A group of mystic Meerkats at Drusillas Park in Sussex have predicted that England’s Lionesses will beat Nigeria’s Super Falcons in Monday’s 2023 women’s World Cup round of 16 clash.
Using two buckets of treats with each team’s flag on, the meerkats choose which one they would prefer to eat from.
The bucket with the most meerkats surrounding it wins.
Now, the meerkats have predicted England will over the Falcons.
Head Keeper Gemma Romanis said: “We’ve got lots of football fans in the team and always like to get behind the squad and show our support.
“We’ve been doing this for a while now and the meerkats get so excited when they see us setting it up – even our new baby, Reggie who is only a couple of months old was in on the action. We are so proud of our Lionesses so it would be amazing for England to win as the meerkats have predicted!”
Gemma continued: “They sometimes take a while to settle on a decision with interest in each of the buckets, but today they are full of optimism and went straight for England and Nigeria barely got a look in.
“We also gave them some footballs to play with, and being naturally curious and playful they had a great time rolling them around – although their ball skills aren’t exactly note-worthy and they should probably stick to predicting rather than playing!”
This will be the second time the Falcons and England will meet at the women’s World Cup.
Their first encounter was in the group stage of the 1995 edition which England won 3-2.
However, in the two friendly games between the two teams the Falcons won both 1-0 and 3-0 in 2002 and 2004 respectively.

Nonsense
Bro, this is not nonsense, na original nonsensical. See me, see wahala oo.!!
Without these meerkats,Nigeria does not stand any chance to beat england.Now let me tell you why Nigeria will loose the game.The falcons will always be in a hurry to score first and with this in their mind,they will loose alot of possession of the ball.Secondly,The English girls will keep the ball away from the falcons and once this happens they will be running up and down on the pitch and by so doing they will get tired so quickly and the defence will be defending and pressure will be on them.The falcons attack is not good or sharp.So far I haven’t seen much from oshoala who we think is the best female footballer in Africa..Also Nigeria women were too excited to be in this stage,all the matches they have played I haven’t seen them making some good passes and control possession of the ball.So,if they control the ball by having more of possession then they can win.Another reason why the falcons may loose is the retrieval level of the team, that’s how often or time it takes to retrieve the ball from their opponent and at what part of the field they retrieve the ball.If it’s difficult for them to retrieve the ball and they are not able to always get a second ball,and also not able to creat chances at the final third it’s going to be a trouble for them.
Your last reason somehow looks reasonable but it was completely defied by Japan against Spain. You know the outcome too. Spain passed or possessed the ball to death but were outscored too.
Well, these cats are somewhere in England. Let the Falcons do their homework well. They may smile at the end
The English team should be afraid of the Super Falcons and have every reason to be after losing in the last two friendlies.
This is just them trying to get into the heads of their opponents to see if they have any chance. I don’t expect Super Falcons to fall for that cheap and biased prediction. The bucket doesn’t even represent the Nigerian colors. Mtcheew…
You are right
Super Falcons shall carry the day. Man has the authority, in Nigeria cats nor animals do not decide.
Must you comment, if you don’t have any thing to say why don’t you just rest?
Hahahaha. Enough of all this talk. England are better but we’re more experienced. We can absorb pressure and luck is on our side. They will play the and we’ll do the scoring. We’re gonna win. Believe me.
You want to leave your role and play that of God.
Have it in mind that your analysis is based on prediction, the Nigerian side are professionals same as the england players, so expect anything good from both sides.
Don’t rule Nigeria out because they are in for a shocker
Nigeria will win the women world cup bet me
Poor Analysis I’m sure you don’t expect Nigeria will make it to this stage
I fairly agree with your review .
Don’t be too sure, football is still a game, remember last world, Nigeria against Argentina.
What I saw here is not Nigeria national colour, because Nigeria does not have blue in the national flag, so this is a big mistake from their prediction. I can see super falcons flying higher on Monday. Congratulations to Super Falcons. Up Nigeria
Bro, the Nigerian flag colour dey dia o. Look again. Very well.
The bucket for Nigeria could have been either white or green just as England is red. So those rat eating from England means deceit since Blue is not part of Nigeria logo.
That is not complete Nigerian colours using blue bucket is a mistake.
Green bucket should have been ideal.
