Paul, the octopus oracle who has correctly predicted the outcome of every World Cup match played by Germany, is branching out and will be allowed to make a pick on the final between Spain and the Netherlands.

The Oberhausen Sea Life Aquarium confirmed Thursday that Paul will cast his suction-cupped arms wider in his next prognostication and for the first time pick a game in which his home country is not involved.

Aquarium spokeswoman Tanja Munzig says the floppy football fan will make his choice on the Germany v Uruguay match Friday morning, then pick the winner of Sunday's final between Spain and Holland in Johannesburg.
