Uh oh, Paul made the classic mistake of anyone at the peak of their fame: Diversification. Until now, he specialized only in picking Germany matches. This is going to be Paul's "Disco Album."

make that "über Deutsch Disko herzeien". I forgot all my dans German when I started learning Swedish. Anyway, don't badmouth German disco.

This Khan video is AMAZING!

Symbiosis! Paul picked Spain to be tops in the World Cup. Spain picked Paul to be tapas.

Don't do it! Octopi are smart. Paul just bet a million clams (and half a dozen mussels) on the Netherlands.

If he can't pay up, he'll get beaten to a pulpo.

But that Singaporean parrot picked the Netherlands! I'm gonna need an anthropomorphic tie-breaker.

What is the word from Alexi Lasas?

Don't you mean "Alexei Llama"?

@SA Who knows what the fuck I meant? Lalas, I guess, who will pick the Dutch because he's colorist or something.

Alexi Lalas' sideburns pick Spain.

Paul picked Spain because he's SMART. Not some Nostradompus. Viva Espana.

He always picks the final wrong. Hup, Holland, hup!
