👀 AI predicts top scorer, flop, podium and 2026 champions; see The 2026 World Cup is about to begin, and  OneFootball turned to artificial intelligence to find out its picks on key questions surrounding the tournament. Check out the predictions below and then share whether you agree or not . Top scorer ⚽ Mbappé 📸 SAMEER AL-DOUMY - AFP or licensors The Real forward is tipped to be the World Cup's top scorer — a feat that would be achieved with eight goals. The reasons? The high probability of France reaching the final, the fact that he takes penalties, and how often he shoots. Mbappé, it is worth remembering, has 12 World Cup goals and is aiming to become the top scorer in the tournament's history — a record currently held by Klose (16). Messi (13) is his rival. Disappointment 👎🏽 England 📸 Ryan Pierse - 2025 Getty Images The strength of the squad was highlighted, but this will not be the time the English team ends its long drought.

But the trophy will return to Europe, which will claim its 13th title. Champion 🏆 Spain 📸 OZAN KOSE - AFP or licensors The team of Yamal, Pedri & Co. is seen as the clear favorite for having a well-established playing identity, a dominant midfield, and wingers who decide matches, among other things. They will defeat a France side overflowing with talent, but one that will show a lower level of collective play than it is capable of.  So, do you agree? Share your opinion in the comments!
