A Russian cat reputed to have psychic powers has predicted the result of the first game of the World Cup.
Achilles, whose day job is catching mice at the St Petersburg's Hermitage Museum, plumped for his home nation of Russia, who play Saudi Arabia in the opening match of the tournament today.
The feline garnered a reputation as a psychic last summer by predicting a number of results correctly in the Confederations Cup, which was also held in Russia.
Yesterday Achilles, who is deaf, was presented to the world’s media for his first prediction of the tournament.
The cat was offered two bowls of food with the flags of two nations over each. He initially hesitated for a moment before eating from the one representing his motherland.

Nowadays, all I think of is Viking Kittehs and Zotting when I hear The Immigrant Song.
Yea, it's ridiculed and made fun of, but that song MAY be one of the most influential songs in rock history. It's also noteworthy for Page not taking a solo on it.

Actually, Russia has the best team in Group A - great offensive power and held the Saudis scoreless.

If Saudi Arabia had to qualify out of Africa instead of Asia, they will never make it to another World Cup.

Of course here come the accusations that Putin paid off the Saudis to throw the game.

Russia had a world-classic team and everything went right for them today.

Russia struggled big-time coming into the WC, and dealt with injuries, most didn’t have them making it out of the group.
Face it, if you can’t qualify out of the Asian group, like Saudi Arabia did, you’ve got to be pretty bad. Makes CONCACAF look like UEFA by comparison.
