Paul, an octopus in a German zoo who predicts the national side’s football results, maintained his 100 per cent accuracy rate at this World Cup by foreseeing the team’s downfall at the hands of Spain.

In the second game, Paul decided on a change and treated himself to the contents of the box marked with the flag of Croatia. Later that evening, Croatia recorded a 2-1 victory against their German counterparts. People began to take notice.

Paul went on to successfully predict five out of the six German results during the tournament and became a national treasure. The only result he got wrong? He plumped for his adopted homeland to beat Spain in the final. Fernando Torres proved him wrong.

Two years on, the prediction machine is at it again. Paul has now impressively correctly picked the winner in all five of Germany’s games in the World Cup so far, including the unexpected loss to Serbia.

In the second round, despite hailing from Weymouth, Paul backed Germany to beat England in the last 16. Irritatingly he was proved right. That’s right, even an octopus foresaw our demise.
