Atlanta Braves center-fielder Michael Harris II may now need to get an England-themed tattoo after his World Cup prediction.
England pulled off a stunning 3-2 victory over Mexico at the Azteca to secure their spot in the quarter-finals against Norway.
Jude Bellingham and Harry Kane provided the goals yet again for Thomas Tuchel’s side, with a game in Miami this Saturday now booked.
Harris has been adopted by the England supporters following their attendance at Truist Park to see the Braves play the St. Louis Cardinals.
Ahead of the game against Mexico, Harris made a prediction, which was jokingly paired with the correct result leading to an England tattoo.
Michael Harris II requires England tattoo after World Cup prediction
Thomas Tuchel’s Three Lions put in one of the standout performances of the tournament in Mexico City.
To put things into perspective, England became the first team to beat Mexico at the Azteca in 13 years.
Ahead of the game, Harris gave his prediction: “I want to say England: three, Mexico: two.”
The reporter alongside him for Men in Blazers added: “And when it happens, Michael Harris II has told me he’s going to get Bulldogs tattooed. Am I not meant to say that on camera?”
“I don’t think you made it up. We’ll see,” responded Harris.
Well, the 2019 third round pick got his prediction absolutely spot on, which raises the question of whether he will live up to his promise.
Harris loved the reception he got from the England supporters last week and is proving somewhat of a lucky charm for the Three Lions.
He may well need to share his prediction for Saturday’s quarter-final clash in Miami against Norway.
