Moo Deng predicts England v Argentina result ahead of World Cup semi-final

Moo Deng has predicted the winner of England v Argentina ahead of the World Cup semi-final on Wednesday (15 July).

In a video shared by Khao Kheow Open Zoo on 14 July, the pygmy hippo, who has become an internet sensation, was presented with two halves of watermelon bearing the flags of each team.

The hippo straight away moved towards a watermelon, “predicting” the team going through to the final.

The Thai zoo said that regardless of whether the actual match result matches Moo Deng’s prediction, the activity was organised solely for fun.
