A pig with “special powers” has chosen the four nations that will reach the World Cup semi-finals. Mystic Marcus, a micro pig from Derbyshire in the UK, chose Belgium, Argentina, Nigeria and Uruguay.
He did it by eating apples marked with the flags of all the other teams. He correctly predicted the outcome of the 2014 Fifa World Cup, the Brexit referendum and Donald Trump’s election, said owner Juliette Stevens.
Mystic Marcus ate 28 apples, with flags of each nation, and left four which it is claimed will make the semi-finals. BBC
