All the way through Germany, we were listening to different German radio stations. On that certain day, each and every radio station had just one topic that needed to be discussed. In the morning the comments on the various radios were still a little sad. But as the day continued, the comments of the people on the different radio stations became more and more optimistic again. And almost all listeners who were calling in to the different radio shows agreed that it would at least be better to finish the tournament with winning the game for the third place than with loosing the game for the first place...
But the most important topic throughout all the different radio stations of course, was if Paul the Octopus had been 'forecasting' the outcome of the play or if he had been 'predicting' the outcome of the play. It is two weeks now after the final game of the tournament and Paul the Octopus surely is one of the winners of the event. Just today I read an article about his popularity in fortune telling China. On the other hand, there was another article which was raising the topic if the outcome of certain games had been determined in China...
Which has kept me wondering now for some time already, how it is possible to determine the outcome of a soccer game before the actual game is being played? I know that it is happening more often, but I keep on wondering how...
