Google ‘predicts’ Qatar World Cup final teams – and it’s heartbreak for Gareth Southgate’s England

GOOGLE have predicted the finalists for this year’s Qatar World Cup final… and England aren’t in it.

After an awful run of results, the nation was already doubting England’s chance of success at reaching the Lusail Stadium showpiece on December 18.

And now search engine giants Google have confirmed everyone’s worst fears by revealing Gareth Southgate’s men will fall before the final.

Argentine outlet AS found out that if a user searched for ‘events Lusail stadium’ on Google, they were met with all the fixtures being played at that ground during the tournament.

While the six group games, round of 16, quarter and semi was as expected, the final showed ‘Brazil v France’.

Whether it was a mistake or a premonition remains to be seen – but it seems Google is predicting a clash between the Samba Boys and Les Bleus.

Hours later, Google corrected the error and ‘TBC v TBC’ now shows.

The Google prediction came shortly before the Three Lions produced a rousing Wembley comeback against Germany in their last game before heading to Qatar.

For 70 minutes, Southgate’s side meandered towards a drab, uninspiring defeat in their final match before jetting out to the Middle East in under two months.

But with England trailing 2-0, things got a little bonkers.

Over the next 20 minutes, Southgate’s men produced a stunning fightback through goals from Luke Shaw, Mason Mount and Harry Kane.

Unfortunately, Nick Pope’s flap allowed Kai Havertz to equalise in the 87th minute.

But despite the result, the rousing comeback has injected some much needed optimism back into England fans with the World Cup just around the corner.
