And England have beaten Germany!
Well, that's what some mystic mice in Kent have predicted for tonight's Euro 2020 crunch match.
Mystic mice from the RSPCA Leybourne Animal Centre predict an England victory
As footy fans across the country wait anxiously for 5pm and Gareth Southgate's men to take on our old foes in the knockout stages, some baby mice are hoping to ease our nerves.
The RSPCA Leybourne Animal Centre in West Malling has been putting forward some of its tenants to predict England's matches at the Euros.
So far we have seen an appearance from Collie crossbreed Gem, who correctly predicted a win over World Cup enemies Croatia and Fred the ferret who wrongly forecast a shock win for the Scots in our group game.
Now, a horde of baby mice have stepped up and prophesied that England will beat the Germans tonight.
The video was filmed in the mouse enclosure where two flags were stuck above their food bowls. The rodents could be seen heading towards the English bowl, no doubt to the delight of millions of fans around the country.
The centre has been using the predictions as a fun way of trying to help the animals get rehomed.
Kent's football fanatic animals don't always have to be furry - or real - as Maidstone's Iggy the dinosaur will tell you.
The black metal dino at the junction of the A20 and New Cut Road in Bearsted has been covered in flags, inflatable gloves and England colours by fans.
Stephanic Cole captured the kitted out Iggy as she travelled along the road.
She said: "I've loved seeing all the different outfits on it and how it's gradually been added to.
"I'm not really a football fan but put it online to cheer people up and others have seemed to love it."
Kent's 'psychic' animals join the likes of a mystic octopus, elephant, panda and kangaroo as some of the world's foreseeing powers.
Paul the octopus hit headlines in 2010 with his eerily accurate predictions during the World Cup in South Africa.
Throughout the tournament he achieved an 85% success rate and even prompted an Argentine chef to post an octopus recipe when he correctly predicted the Germans to knock them out.
However, Paul wasn't a match for Nelly the elephant whose accuracy and longevity trumped the eight-tentacled sea creature.
During the 2006 Women's World Cup, 2008 European Championships and 2010 World Cup she correctly kicked a giant inflatable ball into nets marked with a country 30 out of 33 times.
During Euro 2012 Kent's very own Mystic Mog Leon finished the tournament with a 90% success rate.
The Canterbury Tonkinese cat correctly backed Spain to win the final and earned his owner £120 over the course of the tournament as he backed his feline's guesses with a £5 bet.
