Why doesn't every sport have an octopus?

So apparently, in an aquarium in Germany somewhere there's an octopus named Paul who has correctly predicted the outcome of every match Germany's been in so far.

Today, it predicted that Spain would win the Spain/Germany match, much to Germans' disappointment.

As a result, one fan in the German stands is holding up a sign that says "Even octopus can be wrong."

This sport is amazing.

I fucking love the World Cup and everything it brings with it.

I didn't watch it the last time it came around and I'm kicking myself for it. It's so much fun and the sense of celebration that everyone gets from it is just infectious.
