Lions, and tigers, and bears… Olé!
As the World Cup draws near, predictions of who will win it all are in full effect. Mostly, these predictions are based on the skills of each country's players, their history, injury reports, etc. But what if instead of human players, each country had to enter its national animal as its champion in a fight to the death?
Here is what the outcome would probably look like.
Group A: Brazil, Croatia, Mexico, Cameroon
Cameroon is immediately eliminated because it doesn't have a national animal, leaving the other three to slug it out. Although cute, the marten from Croatia is no match for Brazil's jaguar and Mexico's golden eagle.
Winner: Brazil
