A woman is convinced that she has found a way to predict who will win this year's FIFA World Cup.
The competition is now well under way in Mexico, Canada, and the US, with the group stages still ongoing before moving into the knockout.
It's still anyone's guess who will be taking home the coveted trophy this year, but content creator Paige reckons that she's figured out just who it might be.
This is because she claimed that a FIFA 'script' is out there showing the winning team 'right in front of our faces'.

It comes down to a strange conspiracy theory to do with the colors on the World Cup logo each year.
"What you might not know is that every World Cup has it's official colors," said Paige. "And those colors just happen to correlate with the winner every single year for at least the last three."
Paige has now opened up to UNILAD about how she spotted this strange trend.
She explained that it all comes down to a parallel with the Super Bowl logo, which also has its own colors that match those of the winning team.
"I realized FIFA has official colors so I looked at the 2022 World Cup colors and they were legitimately the same colors as Argentina," she told us.
Her curiosity piqued, she decided to dig a little deeper and see if this strange occurrence had happened on any other occasions.
And when she looked, she saw that it had gone back to 2014.
"I dug deeper and all the colors matched the winners actually going further than I did in the video the 2014 cup colors and winner also align," Paige said.
These included matches in 2022 with Argentina, and then again in 2018 with France as well.
"Crazy coincidence orrr is there something there?" she said.
Nonetheless, Paige did clarify that she's still taking this strange theory with a hefty pinch of salt, saying it's 'all for fun'.
"It’s really all for fun so I wouldn’t put too much stock in it but ya never know!" the TikToker added.
As for this year, according to Paige's color theory the team which can best hope to win is Portugal, as the team colors best match those of the official logo this time around.
"With soccer you can never been too sure, truly anyone can win (and anyone can lose)," she said. "But Portugal is already a top five favorite to win so with the FIFA color theory I’d say I’m 74.3 percent confident they could win the whole thing."
Will the color theory be proved correct? Only time will tell!
