Octopus had an ink-ling and was right, again!

The eight-legged oracle has enjoyed a 100 percent prediction success rate for Germany's previous World Cup games.

Paul’s technique involves two plastic boxes, one with a German flag and one with that of the team’s opponent, being lowered into his tank.

Each contains a tasty morsel of food, and the box that Paul opens first is judged to be his predicted winner.

His latest prophecy, which was shown live on television, drew gasps from the crowd assembled at the Oberhausen Sea Life center in western Germany.

Paul tantalized his audience by lingering over Germany's box, but took just five minutes to plop down on Spain.