Why using red bucket for England?
Anyway is a game of mind and believe, not for me.
The better team will win.
No creature of God can see the future but Him alone . If the Meerkats have such powers to look into the future ahead of events that have not taken place, let results and outcome be justified as claimed
Exactly my point bro
For the paranormal to be efficacious,space time continuum,ought to be inverted,creating a portal to an alternate reality.Thus,michel de nostradame aka nostradamus,was able to invert space time continuum,via,having ZERO forces of gravity and speed of light respectively.
This is a mind game, it shows they are scared of nigeria. I predict that all the cats will die after Nigeria beat england 3-1.
Nigerians should keep faith alive, it is only God who has the final say… Congratulations to us in advance.
This is absolute rubbish. ANIMALS are attracted to red colors. I won’t be surprised that the animals are actually pushing England away from the competition.!
LMFAO
Omo that means SF go COLLECT WOTO WOTO for ENGLAND HAND o…

LMFAO..
ORACLE where u bin dey when GHANA BEAT us to the WC TICKET?
Where u bin dey when we had a R16 CRASH PROGRAM?
How many games has the animals predicted correctly? They would be rendered useless- if not killed- tomorrow after the match
‘We’ve been doing this for a while now and the meerkats get so excited when they see us setting it up – even our new baby, Reggie who is only a couple of months old was in on the action. We are so proud of our Lionesses so it would be amazing for England to win as the meerkats have predicted!”…… These lines clearly explain why they run to England bucket. Not sure they care a thing about you guys losing on Monday. They just used to the type of food you smartly put in the England bucket and haven’t tasted whatever pounded yam and egusi soup or any other nigeria food you may have put in the Nigerian bucket. To Hell with your Failed mystics. You and your England will be thrown outta the world competition on Monday JEHOVAH EL-SHADDAI, THE OMNIPOTENT GOD WILLING and by HIS SPECIAL GRACE.
Let me tell you for free, England has come to the end of the road. Save my email and write me a mail concerning what I have just told you. I cancel every meerkat’s predictions in Jesus’ name.
write it down and let’s see who is the ultimate power.
Why is the Nigerian press publishing such nonsense?
LMFAO..
OGA WHY are YOU WASTING the CANCELING, CASTING and BINDING na..
The CASTING and BINDING that YOU should be using on those EVIL SPIRIT in the GLASS HOUSE you are WASTING it on these INNOCENT, HARMLESS GOD’S CREATURES because PREDICTION didn’t FAVOR you…
Or THINK say them come from the DEVIL?
No wonder why your name na monkey post…
3lionesses coach even said they take out our strength and then exploit our weaknesses.
Maywhile the bush meat also predicted that 3lionesses will win.
Is there any local hunter in this forum ? Please I need the heads of those bush meat.
Hahaha, my man you wan use this cute animals do pepper soup? Lol!
Exactly….. dunno why any Nigerian media should re-broadcast such nonsense! Mtcheewww
True talk bro. England is going home
I said it against Australia, I am saying it here again YES, WE CAN. It can happen. Nigerian girls will win this time. Meerkats or no Meerkats. Believe me.
God bless you jare ….. England Wey we don bear finish…….
Nigeria 4 . England 3. Let those who have ears hear.
Dey play
Forget the meerkats. The eye-test tells it better. England is far and away better than us in this tournament. Our players have done well to even get this far. They deserve a pat on the back. But as far as this tournament is concerned and given the quality of the opposition and the glaring limitations of our players, this team has gone as far as it can go.
Welcome home, our heroines!
It depends what they put inside the bucket and we don’t know that, nothing can predict outcome or future except God, remember as a man thinket in his heart so it’s is, the only thing that can change situation is faith so belief in your team don’t fall to the mind game.
Who doesn’t know that red color materials are more attractive both to humans and animals? Those creatures would naturally be attracted by the red, plus they’ve been seeing the same red/white before from other predictions… familiar source of food, right? Whoever wins is not by this yeye padded prediction from Meerkat or whatever
Correct!
