Final: Argentina to beat Spain 3-2 — 2021 tweet prediction comes true?

In July 2021, an X user (@actuallyimthe) posted a prediction that Argentina would beat Spain 3-2 in the 2026 FIFA World Cup Final. The post went viral in July 2026 after Spain reached the final, accumulating over 150,000 likes. Is the script already written?

This market will resolve to "YES" if Argentina defeats Spain with a final score of 3-2 during regular time (90 minutes plus stoppage time only) in the 2026 FIFA World Cup Final scheduled for July 19, 2026, 19:00 UTC. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "NO."

The final score and timing of goals will be determined using the goal times shown in the Live Blog section of the official FIFA.com match report page for this specific game. Goals logged before any "START EXTRA TIME" entry will be considered as scored during regular time.

Goals scored in extra time or penalty shootouts do not count.

If the match is not played and completed with an official result by September 19, 2026, 12:00 UTC, this market will resolve to "NO."

If the data on the website is unavailable for 72 hours after the match is completed, a consensus of credible reporting will be used.
