It has come to everyone’s attention that a football aficionado using the microblogging Twitter and going by the moniker Jose Miguel Polanco made a perfect prediction regarding the result of Lionel Messi winning the world cup in 2022
Approximately four hours before Argentina’s must-win match against Poland, the fan made the audacious prediction that Messi would fail to make the save from the penalty spot. Meanwhile another tweet way back from 2015 of Jose Miguel Polanco right after the world cup in Qatar was announced talking about Messi winning in 2022 has gone viral.
Twitter User Jose Miguel Polanco Tweet From 2015 Predicting Lionel Messi Would Win The FIFA World Cup On December 18 2022 Goes Viral
December 18, 2022. 34 year old Leo Messi will win the World Cup and become the greatest player of all times. Check back with me in 7 years.

For good measure, La Albiceleste’s make-or-break tie against Poland was scheduled for 7:00 pm GMT at Stadium 974. Considering Messi’s perfect record from the penalty spot at this year’s FIFA World Cup, his forecast was incredibly ludicrous. However, Argentina was given a controversial penalty kick, and Lionel Messi stepped up to add to his goal count from 12 yards out. It is unclear if this was done intentionally or by accident.
Today Messi will miss a penalty

However, Poland’s goalkeeper Wojciech Szczny made a fantastic save with his right hand to prevent the 35-year-old from scoring from the penalty spot, which invariably validated the forecast made by the user of Twitter. After Messi’s unbelievable miss, followers flocked to @Fede15i’s timeline to praise him for amazingly getting his prediction right.

Leo Messi Misses Penalty According To The Prediction
Lionel Messi missed a crucial penalty against Poland in the first half of a must-win final group game at the 2022 World Cup. The game was between Argentina and Poland.
After Argentina’s shocking loss to Saudi Arabia, the 35-year-old genius led La Albiceleste to a 2-0 win over Mexico. This showed how important he was.
Messi, who has been Argentina’s best goal scorer, took the blame for the penalty that seemed to be unfair.
Lionel Messi Makes A New Mark
Lionel Messi played for Argentina against Poland and became the player with the most World Cup caps in history. The star player for Paris Saint-Germain led La Albiceleste in their huge tie against Robert Lewandowski’s team in Group C’s last game.
The Argentine genius started along with Julian Alvarez, a forward for Manchester City, and Angel Di Maria, a winger for Juventus, in a deadly attacking trio.
