The president of France, Emmanuel Macron, not only predicted the correct score for his country’s World Cup win but also named all the goal scorers.

WHAT HAPPENED? France became the third team at the 2022 World Cup to qualify for the quarter-final stage after beating Poland 3-1. Not only did the country’s president predict that would be the final score, but he also correctly tipped Olivier Giroud, Kylian Mbappe and Robert Lewandowski to be amongst the goals.
WHAT THEY SAID: In an interview with Le Parisien on Saturday, Macron said: “I think we will win 3-1! Lewandowski will score one, just like Mbappe or maybe Giroud, who wants to make history.”
THE BIGGER PICTURE: France broke the deadlock just before halftime through Giroud – who became his nation’s all-time top goalscorer in the process – before Mbappe killed the game with two second-half goals, while Lewandowski scored a late consolation from the penalty spot.
