FIFA WC: Leaf Cutter ants predict the outcome of the match between England and Panama

Leaf Cutter ants at Cannon Hall Farm in Yorkshire race along a rope carrying flags to predict the outcome of the World Cup match between England and Panama. The ants set off from the middle of a 36-meter length of rope, racing to see which team would be first to carry their flag back to the queen in their nest, with England supporting ants being first to make it home, predicting a victory for England in their match on Sunday.
