Crocodile predicts Spain to win FIFA World Cup

Sydney: Harry, a 700-kg crocodile living in Darwin crocodile park today backed Paul the octopus in picking Spain to win the World Cup.
The crocodile took less than a minute to decide and launch itself out of the water to eat a chicken dangling under a Spanish flag rather than one hanging from a Dutch flag.
Mick Burns, owner of Crocosaurus Cove, told the Northern Territory News he got the idea from watching Paul, an octopus in Germany that has successfully picked the result of every German game in the World Cup.
Paul also predicted Spain to beat the Netherlands in Sunday's final.
But Harry's betting style is different. The crocodile thrashed around for some time to wrest the chicken from the line bearing the Spanish flag.
"That means it's going to be a close and aggressive game with a 1-0 result for Spain," Burns said.

4: Its really a rubbish, fully bakwas and
annoying news, actually no one can predict
anything 100% accurately.So it is rubbish.
The prediction made by Oracle Octopus is also
rubbish, simply because it cann't predict
100% accurately. The prediction that Germany
will never loose in Euro Cup explains its
truth. Futhermore such prediction is a good
venture for some people to earn their
livelihood.

20: I can imagine the fate of crocs and octopuses
once the final is done!
The losers (no matter who!) are going to make a meal out of them. Even worse if the Dutch win - then both countries will make a meal out of them - the Spanish for the wrong prediction and the Dutch for the grief they caused with those predictions!

fried better under the spanish sun. We (Dutch
guy here) usually get way less sun then
Spain, and who doesnt prefer a well done
chicken over a raw one ^^..
It also means that we're gonna eat those spanish chickens ^^
