After Spain’s 0-2 victory over France in the first semi-final of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, a five-year-old post has been re-circulated on social media.
In July 2021, a user X (ex-Twitter) claimed that Argentina would beat Spain 2-3 in the 2026 World Cup final to win the title.
Argentina beat Spain 3-2 in the 2026 World Cup final.

An important part of this prediction was proven correct as Spain actually reached the final of the World Cup.
On the other hand, the championship match between Argentina and England in the semi-final was also the center of attention of the fans.
If Argentina win, they will face Spain in the final, after which the validity of this old prediction that went viral on social media can be further debated.

Now it can be seen how true this prediction made 5 years ago turns out to be.
Will Argentina win today and advance to the final and then beat Spain or will it be the other way around?
