It's been a week since the World Cup ended, but misleading claims and conspiracies surrounding the tournament have continued in full force.
The vast majority concern Spain's victory over Argentina in the final, in which La Roja won 1-0, and the controversies that have cast a shadow over the South American side during and after the competition.
One post that has racked up almost 4 million views alleges that global football governing body FIFA "needed a European champion".
It says that FIFA President Gianni Infantino made a deal with UEFA, Europe's football governing body, to ensure Spain won the World Cup in return for its support for his re-election in 2027.
Infantino announced in April that he would stand to be president again. If re-elected, it would be his fourth term.
