A fact is something that HAS happened. I don't think I drank that much last night that I passed out and it's now Monday.
a fact is not something that has happened . if I add 1 and 1 it will be 2 , now I haven't factually , but if i do the result is already a fact. so get your facts right before you start giving factual definitions on facts and the meaning of so
No, in the point you were making, I was infact correct in saying a fact is something that has happened. Refering to a football result (or style of play) that has not happened yet is speculation and not fact.
