Octopus Paul retires from football

No more World Cup, no more octopus oracle.

Paul, the octopus who became a pop culture sensation by correctly predicting the outcome of as many World Cup matches as he has legs - all seven of Germany's games plus the Spain-Netherlands final - is going to retire.

The Sea Life Oberhausen aquarium's spokeswoman Tanja Munzig said the intuitive invertebrate will 'go into retirement and do what he likes to do best: play with his handlers and delight children who come visit to him'.

  1. that's the best thing to be done for Paul, let Paul leave with a good reputation instead of involving him into politics predictions or other events (something he hasn't a background about :D)and make him the mistaken octopus :D

    that would disappointed his fans and reduce his visitors so, reducing the aquarium profits :D

    those guys r thinking in the long run :D

    we'll M!$$ U Paul :$
