Following the wins in the World Cup round of 16, a supercomputer has predicted how the 2026 World Cup will play out giving where all remaining teams will finish. Argentian won the trophy in 2022 \u2013 now, they could<\/strong> retain it.<\/strong><\/p>\n According to calcuations run by a supercomputer, in association with British Gambler, the reigning World Cup champions are going to win football\u2019s biggest prize once again.<\/p>\n Coming out as winners in 22.8% of the 1,000 simulations, they just beat out France, who won in 21.3% of the predictions. England, meanwhile, were lagging behind, winning in just 12.6% of them. Spain were in third place, having been estimated to win in 17.8% of all the simulations that were ran. <\/p>\n But how will Argentina reach the final \u2013 and who will they take on when they get there? The supercomputer figured all this out \u2013 let\u2019s take a look.<\/p>\n Several of Argentina\u2019s top stars are currently playing in the Premier League. For example, Lisandro Martinez plays for Manchester United, Alexis Mac Allister plays for Liverpool, while Cristian Romero and Marcos Senesi both represent Tottenham \u2013 can they bring it home once against for their country? <\/p>\n Argentina are set to win their quarter-final against Switzerland by a score of 2-1, in a game scheduled to take place in on July 12 at the Kansas City Stadium.<\/p>\n Following this, La Albiceleste will take on England in the semi-finals. For context, the supercomputer is expecting England to make it beyond Norway, winning by a narrow margin of 1-0 against Erling Haaland\u2019s team.<\/p>\n However, the shoe will be on the other foot in the semis. The supercomputer believes that Argentina will overcome their bitter rivals, again, by a score of 1-0. <\/p>\n Then, in the final, Argentina are predicted to face tournament favourites France in a re-run of the 2022 World Cup final. Once again, Argentina are expected to emerge victorious.<\/p>\n Before we delve into that, however, let\u2019s rewind a bit. France will take on Morocco in their quarter-final matchup, where they\u2019re expected to win by a score of 2-0. <\/p>\n Then, in the semi-finals, they\u2019re predicted to beat Spain in a 3-2 barn-burner. This would be quite a surprise \u2013 Spain haven\u2019t conceded a single goal in the 2026 World Cup as of yet.<\/p>\n Let\u2019s get back to the final. While their 2022 clash was an all-time classic, the 2026 iteration might not be quite so climactic \u2013 Argentina are pegged to beat France by a score of 2-1.<\/p>\n Alex Kostin, a spokesperson for British Gambler, said: \u201cOur supercomputer simulated the rest of the 2026 World Cup 1,000 times using the current quarter-final bracket \u2013 and this is the single most likely path to the trophy produced by our model.<\/p>\n \u201cArgentina versus France would be a mouth-watering repeat of the 2022 Final, and with Lionel Messi playing what is almost certainly his last World Cup, the emotional weight behind an Argentina triumph shouldn\u2019t be underestimated by either the model or the neutral fan.<\/p>\n \u201cEngland\u2019s projected semi-final exit to Argentina will be a familiar and painful story for supporters, but reaching the last four itself would represent a strong tournament for Thomas Tuchel\u2019s side.\u201d<\/p>\n \n <\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Following the wins in the World Cup round of 16, a supercomputer has predicted how…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":15709,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pagelayer_contact_templates":[],"_pagelayer_content":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15708","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-chelsea"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15708","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=15708"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15708\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/15709"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=15708"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=15708"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=15708"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}How will Argentina win the 2026 World Cup according to the supercomputer?<\/h2>\n
