Psychic cat backs France to beat Spain
In a video circulating on Instagram and seen by YEN.com.gh, Nimbus approached two bowls labelled 'France' and 'Spain' as part of its latest prediction ritual.
The cat immediately moved towards the French bowl and began eating, a move interpreted by its followers as a sign that Didier Deschamps' side will overcome Spain in their last four encounter.
Watch Nimbus' prediction of the France vs Spain match, as shared on Instagram:
Nimbus has enjoyed a remarkable run throughout the tournament, correctly predicting 26 World Cup matches. However, the feline oracle has also experienced a few setbacks.
One of its notable misses came during the Round of 16 clash between Norway and Brazil, when Nimbus selected the South Americans to advance. Instead, Erling Haaland's brace inspired Norway to a famous victory.
Overall, the cat has made eight incorrect predictions, giving Spain supporters hope that the latest forecast could once again be overturned.

France vs Spain match preview
The European giants meet at the semi-final stage after impressive runs through the knockout rounds.
France reached the last four after defeating Morocco in the quarter-finals, while Spain booked their place by edging past Belgium in a tense encounter.
The two-time world champions are chasing history as they look to reach a third consecutive World Cup final. A victory over Spain would place them alongside some of the greatest teams in tournament history.
Spain, meanwhile, is aiming to return to the final for the first time since winning their only World Cup title in 2010. A place in the showpiece event would provide an opportunity to add another chapter to their football legacy.
According to talkSPORT, the semi-final will be the first World Cup meeting between the two nations since 2006, when France produced a memorable comeback to defeat Spain 3-1 in the Round of 16.
However, recent history favours La Roja, who defeated France in the Euro 2024 semi-final and the 2025 UEFA Nations League semi-final.
Who awaits the winner of France vs Spain?
The winner of the clash will face either England or Argentina in the 2026 World Cup final, according to The Athletic.
France will hope Nimbus' prediction proves accurate as they chase another appearance in the biggest match in world football.
Spain, however, will be determined to prove that the psychic cat has got this one wrong.
