World Cup and octopus!

With the sad and humiliating exit of Brazil and Argentina, World Cup football has, to a certain extent, lost its flavour in certain parts of the world and Bangladesh in particular.
However, it is now the duty of their respective think-tanks to search for the loopholes in their playing strategy that let the opponents play havoc and eventually pull them out of the event so ruthlessly.
Amidst all this, however, the foretelling Octopus in Germany has already stunned the Germans in particular and the world in general with its power of choosing the German team against its opponents in so far as three games that turned out to be correct. Many people, in their split opinions about this living mystery, have points of varied kinds. Some are of the view that it's no more than a modern superstition, while others staying on a safe side think that if this soon-to-be-worshiped-fish with its all worth of telling future boosts up the morale of the German players then it's worth it --- it has fared well for the Germans!
How we should react to such phenomena, one wonders!
