Magical pig predicts Super Eagles to make World Cup semi-final

Super Eagles

A mysterious pig named Mystic Marcus has tipped Nigeria to reach the last-four of the FIFA World Cup in Russia.

Something of a reminiscent of the psychic octopus named Paul at the 2010 edition in South Africa, Marcus has predicted that the Super Eagles will make a deep run alongside Belgium, Uruguay and Argentina.

Mystic Marcus has a 100 per cent track record of predicting sports results according to his owner, Juliette Stevens, reports Daily Mail.

And the eight-year-old prophet even predicted Brexit and that Donald Trump would win the US presidential election.

He made his latest predictions by gobbling up apples bearing the flags of the nations.

If that happens, Nigeria will become Africa’s first to reach that stage.

The west Africans are drawn in Group D alongside Argentina, Iceland and Croatia.
