*UPDATED: ACTUAL PICTURE AND VIDEO OF PAUL THE OCTOPUS CHOOSING THE WINNING COUNTRY*

With the current era where information is vital and ever flowing because of the internet, FIFA the governing body for football has decided to release tactic sheets used by certain countries during their campaign in the ongoing World Cup 2010 in South Africa.

These seven sheets are to be the teasers of what is to come in the near future.

With power countries which were expected to go far in this competition but failed miserably, one particular country has been under the spotlight from the beginning for having the youngest team in World Cup. Youngest in terms of average age and that is Germany.

Besides their effective and precise counter attacks, one sea creature has been making the headlines as well for making 100% accurate prediction on the result of games that involved the Germany team. This sea creature is none other then Paul the Octopus.

Flags in a plastic container will be placed in his aquarium with food in it. Paul then chooses which container he would wanna be at, thus showing which country to win. Even when Germany lost in the group stages, Paul was spot on.

So what did he show for the upcoming game, Germany VS Spain ?

Unfortunately, this is a fake picture which has been spreading like wild fire on the net. I will be updating with the REAL prediction along with picture of Paul the Octopus and also the REAL VIDEO. Germany VS Spain is on Wednesday, so i am assuming Paul the Octopus would do a prediction by Tuesday.

Who do you think would win? Germany? Spain?

My gut feeling says Germany could just end up lifting the cup!
