According to USA Today, Paul the Psychic Octopus is not the only clairvoyant creature making his decision on the winner of the FIFA World Cup.

Mani the Parakeet currently resides in Spain and is also taking his chances on this pressing decision. When presented two differing cards, one bearing the Spanish flag and the other the Dutch flag, the parakeet chose the Dutch flag, pecking at the piece of paper with its beak.

Paul predicted correctly the past six FIFA games in which his home country of Germany was involved. Spanish fans take his prediction with pride and continue to know that their team has a good chance of taking home the World Cup for the first time in history.

In addition to Paul the Octopus, Jabulani the Octopus is also putting his money down on the Spanish winning the final match. Stationed in Cape Town, South Africa, his caretakers also claim that the eight-legged friend has the ability to predict the future.

The only thing there is for Spanish and Dutch fans alike to do is wait patiently for Sunday's game and hope for the best.
