Hail King Paul!

Assalamualaikum and Greetings

Curtains: 2010 World Cup Finals

By God's will, you are the undisputed 'No. 1 Fauna' in this particular field of prediction. At least as far as the 2010 World Cup Finals is concern! After the final whistle in the match between Spain and Holland this morning Paul showed that he is no ordinary octopus. 8 out of 8. That's no easy task. Congratulations!

And , congrats too to the Spanish squad for living up to Paul's prediction! The Spaniards 1 - 0 win over the Dutch squad was well-deserved. First time finalist and champion to boot. They played their hearts out. They were worthy winners. Sorry to the Netherlands. Better luck next time after being third time unlucky!

That's the 2010 World Cup fever over. It will soon be 'quiet' and that will last for quite a while. Most of us will miss the excitement that prevails over the last one month. We will have to wait another four years to perhaps experience another sensation such as this. So till we meet again at football crazy nation Brazil in 2014 . . . . . once more Viva Espana and Long Live King Paul.

And to the rest of the contenders for the prediction crown . . . the parakeets, the crocs, the chimpanzees . . . the what not, wherever they may originate from . . . I only have this to comment . . . Try some other field! One Paul is enough!
