Re: Are you smarter than Paul the Octopus?

For the record I think Spain are going to win 2:1, but in all honestly its difficult to call.

It's great to know that whoever wins will be a first time world cup winner - so great for world football!

If Spain wins the World Cup, Switzerland can brag they were the only team that could beat them.

Re: Are you smarter than Paul the Octopus?

If spain win, then New Zealand can rightly claim to be the only team to remain unbeaten at this world cup.....

I think the only thing the Swiss nati were robbed of is the ability to attack
