ChatGPT Predicts the World Cup Semi-Final Results and the Final

Just a bit of fun, but we asked ChatGPT to give us the rest of the week off and tell is what's going to happen across the rest of the FIFA World Cup 2026. It's good news for England...

World Cup SF1: France 2–1 Spain (AET)

Goalscorers

• ⚽ Kylian Mbappé (29')

• ⚽ Lamine Yamal (63')

• ⚽ Ousmane Dembélé (108')

Prediction: Spain will probably dominate possession for long spells, with Yamal causing problems down the right. France, however, have looked ruthless on the counter-attack and possess arguably the deepest squad left in the tournament. Mbappé strikes first, Yamal equalises with a moment of brilliance, and Dembélé settles it in extra time after France's bench makes the difference.

World Cup SF2 - England 2–1 Argentina

Goalscorers

• ⚽ Julián Álvarez (18')

• ⚽ Harry Kane (41 pen)

• ⚽ Jude Bellingham (79')

Prediction: Argentina's experience and Lionel Messi's creativity mean England won't have everything their own way, but England's athleticism in midfield could prove decisive. Argentina to score first through Álvarez before Kane equalises from the spot. Bellingham has already produced big moments in this tournament, and he'll arrive late into the box to score the winner in the closing stages.

WORLD CUP FINAL: England 2–1 France (AET)

Goalscorers

• ⚽ Kylian Mbappé — 27'

• ⚽ Harry Kane — 64'

• ⚽ Jude Bellingham — 109'

Prediction: France make the stronger start and take the lead when Mbappé finds space behind England’s defence, cutting inside before finishing low across the goalkeeper.

England remain patient rather than chasing the game recklessly. Declan Rice and Jude Bellingham gradually begin to impose themselves in midfield, while England look increasingly dangerous from set pieces and crosses into the penalty area.

The equaliser arrives midway through the second half. Bukayo Saka creates space on the right and delivers into the box, where Kane gets ahead of his marker to score with a powerful header.

France threaten to win it in normal time, but England survive several nervous moments and take the final into extra time.

With both teams tiring, Bellingham produces the decisive moment. He drives forward from midfield, exchanges passes with Saka and finishes from the edge of the area to put England ahead.

France launch one final assault, but England defend their penalty area courageously and hold on through several minutes of stoppage time.

IT MIGHT BE WORTH WATCHING AFTER ALL!
