A self-proclaimed "time traveler" has shocked social media users after posting a video of what they claim to be the World Cup final, which is set to take place on December 18.

The men's FIFA World Cup began in Qatar earlier this month, and while controversy follows the tournament and the host nation, many fans have been able to enjoy the quality of the soccer on the pitch.

Whether it's Saudi Arabia conquering favorites Argentina, or Japan causing a big upset to Germany, it has been a tournament full of surprises.

The biggest surprise of all, however, might be that the winner of the tournament has already been announced... That is, if you are to believe a TikToker who dubs themself a true time traveler. In fact, they even shared footage of what they claim is from the  2022 World Cup final.

The mysterious video was posted by @worldcuptimetraveller on TikTok, where they declare that Brazil is the eventual winner in Qatar. They write in the new prediction: "Brazil just beat France in the 2022 World Cup Final. I am a time traveler."

And although you may think it is all nonsense, it certainly raises an eyebrow when you learn that the same account correctly predicted that Italy would get the better of England in the final of Euro 2020.

The new eerie video shows the Brazilian team in jubilant celebrations along with fans in the stands, whilst French striker Olivier Giroud is left looking rather forlorn.

If the video is to be believed, Brazil gets the better of the current world champions 2-1, with Griezmann netting for the French whilst Marquinhos and Richarlison are the heroes bagging the goals to bring the trophy to South America.

Viewers of the video were divided by the footage, with some naturally being skeptical.

In fact, some performed some deep detective work, with one person saying: "Isn't that the celebration from Richarlison [de Andrade] goal celebration tho? [sic]" with another adding: "The celebrations would not be so mild in the final are you kidding."

Other fans indulged the idea that the author of the video could be a time traveler, with a third saying: "Why does it look so … real," and a fourth confirmed: "He got it right on euro 2020 btw."

Both Brazil and France are yet to lose a game at the tournament at the time of writing, so a final between the two nations doesn't seem too far-fetched.
