Google accidentally confirms finalists of FIFA World Cup 2022, rectifies mistake later

In a weird mistake, the Google search engine showed Brazil and France as the two finalists of the upcoming World Cup in Qatar on Monday (September 26).

For a brief period on Monday, a search query of – ‘Lusail Stadium events’ showed Brazil vs France listed as the final of the FIFA World Cup 2022 on December 18. While it remains unclear if it was a technical error on part of the search engine, the mistake was rectified within a few hours.
