The day all football fans have been dreading is here, the day after the World Cup Final. Now we have to wait another 4 years until the next World Cup that is going to be held in 2014 in Brazil.

As we have reached the final of the 2010 World Cup and Paul the Octopus still has a clean track record of predicting Germany’s matches the well known octopus reached a new level of fame this week as he got his own page on Wikipedia.

By now it’s old news that Paul the psychic Octopus picked Spain to win the semi final against Germany. But could this be the first time during the 2010 World Cup that the mighty octopus is wrong? We sure think so!

The hype surrounding “Paul the Octopus” reached a whole new level on Sunday as some less reliable bloggers released fake pictures showing Paul predicting a Spain win over Germany in the semi final.

The octopus that is prediction the World Cup games for Germany has become something of a worldwide celebrity. Apparently he was right in 80% of the games in the 2006 World Cup and so far he has picked the right winner in all of Germany’s matches in the 2010 World Cup.

After going a goal down early thanks to some less than strategic defense, the Netherlands were able to score 2 unanswered goals in order to upset the number 1 ranked team in the World; Brazil.

It seems that whenever a team has performed badly in the World Cup, it is all ways the coach’s fault. I think that at some point the blame has to be dished out on the players as well.

It feels like the opening game of the 2010 World Cup was yesterday but we have really come a long was since then.

It’s no secret the two football teams don’t really like each other, but Germany and Argentina definitely respect each other when they meet on the pitch.

At a first glance you might not think it’s worth placing a World Cup bet on tonight’s match between Brazil and Chile due to the fact that Brazil are huge favorites to win and the payoff wouldn’t be good enough.
