OUTCOME
CONFIRMED FALSESpain won the 2026 FIFA World Cup, defeating Argentina 1-0 after extra time on July 19, 2026, with Ferran Torres scoring the decisive goal. Netherlands did not win the tournament, making Cowherd's prediction definitively wrong. The prediction was fully resolved well before the July 20 deadline.
