Move over Paul the psychic octopus, there’s a new oracle in the football world, and she goes by the name of ‘Bubi’ the African elephant residing in a reserve in Thuringia, Germany.
In a remarkable display of clairvoyance, ‘Bubi’ made her prediction for the opening game of Euro2024 by kicking a ball into a goal marked with the German flag, confidently forecasting victory for Germany against Scotland.
Originally hailing from Italy, ‘Bubi’ celebrated her prediction by proudly waving the black-red-gold tricolour, symbolizing her adopted homeland.
Following her psychic exertions, ‘Bubi’ replenished her energies with a bucket of barley, fueling speculation about her uncanny abilities.
‘Bubi’s talent for football fortune-telling was discovered serendipitously when a ball found its way into her enclosure, prompting her to exhibit her kicking skills.
As anticipation builds for the outcome of Friday night’s match at the Allianz Arena in Munich, fans and pundits alike eagerly await to see if ‘Bubi’ truly possesses the mystical powers to foresee football results accurately.
The elephant’s unexpected role as a soothsayer adds a whimsical touch to Euro2024, showcasing the unpredictable and entertaining aspects of football forecasting through the eyes of a remarkable animal.
