Andres Iniesta congratulates Paul the ‘Psychic’ Octopus on his popularity
Posted: July 12, 2010 in NewsAndres Iniesta has joked about the popularity of Paul the ‘Psychic’ Octopus after helping Spain overcome the Netherlands in the World Cup final.
The midfielder’s late extra-time winner for Spain sunk a sorrowful Dutch team who had a few significant chances to win the match.
The Barcelona star struck with a fine volley deep into the additional half hour to crown Spain as World champions for the first time.
It’s currently unknown whether British-born Paul knew that the winner would not come in the regulation 90 minutes, but if he did he certainly kept quiet about it.
Nevertheless, the Octopus corrected his previous European Championship final mistake by predicting Spain to win this time around to complete a perfect eight out of eight record for the World Cup.
After the game, Iniesta commented on Foxsports: “The Octopus will now be very popular in Spain.”
Paul predicted the only losses of the tournament for both Holland and Germany. His most impressive prediction was arguably his correct call that Serbia would defeat the Germans in the group stages.
Paul’s growing fanbase will be hoping that he is still fed properly now the World Cup is over and could be starting to wonder whether he is any good when it comes to club football.

It’s happened to all of us. The night starts off innocently enough with a little gin and tonic, maybe a mojito, then next thing you know you’re doing tequila shots with the bartender and the girl from Brazil and you find yourself thinking it would be a treMENdous idea to call up your ex and see how they’re doing and perhaps impress them with your newfound wit.
We’ve got the cure. Now, instead of drunk dialing random friends, lovers, and acquaintances one at a time, what if you could dial your blog and talk to the whole world at once? It’d be like something out of Star Trek.
The future is now, folks. You can now go to your My Blogs tab, enable Post by Voice, and get a special number and code to call your blog. After you’re done, the audio file from your phone call will be posted to your blog for all to listen to and enjoy. (And added to your RSS feed for podcast support.)
So now you can post to your WordPress via the web, email, iPhone, Android, Blackberry, desktop clients, and now any telephone in the world. Of course when you post it can be pushed to Facebook, Twitter, and more using the Publicize feature. What more could you want?
Right now this is completely free, but we’ll charge you money to take down posts. Just kidding! We’re making it free and allowing recording lengths up to sixty minutes, but that limit may go down without a paid upgrade in the future. Mostly we’re just curious to see how people use this.
I have a few ideas myself, but to find out you’ll have to listen to this voice post:
