Just after Nigeria’s Super Eagles got a major endorsement from a pig to reach the semi-finals in the worldcup competition ongoing in Russia, Achilles the pyschic cat has also endorsed the team to win in today’s match against Argentina.
Achilles the cat, who has been predicting winners and losers in the tournament from the comfort of the St Petersburg Hermitage museum, had previously predicted outcomes during the 2017 Confederations Cup.
The cat, who is deaf and regarded as psychic, successfully chose Russia to beat Saudi Arabia and Egypt, Iran to beat Morocco and Brazil to emerge victorious against Costa Rica – although that final result was almost a given.
When the opportunity came to pick between Nigeria and Argentina, via two bowls of food placed in front of him with a flag above each, Achilles decided the Super Eagles would win by a nose. The trend for animal predictions become global news in 2010, when Paul the octopus correctly forecast Germany’s matches and correctly picked Spain as winners.
No word on the score but Achilles the feline with foresight indicates that Nigeria will beat Argentina. #WorldCup https://t.co/6g40m1n9go pic.twitter.com/MzquzhCgUB
