Whole world is going gaga over Paul,the psychic Octopus. When the FIFA World Cup began, so did the journey of Paul towards becoming an icon. He has more than fulfilled his prophecy as he has been predicting the results with pin point accuracy.
Football fans across the world are mesmerized by Paul, the tentacled marvel. No other animal has evoked mass hysteria like Paul has. He has already become the darling of the masses especially the Spanish speaking populace.
Getting the prediction right once may be considered a fluke by the most. But getting it right for almost 5 consecutive times is a gift even though logic defies the claim. If you have ever heard of sixth sense, this must be it.
No, I am not referring to Manoj Shyamalan and Bruce Willis starrer, 'Sixth Sense'. But you cannot help but marvel at this eight tentacled Oracle Octopus called Paul.
He has taken the world by storm. Today, his popularity can even rival some of the star footballers who failed to live up to their reputations and expectations from their dejected fans.
If his predictions of the grand finale comes true, then, Paul will be immortalized as the greatest animal psychic reader of all time. So much so that he will be hailed as the Nostradamus of the animal kingdom. His popularity has soared as he has captivated the imagination of the entire world with his accurate gift of prediction.
I will rejoice and celebrate with the Spanish fans as Spain happens to be one of my most favourite European nations.
Now getting back to the grand finale, Paul has clearly declared SPAIN as the victor of the final against the flying Dutch. Whole of Spain will rejoice at his prediction and will become a toast of their entire nation.
When Germany lost, some frustrated German fans vowed to eat Paul and would relish every morsel of him. It was stated in the press by the Spanish officials that they will offer protection to the revered Paul, the eight tentacled Oracle Octopus from those who are baying for his blood.
If paul gets it right inadvertently on the midnight of Sunday, then he will cement his legacy as the 'Psychic Reader who always got it right'.
My mind says Spain and amazingly, my heart says Spain in unison.
This year, a champion tennis player who answers to the call of 'Rafa' aka Rafael Nadal, has won his second prestigious Wimbledon title. Congratulations to Spanish matador, Rafael Nadal!!
More importantly, When he won his maiden Wimbledon title, Spain went on to win their first ever major world tournament, European Championship in 2008. This year, Rafael Nadal went on to win his second Wimbledon title. Signs are ominous that Spain will seal their most famous victory in the 2010 FIFA World Cup grand finale and end their title drought.
What better motivation than having Mallorcan muscleman, Rafael Nadal cheering on the Spanish Football team tomorrow midnight just like he decimates his opponent. This year promises to be the 'Year of Spain in sports'.
