Viva Espana!

Glory
It's a painful win but finally Spain was hailed as the new Kings of The World for the first time ever. Thanks to a powerful shot by Iniesta, Spain clinched the win after 116 minutes of play. Paul was right again.
Misery
This glory could only mean misery to the other side. So close but yet so far. The Netherland's misery was obvious in the expression of their faces. Some were crying, some could only wonder when their wounds will heal. Why oh why Paul was right again?
A Shining Star
Kudos for the Spaniards. I could only wait for the Spanish team jersey with a star embroided on it to be put inside my jersey wardrobe. Paul oh Paul... you were right again.
The eight tentacles
All emotions aside, I gave a thought of Paul. His predictions were right. Eight out of eight since he came into the scene of World Cup. Because of the accuracy of his predictions, many start to believe that Paul can see the future. How ridiculous a human can be?
Paul was not an astrologer nor he was a football analyst. He is an octopus! An octopus!
Ridiculous
I was amazed at how people manage to ridicule themselves by giving too much attention to an octopus. Seems that they had forgotten their ability which made them better than other creatures. The intellect. Moreover, they had put themselves in a position more inferior than an octopus. A protection order for Paul? Come on... an octopus is below us in the chain of food!
Answer
There is only one answer to this ridiculessness. Gambling. Paul's prediction is very much related to this activity. Let's face it. Gambling is beneficial in a sense. It is also damaging in a sense. But, the damage is more than its benefit. People gamble, may win. May lose. But the addiction craves greed. Such craving is unstoppable. People just want to have more. One thing leads to another. Mounting debts started to choke them. Ah Long became their immediate answer. Those with family started to destroy the institution. When all solutions were exhausted, so as their mind. Final way to get over it; take away their own lives.
Paul oh Paul... look at what you have done? Is this the future you foresee?
