๐ The World Cup has already been won by the Netherlands. ๐ณ๐ฑ
"Congratulations to the Netherlands for finally winning the trophy that they should have won a long time ago. Keep the trophy safe for us Germans because we will come in four years to ask for it back." โ Joachim Klement, the financial analyst who correctly predicted the last 3 World Cup winners.
And before you scroll past โ this guy isn't just guessing. He built an economic model back in 2014, originally just to prove that economists can't predict anything. Then he correctly called Germany. Then France. Then Argentina.
3 World Cups. 3 correct predictions.
His 2026 pick? The Netherlands. Even he admits it "subjectively feels wrong" โ the bookies have them 8th at 19/1. But as he puts it: "the model is the model, and I trust the system."
The Dutch are statistically the greatest footballing nation never to have won it. Three finals. Three heartbreaks. 1974, 1978, 1998. Maybe 2026 is finally their year.
Do you believe in the model โ or is this where the streak ends? ๐ Drop your winner below.
