MEET THE CHICKEN THAT HAS BEEN PREDICTING EURO 12.KEV, THE COCK-ON-THE-BLOC

Only Few people are ignorant of Paul the Octopus-the soulless being who became internationally famous after his feeding behaviour was used to correctly predict the winner of each of the Germany national football team's seven matches in the 2010 FIFA WORLD CUP, as well as the outcome of the final when it correctly selected a win for Spain against the Netherlands in the World Cup final on 11th July by eating the mussel in the box with the Spanish Flag on it. These predictions were 100% (8/8) correct for the World Cup and 86% (12/14) correct overall. That's however stale now, and what makes this missive newsy is the realism of a chicken somewhere in Kiev that has been predicting match scores since EURO 2012 began in Poland and Ukraine. Christened KEV, the cock-on-the-bloc has gotten 60% of his predictions wrong which puts his extra-ordinariness in  dubiety, unlike PAUL who was over-the-top, unusually excellent with scores prediction and very much deserving of our attention in 2010. Am without a doubt in my 'warri-mind' that KEV is just like any other backyard chicken whose caretaker wants to popularize. In choosing, The chicken draws toward two country flags (countries to be involved in the match) and peck the seeds at the root of the supposed to-be-winner. Maybe his reference of attraction is the colourfulness of the flag or something else i can't still fashion out (i have never courted a chicken), the fact remains this is just like any other animal with a dumb mind and no depth of thought. 'You have seen the fixtures-he's seen the future' so they say, but you have to feel sorry for KEV after his victory tips for Sweden and France on Monday got on the good side of wrong, and yesterday 'he' was right about Czech's Victory but 'his' "RUSSIA TO WIN" premonition was a fantastic fantasy. Today, KEV has made his predictions---PORTUGAL and GERMANY to WINNNNNN---so we are not going to argue, because when you play with feathers you get tickled. The aftermath of today's matches will decide 'his' fate whether 'he' will be better slaughtered or will garner more mentions on twitter.
