Moo Deng's World Cup prediction streak remains perfectly wrong, three for three, after she picked Argentina to beat Spain in the final.
The curtain came down in style on the 2026 Fifa World Cup, with Spain edging Argentina 1-0 in extra time to claim their second world title. In the third-place play-off, England saw off France in a thrilling 6-4 encounter.
Amid the excitement among football fans worldwide, Thai social media found its own reason to smile. Popular Facebook page "Kha Moo & The Gang" posted an adorable photo of celebrity pygmy hippo Moo Deng eating a watermelon marked with the shortened country name "ARG", along with a cheeky caption summing up her World Cup prediction record.
The page put it bluntly: "Moo Deng's prediction rate: 100%. She predicted three matches and got none of them right."
Moo Deng had earlier picked France to beat Spain and England to down Argentina, and been wrong each time.
The self-deprecating post charmed fans, who flooded the comments section, poking fun at the page admin's honesty about Moo Deng's flop of a forecasting career. One poster joked, "Maybe she was supposed to eat the losing side."
