After more than one month and 104 matches, we have finally concluded the 2026 World Cup!
Let's review my final set of predictions!
- France vs England: France to win - WRONG
- Spain vs Argentina: Argentina to win - WRONG
Ouch. I got both wrong. But both matches were somewhat of a drama in their own way.
So my final tally is: 20 out of 32 correct
That's all the way from Round of 32 to the Finals. I wouldn't say this is impressive, in fact that's about 62.5% accurate. But at least that's better than 50%, which is like a coin toss. Haha.
Back to the World Cup, I mentioned previously that I didn't have a favourite team that I supported or wanted to win, so it was a pure entertainment event for me. And I think it definitely ticked all the boxes for entertainment value, controversies, goals, and the number of matches! Maybe having 48 teams isn't as bad as I thought... But now the authorities are thinking about 64 teams!? We might as well have a global competition in that case. Haha.
With that, see you guys in 4 years time! Thanks for following my journey of predictions this time too!
