Spain will win the World Cup

The Dutch hope that the octopus Paul is mistaken this time

The octopus oracle predicts: Spain will win the World Cup and the Dutch don’t stand a chance. Germany will be placed third after a tough game against Uruguay.

Spain will win the soccer World Cup - the tentacle-oracle Paul leaves no doubt about that. In a matter of ( Read more... )

Thank you very much for the translations! It's interesting to see how close the words 'dream' and 'trauma' are in German. I once read that, oh heck, I'm going to remember this wrong, I know it ( ... )

You're welcome! It's not like I'm trying to force German upon you guys, but I just thought I might include a bit of it ( ... )

Ack! Sorry about being so slow on replying to stuff these past two days, I've been kind of blanking out and just. . . not getting around to anything. /shame ( ... )

Haha, no problem at all! In fact, that could be a symptom of being a writer, according to something I found on FF… in a way…: “If people start to notice that you tend to check your e-mail every day for a week, then suddenly disappear off the face of the planet.” And hey, look at me: I may have caught up with replying to PMs, but I haven’t gotten jacksh*t done for the next WIAW chapter or your b-day fic XD ( ... )

LOL, I heard about this! A psychic octopus...every time we think we've seen it all, ne? xD

devotedtodreams July 11 2010, 15:58:54 UTC

Exactly; every time we think we've seen it, we're proven wrong. I think it was my Mom who said she's actually hoping that Paul will not be right about the final game tonight, otherwise he might not get a moment of peace anymore because - and don't tell me this couldn't possibly happen - a bunch of people would be harassing him with questions... not just soccer questions... ;D

emanga July 11 2010, 16:24:14 UTC

LOL, and she's probably right. He'd become a real tourist attraction!
Who're you rooting for, then? (I haven't been following the WC at all, but it's always interesting to hear from people who have been. xD)

devotedtodreams July 11 2010, 18:17:54 UTC

Oh, I don't blame you for not following the WC - I mean, most of the games are really boring and end either 0:0 or 1:0 (in the group stage, at least), and technically I'm not into soccer at all, it's just in the last phases of these tournaments that I get caught up in it because it's... well, everywhere, and it's all everyone talks about. But I'm happy that this time, it turned out to be a quite interesting event ( ... )
