Lead Stories says: Edited List
Does a screenshot published on X accurately show the World Cup results predictions as they were pictured in a TikTok video? No, that's not true: The list of score predictions which appeared in a TikTok video has been altered. The TikTok prediction showed a score of "Mexico 3-1 South Africa" which proved to be incorrect. The actual score was Mexico 2-0 South Africa, the score shown in the edited screenshot.
The altered image appeared in a post (archived here) published on X by @Only1tommo on June 12, 2026, after the Mexico-South Africa game was finished. The post was captioned:
If you found out football was staged like WWE would you still watch it?
This would be an insane correct score prediction... Two scores correct so far

The scope of this fact check is not to scrutinize predictions: rather, it is to point out that a screenshot showing a list of predictions has been deceptively edited.
The screenshot (pictured above) of a TikTok video showing the handle of @Josh_Mufc89 has been altered. The original @Josh_Mufc89 video (archived here) was uploaded to TikTok on June 10, 2026. The Lead Stories composite image below shows a screenshot of the TikTok video (left panel) compared with the X post (right panel). The score for the Mexico-South Africa match has been changed from 3-1 to 2-0 -- the latter of which is the correct score of the June 11, 2026 match (archived here).
The prediction that South Korea would beat Czechia 2-1, as shown in the TikTok video was correct (archived here). The @Only1tommo post said that two of the predicted scores were correct so far, but only one was correct -- the other was edited.
