For football fans, superstitions are fundamental, as they often place their faith in them, like the mythical “Anulo Mufa” used by Argentinians before winning the Copa América in 2021 and the World Cup in Qatar 2022. On this occasion, fans might put their faith in a seer with a very peculiar method.

“I have between 75 and 90 percent accuracy,” claimed English seer Jemima Packington, who has gained fame for her asparagus-based predictions and, of course, for her great effectiveness when making forecasts.

One of her “greatest achievements” was predicting Brexit and the death of Queen Elizabeth II. When asked to predict one of the most important sporting events of the summer, she stated that Gareth Southgate's team should prepare for “a great celebration.”

Additionally, Packington briefly explained how she makes her predictions, an act she has performed since childhood when she used to read tea leaves. “My technique hasn’t changed, and I still throw the asparagus and interpret the patterns they form. Seeing the patterns is instant for me, possibly because I have years of practice,” she said.

“Many people have asked me how England will do in the Euro Cup, so I’ve been analyzing the spears very closely. And they keep pointing to three particular words: ‘It’s coming home,’” she declared.
