As the World Cup reaches the half-way point in terms of games played, kazaxia takes a look at how @psychicsaiga has performed thus far.
It’s been a mixed World Cup for @psychicsaiga with some spectacular successes, including Costa Rica’s victory over Italy, and some atrocious choices with England, tipped for the final by the not so psychic saiga, dumped out of the competition after only two games.
