在曼谷动物园的一只海狮已成为最新预测世界足球风暴的权威。

A sea lion in a Bangkok zoo has become the latest pundit to take the world of soccer by storm. "Tik" -- a seven-year old male, originally born in South Africa, is certain Greece will lose to Poland in the opening game of Euro 2012 on Friday.

Tik managed to head a ball marked with Greek colors into a basketball hoop, signifying the loser of the game. Tik follows hot on the heels of another famous zoo soccer pundit, Paul the Octopus, who achieved fame by correctly predicting the outcome of Germany's seven matches during the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. Euro 2012 is being staged in Poland and Ukraine over the next three weeks. It features 16 national teams battling it out for the title of European Champions.
