It even predicted correctly a win by Spain over the Netherlands during the World Cup Finals match. This made the Spaniards to even request for them to have Paul the Octopus transferred in Spain.

I must say that the news came a bit of a shock as I’ve been fond of Paul. It will surely be remembered.
Btw, the next World Cup won’t happen until 2014, not 2011.

Paul made me come back again and again to check out the World Cup. E ano ba naman ang alam ko sa coccer – offside nga di ko maintindihan. So this news made me sad. It’s good they said he died of natural cause. Otherwise, I’d suspect foul play. LOL

Sorry for that, oo nga pala, 2014, wahhaha!
By that time siguro may bago ng sage from the animal world…
Actually bro, when I first told Apple of this news ang sabi nya agad sa akin eh sino raw ang pumatay or nag-sabotage, ehehehe!
Unless some people are not so convinced of Paul dying a natural death, maybe the people from CSI should step in the picture, ehehehe!
