Continuing in the tradition of animal predictions that began with the legendary Paul, the octopus in 2010 (RIP tentacled friend), the 2018 Football World Cup will feature Achilles, the snow white cat.

The lithe and furry feline has been named the official pre-match oracle for this summer’s tournament, after performing in last year’s Confederations Cup. Chosen for his affinity to humans, Achilles was born deaf but that seems to have only sharpened his precognitive abilities.
