Since the 2010 octopus Paul a popular vote, each World Cup will launch a group of various small animals to engage in World Cup predictions. This year's World Cup is no exception.

Before the match against Croatia, Olivia, a net-worthy parrot at Nasu Safari Park in Tochigi Prefecture, Japan, was surrounded by staff members to make predictions for the Japan vs Croatia match.

After a long tussle between the Japanese and Croatian flags, the web-celebrity parrot finally picked up the Japanese flag.

So Japan is stable?

No.

Look at Olivia's group stage prediction results.

Japan vs Germany - Germany

Japan vs Costa Rica - Japan

Japan vs Spain - Spain

Based on the well-known results, this parrot's group stage predictions are 100% wrong.

Take a look at Olivia's prediction process for the Japan vs Croatia match.

In fact, Olivia started out with a preference for Croatia, then hesitantly torn between the two flags for half a day.

Look, Olivia started off with the Croatian flag in her mouth.

At the last moment, Olivia decided to give up the Croatian flag and picked up the Japanese flag towards the breeder lady.

Now look back, this prediction process is highly restored to the game. Japan had the upper hand at the beginning and had the momentum to take the game easily. Croatia turned the tide in the second half, and after the two sides pulled for a long time, Japan crashed out of the penalty shootout.

So this parrot seems to be the reverse octopus Paul.

We don't know if this parrot can see tomorrow's sunshine with such "accurate" prediction of the match result.

On October 26, 2010, the amazing Paul the octopus died tragically, leaving the world saddened by it. According to sources, Paul did not die on October 26, but three months earlier, two days before predicting the World Cup winner.

The reason for the delay in announcing its death was a complete conspiracy. After Paul's death, the Oberhausen Aquarium immediately found a octopus like it as a "substitute", while blocking the news of Paul's death.
