And Germany to take 3rd place! His results have ben scarily accurate though 
I think Paul is mostly just going to the box he is closest to, which is usually the box to the right (see videos and pictures - he selects right-hand box mostly). And he is attracted to the bright red/yellow colors of the German/Spanish flags.

Paul choose mostly the box on the right of the tv screen. Paul got 7 out 7 right so did it in 2008 but, back then he got one wrong, the final. Paul predicted Germany to beat Spain in the euro final 2008. Lets hope the History repeat it self. I have found out that Paul is Italian and left Italy after got involved with the match fixing 
becarefull.

Can't really understand why the game was underway, wasn't it all decided? Why bother?!

He was a true great; a polished professional who was really uncomfortable in the glare of the media spotlight especially when the heat warmed his tank too much.
Like so many greats before him; he was sadly taken before his time; they were waiting to give him cement tentacles at Grauman's Theatre, a stint on Jonathan Ross, as well as hosting Match of the Day. At least he would not be as wooden as Mark Lawrenson and would have some opinion!!.
His final appearance I'm led to believe will be as part of the Bush Tucker Challenge on I'm a Celebrity,............... Hoi Sin or Tempura batter? anyone

I'm not sure you will understand this one, but I'll take my chances:
It has been reported that germans are considering making him a statue. If this happened in Portugal we would be considering making him rice
