In a clip posted on their social media platforms, the Cornwall Seal Sanctuary shared a video of Jinx the seal predicting England’s win.

But according to South Africans, the seal was duped as the woman in the video seemingly lures the animal to her food bucket, pictured closest to the England flag.
“You’ll never cheat Africans,” scoffed one tweep in response to the video. Another added: “Corruption does not guarantee success”.
