ARIn the lead-up to the 2026 World Cup final between Argentina and Spain, a cat named Billy Heartnose, known for predicting several tournament victories, has chosen Spain as the winner. The match is scheduled for July 19 at 15:00 Eastern Time in the United States. Despite his viral popularity for accurate predictions, Billy has had some misses, such as incorrectly forecasting England’s victory over Argentina in the semifinals and France’s win in another match. According to his owner, Linka Lin, the cat has an 80% success rate, though this has decreased from earlier in the tournament. Other pets like dog Bug and sausage dog Elfi have also gained attention but have yet to make their predictions for this final. The match will be broadcast on FOX in English and Telemundo in Spanish, with streaming available via Peacock. In New York City, those without tickets can attend a special event in Central Park organized by Mayor Zohran Mamdani. Historically, Argentina and Spain have only faced off once in 1966, with Argentina winning 2-1.
