The five-year-old post first blew up after France were defeated by Spain on Tuesday night, but now Argentina are confirmed for the final, it’s one step closer to coming true.
It comes after another self-proclaimed time traveller’s prediction fell short.
A TikTok time traveller claimed in June that Mexico would win the World Cup after beating Argentina in the final.
Social media user Tona Multiverso claimed the co-host nation will beat the reigning world champions on penalties following a 1 – 1 draw.
He said Argentina would miss the final spot kick, resulting in Mexico becoming champions.
But England knocked Mexico out of the tournament at the co-host nation’s own Azteca stadium, proving that prediction wrong.
It comes after gloating Argentina fans set fire to England flags and waved around St George’s Cross coffins as millions celebrated their win in Buenos Aires.
The sacrilegious acts were among several vile stunts by the Argentines after government officials, fans and the players all made insulting gestures over the Falkland Islands.
Flares were set off as the streets were flooded in light blue – but some disrespectful supporters quickly took the celebrations too far.
The desecrated flags were then left in seriously charred heaps on the ground as thousands trampled over them.
Other images show a select few fans holding red and white cross cutouts depicting coffins.
Songs referencing the Falklands War, which claimed the lives of over 900 soldiers the UK and Argentina, were also chanted late into the night.
