The German “Oracle Octypus” named Paul is at it again, having predicted Sunday’s World Cup final match will be won by …

Spain!

Take heed, as Paul’s World Cup picks have yet to be wrong.

Journalists from the world over watched earlier today as Paul, a resident of the Oberhausen Sea Life aquarium, floated down onto a tank marked with a Spanish flag, grabbing and devouring a mussel to solifiy his pick. He ignored the Dutch tank.

Paul has previously correctly called all of Germany’s games, including its wins over Argentia, England, Australia and Ghana, as well as its loss to Spain and Serbia. The final match was the first time the octopus was asked to call a game in which Germany is not playing.

Paul’s fame is growing, according to an Associated Press article. He even has a Facebook page, which 26,369 people “like.”
