WC PROGNOSTICATION: Will Brazil & Mexico win their matches on Sun vs Norway & England, respectively?
65% of users predicted NO — the community got this one right. 34 predictions cast.
Neither Brazil nor Mexico advanced, so the paired prediction resolved No. On July 5, 2026, Norway beat Brazil 2-1 in East Rutherford, New Jersey, with Erling Haaland scoring in the 79th and 90th minutes; Neymar's stoppage-time penalty was not enough to save the five-time champions. It was Norway's first appearance in a World Cup quarterfinal. In the other Round of 16 leg, England eliminated Mexico 3-2 at Estadio Azteca. Jude Bellingham scored twice within roughly 98 seconds in the first half and Harry Kane converted a penalty, while Julian Quinones and Raul Jimenez replied for the hosts, whose run ended after they had not conceded across their first four matches of the tournament.
Because the prediction required both favored sides to win and both instead lost on the same weekend, the condition failed on either leg. Brazil's exit extended a difficult stretch for the Selecao, while Mexico's defeat closed out a home World Cup that had reached the last 16.
The Predict Six community read this correctly: only 35 percent voted Yes, so the majority anticipated that at least one of the two would fall. England advanced to face Norway in the quarterfinals.
