This is a gimmick that should’ve died with Paul the ‘Pus, and hopefully he tasted utterly delicious for putting us through the next [large number here] tournaments with a psychic animal which isn’t really psychic at all.

The Ukraine took the bait this time around and will dazzle our minds with a psychic pig. How? No one yet knows, nor have we been informed of his qualifications, but my bar for being impressed is now at sings a show tune for Germany versus a one-pig interpretation of Charlotte’s Web for the Netherlands.

“A unique oracle hog, a real Ukrainian pig and a psychic which knows the mysteries of football,” a statement said. “Every day at 16.00 it will predict the result of the upcoming match.”

Kiev officials said they wanted bring similar excitement to Ukrainians by bringing the telepathic pig to the city’s fan zone before matches.

So there you have it. Get to the fan zone for your daily dose of side show, possibly right next to the conveniently sponsored stand selling bacon products.
