2010 Football World Cup will be remembered not for the hip shaking Shakria’s Waka Waka, nor would it remembered for the fallen gods- who let down their fans, no- it would not even be remembered for the Davids( the underdogs: Spain and Netherlands) defeating the mighty Goliath .
2010 World cup would be remembered for Nostradamus who came in the form of an octopus called Paul. Even comparing this eight legged creature to Nostradamus doesn’t do any justice- as some of his predictions went wrong. But not our Saint Paul which has 100% success rate..Germans and the rest of the world are madly in love with this creature. But things changed in Semi Finals! The Germans world cup dreams came crashing down when the delicious tasting thing choose Spain over Germany and worst, the prediction, indeed, came true! World still loves it but not the Germans who were understandably upset. Now, there are talks of killing it – a sort of revange – for betraying its country by picking Spain
It makes me wonder whether the world has taken leave of its common sense... come on kids it’s only a game... no need to show your brutality on this poor creature. WTF is the matter?? Take its predictions with a pinch of salt and forget about it...but unfortunately we, the highly evolved intelligent creatures can’t take anything lightly..not in this envirovement, where ever other minute News Channels shows “Breaking News”. So as we enter the last phase of the game, when Sapin takes on Netherlands in the grand finale, all I can do is pray for this poor creature.
Incidentally, Paul has picked Spain to win the finals against the Holland ...No big deal, I would have done the same!! But for once, I would really, really love to see Paul’s prediction go wrong.. not because I love the Dutch team..but just for once to see this creature as –well- just a creature and not as an infallible almighty.
May the beat team win the game!
