PSYCHICS: Paul the Octopus still the best

Paul the Octopus' (RIP) overall record of 11 out of 13 correct predictions looks like it will stand for many years to come. Paul's successors have fared badly so far at this tournament. Probably it is down to tactical geniuses like Louis Van Gaal, Jorge Pinto (Costa Rica) or just plain sabotage by such teams as Cameroon or Ghana who would not play without wads of dollars waved at them. The star attraction animal psychics around the globe are; Big Head, the Brazilian sea turtle, Swiss guinea pig Madame Shiva and Thai albino hedgehog 'Little'.
