Spain.

Alright I'm going to go and see this psychic octopus and get him to pick the lotto numbers

I dont think that Octopus dropped a game for the whole finals campaign.
Unlike that Parrot who got every game but the final right...

They said the octopus only tipped the Germany games & the final, 8 all up
Not sure what other ones the Parrot tipped

The parrot picked the Netherlands. I guess that bird's now KFP.

Paul the psychic octopus headed for sweet life of retirement

AFP reported one tongue-in-cheek bookmaker offered odds of 8-1 that he becomes a bookmaker himself, 20-1 that he releases a record, 100-1 that Paul unveils his own brand of calamari, 250-1 the octopus becomes Merkel's (German Chancellor) new adviser and 1,000-1 he ends life as part of a paella.

Pity he's only got a lifespan of about 6 months.

If I owned Paul I'd stick a thousand on the paella option and then cook him myself

Off to see Robbie Fowler's debut tomorrow night for the Glory.

As much as I don't like him, he's one of the most natural strikers to have played the game.

i saw him last year (against SFC) whilst in a loosing team (5-0) i think he still was one of the smoothest players i have seen or played against its a shame his team mates couldnt keep up... worth going to see him play

Well, Hearts off to a losing start. But there's no shame in that really - they were outhussled by the experts in forcing opponents into disjointed play.

They'll beat better teams than Central Coast once they gel.

Fowler's a class act even at his age - he's certainly capable of shining in the A-League. A fine pick up for Perth.

Well I'm lucky to still have a TV after that lose to the bunnies last night
