Spain won, and “Pulpo Paul” found a place in the hearts of the country's people.TV channels around the world provided live coverage of his forecasts in June and July, made by choosing a tasty mollusc from two glass boxes lowered into his tank. Each glass box was marked with the flag of a soccer team and the one he opened first was his choice of winner.</blockquote>