Cant you people just remain humble so because Meerkats jump England Bucket Una go dey begin yarn up and down onto say Nigeria will hammer England. Remain Humble mehn let us not forget nobody expected us to get out of our group based on Poor Preparation mainly and thw calibre of opponents in the group. But we did because we did not make mouth now you people have started your usual Nigerian Arrogance that let those who have ear hear bla bla bla. Abegy remain humble mehn England women’s team no be moi moi oo. The girls need humble prayers and support not arrogant talk biko
Bros…. let’s enjoy ds while it lasts. It is better to do online shakara now bcs we all do not know what the outcome will look like come Monday.
As for those cats, they are just playing–the writer should have shared the meerkats’ most recent past predictions….even at ds, nah still wash. Super Falcons all the way!
It’s a very tough matchup for our girls. One thing England will not do is underrate us. That will be at their own peril because we have the speed and physicality to match them. Daly Russo and James will be a handful, but I’m leaning on Ayinde and Ucheibe to run their socks off for 90 minutes. One matchup I’m looking forward to is Lauren James and Michelle the gazelle Alozie. Irrespective of the result it will be an interesting game to watch. Goodluck to the SuperFalcons.
Hahaha, this one na simple trick na.
They simply put treats the meerkats like in the England bucket, and they put treats the animals don’t like in the Nigeria bucket. Maybe there is even no food in the Nigeria bucket.
It actually portrays our administrative situation. Administratively speaking, England’s bucket is full of goodies, but Nigeria’s bucket contains rubbish, or nothing at all.
So based on administrative competence, its not even a contest. England all the way. But based on the hunger and desire of the Nigeria coach and his team, then a good match is upon us.
Sorry, na me ooo.
Who you be?
E be like say I go shorten my name to Pom. Perhaps that’s better 🙂
You got the point quite well, Sure. Infact, I had also opined that those animals crowding the bucket is doing so presumably due to the hunger strike they’ve been subjected to over a period of time. So, their first sense of judgement on seeing the Red Bucket is of the assumption that it’s somewhat that could satiate their appetite, which is logically attainable. Hence, you then mad-thronging the Red Bucket.
And again, the English are only doing what they knows how to do best, using the media to create a kind of pseudopodia in the mind if their opponents. This is purely another form of mind-gane on a coded scale.
Hahaha, who dash Monkey banana?
I cocur with you@pompei,
Imagine say na british passport dey that england bucket and ecowas dey the naija bucket, the owl lagos go enter inside that small britsh bucket, you go suprise wen you go see jagaban an peakmilk inside the bucket self.
Las Las em go cook una chop on Monday morning
Chai! Why we no come meet Switzerland na?? See as Spain dey roast them. But no shaking sha anybody can collect in this tournament.
Hmmmm all dis predict no mata. All I no my country Nigeria will win this match by God grace!!
From what I’ve read, Meerkats are generally attracted to the colour red.
The Meerkats are conversant with the British flag not by winning.
Justin
Get ready to console your meerkats.
Because by the time super falcons of Nigeria beat those clawless lioness, the cats will cry comfortlessly in frustration.
Get their milk rrady before Monday
If u are used with animals, everything red always attractive to them,don’t be carried away super falcon for the money
That’s nonsense to say that the Three Lioness Of England will outclass the Super Falcon of Nigeria base on baseless heresis of one illogical assumption. Let me tell you one thing. You see those animals thronging over the Red and white colours on the Bucket is just a reinforcement of sense of attraction by the animals. This is so probably due to hunger, they may have presumed the content of the bucket to somewhat that could satiate their longing appetite. Hence, you then crawling and crowding the said bucket. That is pure logic; read My lips!
Cats that were born and bred in UK, at times I wonder at the senses of this Oyinbo sef.
This one just deh advertise en business. No be today prediction start. If God helped us get past the Olympic champions and the Matildas then He’ll also put us past a nation yet to lift the trophy.
And it may shock this oyinbo and there cats when Nigeria beat and knock them out of this tournament on Monday…
No be only cat prediction it surprise wuna dey there.
It’s just a psychological warfare. There is absolutely nothing to it. One of such predictions by an animal about our u21 during the Olympic game proved wrong after the outing ended in disaster. Just go all out and do your thing
Did the Meerkats predict that Germany will quit in group stage? Inform the Meerkats that this is football
English teams are good on Media house, as if that is not enough they now push the battles to buckets. Tell the English meerkats that Nigeria meerkateers predicted the game in favour of 9ja
This is a mere mind game. Nigeria girls will shock England
