Costa Rica lost 1-0 in their first Group E match against Serbia, and will now face five-time world champions Brazil in St. Petersburg.

Achilles, a congenitally deaf snow-white cat, who also predicted the match winners during the 2017 Confederations Cup, has already made two predictions, and both proved true. He has predicted Russia's victory over Saudi Arabia and Ehypt and Iran's victory over Morocco.

Earlier it was reported that Achilles had been chosen the World Cup animal oracle for being the most stress-resistant and human-oriented of about 50 cats living at the Hermitage. Achilles has been given the Russia football kit in the form of white and red overalls. His number is nine, which refers to the number of a cat's lives.

The World Cup will continue through July 15, with a total of 64 matches set to be played at 12 stadiums across 11 Russian cities.
