...The German octopus goes 8 for 8....
Italian octopus. His trainer says she caught him off Elba, making Paul, “Paolo”... a Tuscan octopus. In Italy this was the only bright spot in the whole mundial. The Italian team (champions of 2006) gave their worst performance in history. Capelli, the English team coach got trounced by the Germans, Rosetti the ref got sent home in disgrace for missing an off-sides bigger than Liechtenstein and on and on (Muslera who plays goalie for Rome’s Lazio team deserved to be tarred and feathered and the Brazilian player who was the culprit for their loss against Holland plays for Juventus. Everything bad for Italy this year... but then the news came in that Paul the Octopus is really “il Polipo Paolo” and that’s all it took to make the country happy again: we have a prognosticating cepholopod (this is important in the grand scheme of things).
