Though this might sound a little unusual for your average sports fan, Germany has been taken by surprise by their favorite psychic Octopus.

According to his own, Oliver Walenciak who spoke to the BBC, Paul the Octopus started to predict Germany’s games in Euro 2008 where he only got one wrong.

Paul the Octopus has also been 100% write so far as he has correctly predicted all of Germany’s games at the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa.

Tuesday’s prediction by the psychic Octopus was taken so seriously by the Germans that two television networks even cut their ongoing programs to show the results.

How it works
Two containers carrying the flags of the two teams are placed into the tank which Paul is in and the octopus just picks one.

The box which is picked is considered to be the team which will win the upcoming game.
