A team of gentoo penguins have been given the task of predicting the outcomes of matches at the World Cup.

Bosses at Birmingham's Sea Life Centre are hoping Alf, Lolly, Ginny and Pablo can emulate the success of Paul the psychic Octopus in 2010.

The mollusc correctly guessed the outcome of seven Germany matches during the 2010 tournament.

In this case, the penguins jump onto a rock to signify what they think the result will be.

Alf, Lolly and Ginny seem to think hosts Brazil will win tomorrow's first match against Croatia.

Meanwhile Alf apparently believes England will draw with Italy.

Pablo was seemingly less patriotic, jumping instead on Italy's rock.
