Spain Won. Goddamn Octopus Right Again

[Aerodynamic]

All I have to say is....

DAT OCTOPUS.

 

[hudsonzero]

am i the only one thinking WHAT F****** OCTOPUS

 

[Charli]

FUCK THE OCTOPUS! NETHERLANDS SHOULD HAVE WON. NOT THE BUCKET OF GREASE THAT IS SPAIN. DIVING IS NOT FOOTBALL.

1. It's Soccer, not football.

Every person outside of the United States is going to start attempting to find out where you live and making plans to DES-TROY you down to your last living molecule I hope you realize.

No, it is football, We named it football first. Not your mutant padded rugby sport. Get over it.

 

[Redratson]

1. Saw it coming
2. Damn Octopus
and
3. Who loves seafood?

I hate to be sceptic, but an octopus predicted roughly 11% of the matches played in the world cup. As arbitrary luck would have it, he got them right. Now if he predicted ALL of the world cup results correct, I would be less sceptic.

As far as I see, I could of predicted these with a coinflip and get the same rate of success.

The only reason Spain got that goal was because the stupid, stupid refs gave them a goal kick after the Netherlands had that free kick and the ball was CLEARLY deflected away by one of the Spanish defenders. It should have been a corner kick. Seriously, this game was a damn joke in terms of the referees. Not that it should be any surprise, FIFA gets off on game winning/losing calls.

FUCK THE OCTOPUS! NETHERLANDS SHOULD HAVE WON. NOT THE BUCKET OF GREASE THAT IS SPAIN. DIVING IS NOT FOOTBALL.

1. It's Soccer, not football.

2. Soccer is 60% diving. To participate in a soccer team you need a Bachelor's in Theater.

3. The other 40% of the game is divided between passing the ball, kicking at nowhere in particular and doing the airplane.

I wanted the Netherlands to win. Oh, well, can't have everything you want, I suppose.

Well actually, it's football. Thats the name the majority of the world seems to know it as, and it dates back much later than any other sport which you may refer to as football. Theres a game called cuju which football resembles from china, about the period of 476-221 BC according to wiki. So no, it isn't soccer at all.

Yes there is a ridiculous amount of diving and cheating. But until they bite the bullet and get a video ref, no one can complain about the calls the officials make. The technology is there and is widely used and alot of stadiums (if not all) are equipped wit the technology to do it.

Back on topic, I was hoping the netherlands won. I don't really watch it and certainly haven't followed it but never mind. I fell asleep and work up 30minutes into extra time, couldn't even recall what i was watching until the commentator said. Does this put me in the hail octopus crowd as thats he onlyone i havent excluded myself from?

 

[v3n0mat3]

Eeeh. Didn't want Spain to win honestly.

 

[Femaref]

I think Holland should of won but man that was a good game. The ref had some bad calls. What was up the Heitinga card?

tactical foul = yellow card. he already had a yellow, so it was 2 yellow = yellow-red = off the field.

 

[k3v1n]

as a German friend of mine said: yes, yes you might have won the world cup, but your economy is still shit, wise words you sausage-eating bastard.

 

[somekindarobot]

Dude, Paul ain't psychic, that's what They want you to think. Who are They? Why none other that the MOLLUSK MAFIA! See, Pauly boy's just a little pawn in their bookie and game fixing schemes, see, get the public interest in betting on football again, nyah. They're so underground nobody's heard of them so it's time to set the facts strai- wait, who are you, what are you OH GO-

Heh heh, just joshing around, folks. There ain't no mollusk mafia, and any no good wiseguy who says different's gonna get eight helpings of tentacle dusterrrr I mean a well reasoned rebuttal.

(Psst, if ya's interested in making some cash, go to the back of the Baltimore National Aquarium. Say Al Abalone sent ya.)

 

[Freshman]

Well it certainly makes the case that the octopus is psychic much more plausible. its certainly got me off the "yea right, psychic my ass" bench and onto the "well their are SOME things we just can't explain" bench

 

[supagama]

i wanted the netherlands to win. almost as mutch as i now want that octopuss

 

[Escapefromwhatever]

The first thing I thought when I learned that Spain won the World Cup was "FUCKING OCTOPUS!!!" That thing is a demon and must be killed with fire- whilst still underwater.

 

[SirDeadly]

The Netherlands didn't deserve to win that game, they had no intention of playing to win right from the start. Well done Spain!

How do we know that octopus didn't get all of the games wrong? It could have predicted all of the loosing teams.

 

[Gaderael]

Being Canadian and having no team of my own to cheer for (C'mon Rugby World Cup 2011), it went pretty much like this:

Once France, Brazil, England, and the US were eliminated, I didn't mind who won, as I was already happy with the tournament.

I was then pushing for the Germans, as they were pretty fun to watch this year. Then I wanted the Netherlands to win, being the underdogs and all, but what can you do?

[Disaster Button]

Well, that's...interesting?

I'll await the result on how exactly it can do this amazing feat. I imagine it'll be underwhelming.

Funnily enough, I had no idea the World Cup was on today.

I thought it ended weeks ago.

Regarding the octopus, we should transplant its brain into a robot and let it govern us.

 

[black-magic]

I was originally going to say let it live so it could be the new Nostradamus however, it was pointed out to me I could eat it and gain its powers.

 

[TheTurtleMan]

This octupus is clearly a spawn of cthulhu which can see into the future. I vote we form a cult centered around it as a god.
