EA Sports has predicted the winner of the 2018 World Cup final using FIFA 18 and you might be surprised by the result.

With the FIFA 18 World Cup free update available for download from today, Tuesday 29 May, you too can determine who wins the tournament. But EA's prediction is that the eventual winner will be... dum, dum, dum... France.

Sorry England fans, according to the simulation, Gareth Southgate's mixture of young and old will not even get to the semi-finals.

Instead, the semis, according to the prediction, will be played by France and Belgium, plus Germany and Spain. France will beat Belgium 2-1, while Germany will defeat Spain 3-1 to set up a tight World Cup final.

France then went on to beat Germany on penalties in the shoot-out after a hard fought draw.
