'Astrologer' cat Milu has predicted the results of one match after another in the World Cup'Astrologer' cat Milu has become the center of discussion on social media after predicting the results of one match after another. Although he has been in the news for correctly predicting the results of several matches, he made the first wrong prediction in the Argentina-Cape Verde match on Saturday. However, Brazilian fans have not lost faith in Milu. Brazil and Norway will face each other in the crucial last-16 match of the World Cup on Sunday (July 5) Indian time 1:30 a.m. This much-awaited match will be held at MetLife Stadium at 1:30 a.m. Milu's new prediction has also been revealed before the match. His 'favourite' says that five-time world champion Brazil will defeat Norway and make it to the quarter-finals. The predictions that Milu made before each of Brazil's matches in the current World Cup have matched the actual results, so the cat has now become a kind of symbol of good luck for fans. Many Brazilian fans on social media claim that Milu's predictions have boosted their confidence in previous matches. One fan wrote that even though Brazil fell behind against Japan, he trusted Milu's predictions and in the end, it came true. So they are hoping for the same result against Norway. Milu's prediction method is also quite unusual.
His owner, Nathan Pinheiro, keeps two identical bowls of food. The flags of the two rival teams are attached to the back of each bowl. When Milu is then released, the bowl from which he starts eating first is considered the potential winner. However, this method is also controversial. Some critics have alleged that Milu's owner deliberately guides him towards a specific bowl.
However, Nathan Pinheiro has denied that allegation. He claims that the entire process is transparent and there is no scope for manipulation. By releasing the video, he has tried to show that Milu chooses a bowl of his choice completely naturally. Milu's streak of success has come to an end for the first time by giving wrong predictions in the Argentina-Cape Verde match on Saturday. Even so, there is no shortage of interest in him surrounding the Brazil-Norway match. Now it remains to be seen whether Milu's predictions come true this time too. If so, then this 'astrologer' cat will once again be at the center of discussion, along with a possible victory for Brazil.
