England got robbed :b
Second goal was valid, and would change the course of the game.
 
Yeah the FIFA refs have been f*cking up pretty intensely as of late. They need to start employing insta-replay boxes or something like in American Football.

Case and point: Ireland vs France in their qualifying match pre-world cup.

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO PUYOL FTW!!!!!!!!!!!! VAMOS ESPANA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SPAIN FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE DUTCH ARE GOING DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

....[ahem], I'm happy that Spain won. Hopefully they'll beat the dutch in the finals, though I'm sure it'll be an exciting game regardless.
 
Paul the octopus has correctly predicted the winner of all of Germany's matches by choosing between two boxes with the flag of Germany and the flag of its opponent. The chances of this happening by random are extremely low. He has predicted a Spanish victory in the final against the Netherlands.

I have a theory that he just likes the colours red and yellow and has picked the flag with the largest amount of those colours in every case. Germany have more red and yellow in their flag than any country in the matches except Spain, which has more. Spain was the only team to beat Germany and Paul predicted this correctly. Spain, of course, have more red and yellow in their flag than the Netherlands, so that might be why he picked them as winners for the final.

Of course, this theory will fly out of the window as soon as someone tells me that Octopuses can't see colours ;D
 
Certain species of octopus are able to see colors.  Others cannot.

Even if the octopus is not attracted by certain colors, that random chance of him getting it right every time is still there.

Finally something that makes sense. My best theory so far had been that it was a human from the future that managed to travel back in time but was trapped in the body of an octopus (something like in The Fly, except much worse).
I like your theory a whole lot more.
