Football World Cup matches results have seen predictions from pundits to an octopus predicting the winner of the 2014 edition to an otter picking Japan over Germany but the recent predictor to come to light surpasses all of them by a country mile. Tiktok user by the name ‘worldcuptimetraveller’ claims to be a time traveller as the name suggests and insists that they know the result of the final of the Qatar World Cup.
The self-described time traveller has even shared an alleged footage of the final between Brazil and France where Brazil beat France by 2-1. The so-called time traveller is not considered an average Joe as in the past the individual's predictions have proven correct. This Doctor Who wannabe has made a number of correct predictions in the past - including England's 4-0 win against Ukraine at Euro 2020 and also the final of the Euro 2020 where they shared a clip showing Italy winning the final 2-1, which came true just weeks later.
Now the same user has supposedly travelled in the future and has clips where Brazil is seen as the winner with their 20 years of wait for a World Cup coming to an end. In the final, the time traveller is backing Marquinhos to open the scoring followed by Antoine Griezmann equalising just before half-time. Richarlison then scores the late winner to break French hearts and end Brazil's 20-year wait for World Cup success.
The short but sensational clip with has amassed a whopping reach of two million likes, the TikTok user said: "Brazil just beat France at the 2022 World Cup final. I'm a time traveller."
The user added in the caption that they were "helping you out like last year" about a video they made for the Euro 2020 final.
Time traveller exposed?
People in the comment section were amazed and excited if the prediction comes true or not but many were skeptical of it and were quick to call the bluff. The Brazilian fans celebrating in the clip were actually taken from Richarlison's goal in their opening World Cup match against Serbia. The video is mostly just clips of players and fans celebrating, rather than any footage of future goals. There's also no footage of Brazil lifting their long-awaited sixth World Cup.
According to many, it is a typical clout-chasing technique on the internet, some TikTok experts believe certain accounts make multiple prediction videos with different scores and keep them private until the game is played. That way, they can delete all the false predictions and promote the correct one with an old time stamp.
