If you had followed the World cup 2012 you may
have heard about the Octopus named the Paul which predict 2010 World Cup results
of matches. A psychic pig is set to take over Paul the Octopus at the European
championships in Ukraine and
Poland .
Kiev 's city
government said on Friday it would wheel out the porky tipster to give daily
forecasts once the tournament kicks off next month.
"A unique oracle hog, a
real Ukrainian pig and a psychic which knows the mysteries of football," a
statement said. "Every day at 16.00 it will predict the result of the
upcoming match." Paul, who has since passed away, shot to fame at the 2010
World Cup after his feeding behaviour was used to correctly predict the winner
of each of the Germany 's
seven matches.

He also tipped World Cup
winners Spain to beat the Netherlands in the final in South Africa from his tank at an aquarium in Oberhausen . Kiev officials said they
wanted bring similar excitement to Ukrainians by bringing the telepathic pig to
the city's fan zone before matches. 'Psychic' creatures have become the rage
since Paul blazed his tentacled trail.

A rare two-headed tortoise
called Magdalena embarked on a new career as a tipster at last year's
ice hockey world championships in Slovakia . Germany
discovered a cross-eyed opossum called Heidi, who made an appearance on
American television earlier this year to predict the Oscar winners. She died
last September. The hog will be eager to sniff out the correct result himself to
avoid the chop as pork is a staple of the local cuisine.
