Apparently, an octopus (with an allegedly good record in these matters) has predicted that Germany will knock England out of the World Cup. Anyone out there got their own psychic animal who predicts otherwise?? http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/10420131.stm

If only the psychic Octopus could play, it would have been a handy player with all it's eight foot. But I guess that it's psychic powers should be left for Octopus Football and not for soccer. I think England will pip Germany if the game gets over in normal time. If it goes to penalties then England will again choke!! Cheers! Ram

Yes, penalties do seem to spell defeat dont they? Maybe they could get the octopus to spread himself across the front of the net??

Well unless the psychic octopus is going to use his eight legs to help us I'm very much afraid he might be wrong!!

Wizzywig, This has got to be the most hilarious prediction I have ever come across. But, if I am not wrong its last prediction for 2008 European Championship ended with the Germans being runner's up. I don't know how its owner could deduce that outcome but I am going to interpret it as Germany is finished as our psychic has indicated that the Germans will come off empty like that box back there. I am not sure about my next prediction which is for the two-year-old cephalopod but I believe he will end up on a plate as calamari if Germans came off otherwise.

I daresay that's how he'll end up irrespective of the outcome of the match....which makes your predictions more accurate than his

I wanted your country to win the world cup too... I had bet £2 that they would England didnt deserve to win the match... even tho' that Lampard goal WAS over the line.
