SOCHI, Russia (Reuters) - Russia's phenomenal run in the World Cup is about to take a hit -- at least if you believe in Harry, a so-called "oracle" otter in Sochi who correctly forecast the hosts' first two victories in the tournament.

After trouncing Saudi Arabia 5-0 and then beating Egypt 3-1, Group A leaders Russia will lose to South American powerhouse Uruguay on Monday, Harry was interpreted as predicting.
