GLOBE AND MAIL/ "Paul" is a German octopus turned into a celebrity by going 4 for 4 after predicting that Germany would beat Australia, would be defeated by Serbia, would beat Ghana, and would defeat England. Now, Paul predicts DEFEAT for powerhouse Argentina. His predictions occur when Paul selects from two containers of his favorite clam meat inserted into the tank where he lives. Each container has a flag on it.
Elsewhere, AFP reports Germany midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger is criticizing Argentine team behavior. "I find that the behavior of the Argentinians on the pitch, how they gesticulate and how they try to influence the referee, is disrespectful." Schweinsteiger's team beat Argentina 4-2 on penalties in the quarter-finals of the 2006 World Cup.
