Intro:

Elephant oracle "Nelly" predicts Germany will beat France in the World Cup quarter-final.

Script:

After correctly predicting that Germany would beat Algeria in the World Cup Round of 16. Nelly the Elephant has made her latest prediction.

And this time, she's really tested herself by picking the winner of Germany versus France.

The team who's goal she kicks the ball into can expect defeat but judging by this it's going to be dramatic.

So the frame of the goal could be involved but it will be Germany who reach the semi-final according to Nelly.

SOUNDBITE (German) Karl Kock, Zookeeper:

"The ball hit the goal post, that also happens in matches, and then the ball bounced back - but then she kicked it in."

SOUNDBITE (German) Karl Kock, Zookeeper:

"Nelly did not go that far that they become world champions, but Germany will win on Friday, no doubt about it, Nelly has a feel for that."

The elephant's reward is a banana, the prize for Germany winning could well be a semi-final against hosts Brazil in Belo Horizonte
