Is Xavi Paul the Octopus ?? - Scarily Accurate Asian Cup predictions

When I first saw Xavi's predictions for AFC Asian Cup back in December, I thought he must be on DMT or glue or something.

But wow, he's been almost 90% accurate with some truly bald-predictions. Looks set to get the final right.




The only major prediction he's got wrong so far is Australia beating UAE in quarterfinals. But if Qatar beats UAE now (it's a geopolitical bloodbath) and beat Japan in the final on Friday, we all deserve an egg on our face and to acknowledge Xavi's greatness once more.

He's been more accurate with balder predictions than the now deceased Paul the Octopus made in 2010. Also seeing Spain won that cup, I'm starting to wonder...what if....Xavi is the Paul the octopus himself

It will be an insult to football if a team full of foreign mercenaries won an international tournament.

He looks like a European Tour Golfer lmao.

THE GOD

Qatar wins the Asian Cup

God of football understanding.

Evidence that he understands football more than all Madrid sheep put together.

He will retire baldy fraudy in no time.

Are you Qatari or "Qatari"?

Couldn't give a shit about Xavi Paul or or the Asian Cup, but this probably is my favorite GL headline of all time.

He's probably white english male from Sheffield

Then the ministry of web development in Qatar thinks he is a good poster so they pay him to use their flag and represent Qatar on this forum. Same pattern as with footballers.

I'm Qatari, my mother is Qatari, my father is, my grandparents are. But i was born outside Qatar due to the nature of my father's job. I hold a Qatari passport.
