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.
