Qatar 2022: Okocha believes he needs to consult an oracle before predicting winner

Nigerian great Austin Jay-Jay Okocha believes he will have to consult an oracle in order to predict which country will lift the iconic World Cup trophy.

The 22nd edition of the FIFA World Cup will go down as one of the best in history with a lot of twists and turns.

The first World Cup in the Middle East has seen a lot of shocks and surprises at every stage with some football powerhouses falling off along the way.

The semi-final is set to kick off on Tuesday, December 13 as Argentina takes on Croatia at the Lusail Stadium.

World Champions France will also entertain history makers Morocco at the Al Bayt Stadium on Wednesday, December 14.

When asked which among the four semi-finalists will lift the prestigious trophy, Okocha hinted that it is still too close to call, and he needs to consult an oracle.

"I'm not going to predict today. I need to consult my oracle. It's too early," the ex-Super Eagles captain said on Super Sports.

The iconic Lusail Stadium with an 88,966 capacity will host the grand finale on Sunday, December 18.
