The World Cup games in Qatar came to an end this Sunday, the 18th, with Argentina being the great champion for the third time in its history. However, what surprised everyone was the prediction made by the video game FIFA 23, which clinched the victory of the team commanded by Lionel Messi in the biggest football competition in the world. Check the score below:
During the event, EA Games, the game’s developer, released a simulation of all World Cup matches. In this test made before the start of the competition, it showed that Brazil was defeated by the Argentine national team by 1×0 in the big decision. Today, we know that the prediction was not 100% assertive, since the Brazilian team was eliminated in the quarterfinals, and Argentina disputed the cup against the French team.
The most bizarre issue is that, when predicting the victory of the brothers, this became the fourth consecutive time that the simulation scoreboard guessed who would take the cup home. In 2010, Spain won the title, Germany in 2014 and, in 2018, France emerged victorious – all predicted by the game. Check below the post made by the official profile of EA Sports on twitter:
Now, it remains to wait another four years for the World Cup games in 2026. For the tournament’s orphans, FIFA 23 is available for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PC on digital platforms, and has women’s football clubs for the first time within the universe of the game, in addition to new players.
