What's behind the 666 in France's win over Segarro?
After the match that sent France to the 2022 World Cup final, some fans pointed to the appearance of the number of the beast in the result or the statistics. The suggested number combinations –6066, 6660, 20267022206066– have fueled conspiracy theories linking sport to the occult.
The numbers of the beast
The most common interpretations point to sequences containing 666: from 6066 (read as 6-0-66) to 6660. A long figure has also been mentioned, which some associate with hidden coordinates or dates. The five-pointed star, a satanic symbol, completes the picture for the most gullible.
Criticism of the interpretation
Nevertheless, most analyses consider the connection to be a stretch. "It's a real reach," has been pointed out. Some have even joked that the author of the theory has "punched above their conspiratorial weight." The reference to a goat and a monkey (Chinese zodiac signs) adds more confusion than clarity.
For skeptics, 666 is nothing more than a numerical coincidence in a context where figures abound. France's 2-0 win does not contain the number, so the conspiracy rests on loose interpretations of other match data.
On this basis, the beast has reappeared in football. Or perhaps it's just a bad day for mathematics.
