Russia 2018: Achiles the cat got in right!

Achilles the cat, the animal oracle for the 2018 World Cup, rightly predicted that Nigeria would beat Argentina in their final Group D match.

The cat was presented with a choice of two bowls of food with Argentinian and Nigerian flags placed next to them, and Achilles preferred the latter one.

Earlier, the congenitally deaf snow-white cat correctly predicted Russia’s wins over Saudi Arabia and Egypt, Iran’s victory over Morocco and Brazil’s defeat of Costa Rica.

The Group D game between two-time former champions Argentina and Nigeria was held at the St. Petersburg Stadium.

Argentina go into the match knowing only a victory could see them through to the round of 16.
