DUBAI, July 13 (Gulf News): The legend of Dubai's World Cup predictor continues to grow, with Shawk the Hawk carrying a flawless 100 per cent knockout prediction record into the tournament's semi-finals.
His knockout journey began in impressive fashion in the Round of 32, where the feathered predictor correctly called six matches.
Among its standout picks were Egypt's win over Australia, Spain's win against Austria, and Morocco's triumph over the Netherlands, setting the tone for what would become a remarkable knockout-stage run.
After breezing through the Round of 32 with a perfect set of predictions, Shawk the Hawk decided a well-earned rest was in order.
Refreshed and ready for the next challenge, the master predictor returned to action in the quarter-finals and picked up right where he left off.
The Gulf News forecaster continued its perfect run by correctly predicting Spain's victory over Belgium, England's win against Norway, and France's triumph over Morocco.
With three more knockout calls added to its tally, Shawk's remarkable World Cup streak remains firmly intact heading into the semi-finals. Whether he returns for the semi-finals remains to be seen, but one thing is certain, there is very little separating the four teams still standing.
