OUTCOME
CONFIRMED FALSESpain defeated Argentina 1-0 in extra time in the 2026 FIFA World Cup final on July 19, 2026, with Ferran Torres scoring the only goal in the 106th minute. Argentina reached the final but ultimately lost, meaning Nick Wright's prediction that Argentina would win the tournament was incorrect. Argentina managed zero shots on target in the final, directly contradicting the claim about their goal-scoring ability being a decisive advantage.
