Footage shared by farm All Things Wild in Worcestershire on Friday (4 July) shows the animal trotting up to two feeding stations - one adorned with an England Flag and the other with a French.

Matt Parker, zoo manager at All Things Wild, said: "Russo really is the goat when it comes to making decisions and is one of our more confident animals, so it would not surprise me in the slightest if her predictions turned out to be correct.”
