Oracle orangutan backs Germany for Euros win against Scotland

Hosts Germany are on course for victory in their opening match of the European Championship against Scotland - according to an oracle orangutan at Dortmund Zoo. Walter, 35, is no stranger to predicting the outcome of football matches and is a veteran of previous World Cup and Euros campaigns, as well as German and European club competitions. On Thursday, he first picked a bucket of food decorated with a German football scarf, although he also seemed keen on the Scottish equivalent, which the zoo spokesperson Marcel Stawinoga said could suggest the hosts winning a close match. The tournament starts on Friday in Munich, and three-time winners Germany will start as strong favorites against Scotland despite indifferent form in recent tournaments including exiting the World Cup at the group stages twice in a row. — Report from Reuters Subscribe to the ABS-CBN News channel! - http://bit.ly/TheABSCBNNews Watch full episodes on iWantTFC for FREE here: http://iwanttfc.com Visit our website at http://news.abs-cbn.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/abscbnNEWS Twitter: https://twitter.com/abscbnnews Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/abscbnnews
