Bibhash Lodh, BS News Agency: The popular video game EA FC answered the question of who will be the champion of the football World Cup before the event. Before the start of this year's World Cup, EA Sports' simulation showed Spain as the champion. The prediction was also correct at the end of the World Cup. Spain won the World Cup title for the second time by defeating Argentina 1-0 in the final. EA FC's World Cup simulation released last June showed the World Cup trophy being lifted by the Yamalites. That is exactly what happened in reality.
After Spain's victory, EA Sports expressed its joy on social media and wrote, "We predicted it in advance. You played, and Spain made it a reality. Correct predictions five times in a row! Congratulations on the second star, Spain!"
EA Sports has been making 100% accurate predictions about who will win the World Cup trophy since 2010. This was their fifth consecutive successful prediction. Let's take a look at the list of EA Sports' magical records:
2010: Spain
2014: Germany
2018: France
2022: Argentina
2026: Spain
This series of successes began with the 2010 World Cup. Although the game was previously released under the license of FIFA, the world football governing body, due to the expiration of the contract, it is currently captivating gamers around the world under the name 'EA FC'.
In the 2026 final, neither team scored a goal in the scheduled 90 minutes. The match went into extra time. Finally, La Roja stunned Argentina with a dazzling goal from Ferran Torres in extra time. And with that, EA FC's virtual prediction once again became a visual reality amidst the jubilation of football fans.
