The young man, who has earned his reputation for making 29 accurate predictions, including some high-profile games in the 2026 World Cup like Germany versus Paraguay and Morocco versus Netherlands, called results that left many online followers in disbelief.
The 2026 FIFA World Cup final will be held at the MetLife Stadium (temporarily known as the New York-New Jersey Stadium) in the US on Sunday, July 19, 2026.
The game is expected to be a tough contest between the reigning European champions, Spain, and the reigning South American and World Champions, Argentina.
Spain, who defeated France in the semifinals to progress to the final, are looking to win their second-ever FIFA World Cup trophy since their infamous first triumph in South Africa in 2010 over the Netherlands.
Argentina, on the other hand, led by Lionel Messi, arguably one of the greatest players in football history, are looking to win their fourth World Cup.
A win for La Albiceleste will earn them a place in the history books as the third nation behind Italy and Brazil to win the World Cup in consecutive editions.
Man predicts winner of Argentina versus Spain
With the tournament heading towards its climax, Samixx has set his sights on what many football fans consider the most anticipated fixture of the competition.
He has named a winner in the Argentina versus Spain matchup, adding yet another bold call to his growing list of forecasts.
In a commentary in his YouTube video, he predicted that Lionel Messi would be the FIFA World Cup tournament's top scorer and ultimately lead Argentina to victory in the final against Spain.
He said:
"Bro. My heart says Argentina, but my head says Spain because Spain is just promising. But Argentina are very good. They're literally the best team in South America. But the winner of the 2026 FIFA World Cup is going to be Argentina."
The prediction has reignited debate online, with some admirers convinced his run of accurate calls cannot be coincidental, while sceptics argue that luck plays a far greater role than insight in forecasting football results.
