An old tweet regarding the winner of the FIFA World Cup 2026 has gone viral after Spain qualified for the final.

The tweet posted by, actuallyimthe, on July 11, 2021, predicted that Argentina would beat Spain 3-2 in the 2026 World Cup final.

It resurfaced after Spain advanced to the final, with Argentina set to play England in the semifinals.

Thousands of football fans worldwide have reacted to the tweet.

“Anyone here in 2026?,” said an X user commenting on the 2021 tweet.

Another wrote “You tweeted this before world cup 2022, who's your source please?”

If Argentina beat England win and then beats Spain 3-2 in the final, the 5-year-old tweet will be eerily accurate.

England face Argentina in the World Cup semifinals on Wednesday July 15, 2026.
