WED, June 13 2018-theG&BJournal-The black Micro-pig, Mystic Marcus predicts that Nigeria, Belgium, Argentina and Uruguay will make the semi-finals of the 2018 World Cup schedule to Kick-off in Russia tomorrow (Thursday 14 June).
Mystic Marcus has a hundred percent record of predicting sports results according to his owner Juliette Stevens. He has previously guessed the winner of the 2014 World Cup and the Wimbledon tennis finals by picking apples.
According to report by the UK Daily Mail, the eight- year-old prophesier even predicted Brexit and that Donald Trump would win the US presidential election.
The betting company William Hill puts the odds on Nigeria making it to the semi-finals at 33/1. Nigeria ended its World Cup preparations with three notable defeats to England, Serbia and the Czech Republic, defeats that left many Super Eagles fans scratching their heads on the country’s chances at the World Cup.
Many are however counting on the stability brought among the players since the arrival of Coach Gernot Rohr after the team went through five coaches in two years following the 2014 World Cup debacle in Brazil.
Morocco, Senegal, Egypt and Tunisia will compete in Russia later this month along side Nigeria as African representatives and no one expects them to go beyond the second round including former Cameroon defender Lauren who told the BBC that to have an African team in the semi-finals is not a ”reality.” None of the five teams are ranked in the top 20 at the moment.
The Super Eagles have won their opening matches at the World Cup on two occasions and many are hoping they carry on that tradition when they play their first game of the finals against Croatia on Saturday.
