Spain Won. Goddamn Octopus Right Again

add this to pointless superpower #562l

It's not too odd that an animal could 'predict' something with a 50/50 chance a few times.

 

[BGH122]

And I'm guessing quite a few similar wacky experiments at predicting the score failed. This is just confirmation bias.

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.

You got my vote for that as well, I'm also sure that's it's a spawn of great Cthulhu too. All hail Paul and death to his foes!

it was

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.

It was made in ENGLAND and WE CALL IT FOOTBALL. get over it.

It was kind of obvious that Spain would win, given that they were the better team (having beaten Germany, who I thought should have won the World Cup in my opinion).

Though to be honest, the match was kinda dull... I fell asleep midway through the second half and woke up at the end because nothing was happening (and it was 5 in the morning).

1. It's Soccer, not football.

Nope. It's football, son. You'd know that if you knew what FIFA stood for.

Hell yeah!!! Whenever I open up the monastary in the middle of the Atlantic to honor his watery birth, I shall make you one the high priests. You could even be in charge of sacrifices to the almighty one.

its the nostradamus of octopi, octrodamus!

 

[ydkwidrmw]

The reason Americans care so much about the football/soccer debate is because nobody else cares about the sport they call 'football'

Also I think paul had lots of clams riding on a Spanish win

Silly Puerto Rican man! It's not "soccer", that's just what the Yanks and most of Asia call it.

http://g.sports.yahoo.com/soccer/world-cup/news/its-football-to-you-soccer-to-me--fbintl_ro-soccervsfootball070110.html I found this article here rather interesting, take a look

Regardless, soccer is the wrong word. Therefore, as Americans call the game "soccer", they are wrong.

And I'm right, dammit. You play the game with your feet, not your socks!

Of course Spain was going to win. Big surprise, the octopus chooses the most likely outcome.

You don't find it surprising that the octopus KNOWS that's the most likely outcome?...

Anyway I don't think the Dutch will have won themselves a lot of fans today, even if I was neutral (I wasn't, Spain FTW), play like this:

is pretty discouraging to say the least...

Of course it does. Spain are on of the top countries in the world.

Pretty sure that octopus has some sort of genetic relation to Cthulhu or something.

snip double post :/

Yeah...I kinda wanted Germany to win out of the top 4...but oh well. Spain vs. Holland: well they both did equally amount of "fishy" things, so I would presume that counts for something there. The ref seems to be handing out yellows in a rapidfire manner near the end of the game too. It's like every time something happens, it's a yellow.

He's actually pretty well known for doing exactly the same thing in the premiership, I always thought he had a habit of giving out yellows for pretty much everything, but never wanting to give a red card, and he just pretty much confirmed that in this game (although in fairness it WAS a violent enough game to warrant a fair few yellows in the first place).

Pretty much my thoughts. It could easily be argued that the corner that never was cost the Netherlands - ridiculous decision from a referee that had done very well until that point. At the end of the day it was still Netherlands own fault for conceding such a poor goal.

To be honest, what the fuck was the referee playing at with De Jong's tackle?

He fucking booted him in the chest, that's a straight red.

 

[Bernzz]

I should make a bet on its next prediction...

Edit: Oh, I should read more carefully. That's the end of the World Cup then? Does that...does that mean the vuvuzelas will stop soon...?

They...they never stop...

OT: The World Cup is over? So...we won't have to hear about it again for the next 4 years? Thank fuck. Also, give that octopus an octocookie.

oic. yeah I agree with some of the yellows, but about half the yellows shouldn't have been called though. Makes sense, if at least he's consistent with everything else he does.
