Is it really a World Cup if there are no animals predicting the outcome of games?
Paul the Octopus went viral in 2010 after correctly picking the winners of eight straight World Cup matches and these animal oracles are back in action for Qatar 2022.

While Germany were favourites to win their opening clash against Japan on Nov 23, an otter named Taiyo went with the underdogs, who eventually stunned the four-time World Cup champions 2-1 at the Khalifa International Stadium.

Other animals, however, were less accurate in their predictions.
A grey parrot named Olivia from Nasu Animal Kingdom Zoo in Japan picked Germany as the winners against the Blue Samurais.

An Oxfordshire-based Alpaca named Alfie predicted that England would qualify for the knockout stage, but said that Iran would beat the Three Lions 3-0 in their World Cup opener, which Gareth Southgate’s men won 6-2.
So is it really coming home?

PHOTO: Taiyo the otter had good news for Japanese fans at this year’s 2022 World Cup in Qatar, correctly predicting Japan’s group stage win over Germany on Wednesday. From his home at the Maxell Aqua Park Shinagawa in Japan, the Taiyo was given three buckets to choose from -- Japan (blue), draw (yellow) and Germany (Red) -- and did not hesitate in picking up his tiny football and placing his bets on Japan. He was widely praised online for his exploits.

So you’re scared of meat, man, beer, and now you’re scared of woman? (ozcar@ozcar79 on 28 November 2022 at 03:20 am) Half the games have been dire. I rather watch her. Obviously the crowd can tolerate, accept semi naked women, beer and know how to play football 🇭🇷👍 Still breathing normally, you need to know.

PHOTO: No FIFA World Cup would be complete without "psychic" animals predicting the winners, and Qatar 2022 has been no exception.
From "clairvoyant" camels to "mystic" elephants and "cryptic" rats, a range of animals -- big and small -- have tried their paws, hooves and tentacles at predicting the score line.
