The revelation of the World Cup - Paul the Octopus

Paul the Octopus has been predicting all of Germany's games for the last 2 years with an eerie level of accuracy. He managed to correctly predict the outcomes of all 7 of Germany's games at the World Cup, including their shock loss to Serbia and their loss to Spain in the semi final. This begs the question: did psychic waves of Germany's wins/losses cause Paul's predictions or did Paul's predictions cause Germany's results? ;)
