coin to a Binomial test. As the Telegraph explains : Following the quarter-final prediction where Paul correctly guessed Argentina would lose to Germany the Argentineans threatened to kill the octopus and put it in a paella. The newspaper El Dia gave this recipe for anyone daring to capture Paul: "All you need is four normal potatoes, olive oil for taste and a little pepper." CHAMPIONSHIP GAME SCHED: Netherlands vs. Spain - 12 Jul 2:30am (Philippines Time)
