Not world cup, it is battle of Paul & Mani.

Paul, from Germany, and Mani, from Singapore; both become famous because of the World Cup in South Africa. By the way, they are not even players in the world cup, they did not score any goal in the world cup, yet they become famous because of the world cup. Germany did played in the world cup, but Singapore is not playing.

Paul is an Octopus from Germany, and Mani is a Parakeet from Singapore. There is no football match between the two in animal kingdom. They are famous because of human football world cup. Paul the Oracle Octopus has continued with his charlatan ways and picked winners of both the third-place match and the World Cup final. Given Paul's perfect record in picking his food out of the box covered with the flag of the team that goes on to win the World Cup match, these choices have now reached gospel status. Television networks in Germany, Spain and the Netherlands interrupted their programming to broadcast their octopus overlord's decisions live on Friday. And then they waited, eager and nervous. For an octopus to eat a piece of food. The Octopus picked Germany for 3rd placing, and picked Spain to win the world cup.



Mani the Parakeet, is also predicted accurately the football match results so far. The owner is very happy, as business is becoming better. Mani bring money to the owner, Mani become money. Mani creeping out of his small wooden cage and choosing between two white cards -- one hiding a Dutch flag, the other Spanish -- the bird predicted the Oranje to triumph in Soccer City. Mani dared to challenge the Psychic Paul by picking Holland to win Sunday's final.



Now, there is conflict between Octopus Paul of Germany and Mani the Parakeet from Singapore. Not Spain and Holland...

The world cup is the top football event, it is sport; the best team will win. But sad to say, the healthy sport has become another dirty sport, betting. There are accusation matches are fixed, empire are biased, wrong decision.....no more sporting spirit, no more football skills. Behind the football matches there are sport money or betting money moving around, legal and illegal. A football economy.....

And some will go broke after the world cup....

The poor state of global football games created a market for the betting money, an international market, a football market for professional clubs, professional players, sport wears, advertisement, gaming, sport equipment.....

It is not time to loose money, to loose business, to loose sponsorship, and to loose a bet...

Everyone searching for a psychological boost for the games in the football economy, playing the games in football market. Especially at World Cup.... The market want a prediction, it is Paul and Mani, to play the role. The betting monies behind the prediction will be substantial. It is prediction and money game.

No more clean football, no more clean sport....

Now it is the animal games, the economy need a market forecast, a prediction for the future and result of the game.

Poor animal, I wonder why there is no animal right activists making protests and noises during the world cup....

The games is now between Paul and Mani; Not Holland and Spain...

No matter which team win the final of the FIFA World Cup. Holland or Spain, it does not matter. What is the fate of Paul the Octopus and Mani the Parakeet after the World Cup? and what is the future of football after FIFA South Africa World Cup?....

Save the animals! , Save the sport!, and Save football....

The return of Clean sport, clean football??????........
