				    <![CDATA[After 104 matches, the 2026 FIFA World Cup has officially come to an end, with Spain topping Argentina 1-0 in extra time in the championship match. The victory gave Spain its second-ever World Cup title, and also extended La Roja's unbeaten run to 38 consecutive matches (28 wins, 10 draws), the longest known unbeaten streak by any men’s national team in history. Now we set our sights on four years from now. Let's take a look at the opening odds to win the 2030 FIFA World Cup at DraftKings Sportsbook as of July 19.

The outlook is especially promising with a young core expected to remain together, led by Lamine Yamal, who will be just 23 years old at the next World Cup. In addition, Pau Cubarsí will remain in the fold, after winning the Young Player of the Tournament award this go-round. The USA: On home soil this summer, the U.S. won its first World Cup knockout match since 2002, captivating the nation with one of the program’s most memorable tournament runs. Unfortunately, after winning three World Cup matches for the first time in history, the Stars and Stripes fell to Belgium 4-1 in the Round of 16.

				    <![CDATA[The greatest of all time. Lionel Messi came up one win short of another World Cup title, bringing an unforgettable tournament run to a heartbreaking finish. After Argentina fell to Spain in extra-time of the 2026 FIFA World Cup final, Messi once again left his mark on the sport’s biggest stage. Across six World Cup appearances, Messi has led Argentina to the quarterfinals or better five times and reached the final three times. His résumé now includes six World Cup appearances, 34 matches, 21 goals, 12 assists and countless records, many of which he extended during this historic tournament. His legacy on the tournament’s biggest stage is unlike anything the sport has ever seen. Here’s a detailed look back at Messi’s remarkable World Cup career, beginning with his all-time tournament records before revisiting each of his six appearances.

				    <![CDATA[Six weeks ago, sportsbooks across the U.S. harbored high hopes of strong betting engagement on World Cup odds. And as the tournament ended Sunday, with Spain beating Argentina 1-0 in overtime in the final, those hopes were greatly exceeded. Neil Walsh, Hard Rock Bet’s Senior Vice President-Sportsbook, certainly spoke for many operators. "This World Cup will go down as the biggest betting event in American history. We're talking the equivalent of 10 Super Bowls," Walsh said. "A sport we were once told Americans would not embrace turned into one for the history books. "The whole country wanted in." Oddsmakers from across the nation chime in on how the books and the bettors did on Spain vs. Argentina odds and World Cup wagering as a whole. This page may contain affiliate links to legal sports betting partners. If you sign up or place a wager, FOX Sports may be compensated. Read more about Sports Betting on FOX Sports. Result Punishes the Public Several bookmakers weighed in pre-match on Sunday, noting that underdog Argentina was taking the bulk of action in both of the key markets. Lionel Messi &amp; Co. were popular with the public betting masses on the three-way moneyline — to win the match in 90 minutes plus injury time — and Argentina was the popular play in the To Lift The Trophy market, which includes overtime and, if necessary, a penalty-kick shootout. So bettors first got beat up by the 0-0 regulation draw. That meant the books scooped up all the Spain and Argentina money in the three-way market. Then Spain went up 1-0 on Ferran Torres’ goal in the 106th minute, and made it hold up for the rest of overtime. That squelched all the Argentina To Lift The Trophy bets. "That was about our best-case scenario, when factoring in the game result, props, futures, etc.," said John Murray, vice president of The SuperBook. "It was a very good finish to the tournament for us." On Friday, Caesars Sports head of soccer trading Mark Bickerdike said overtime was absolutely the book’s rooting interest. "Let’s see 120 minutes on that clock." Further, Caesars wanted Spain. So Bickerdike got his wish on both counts. "A 0-0 draw through regulation time meant it was a good day for the book," Bickerdike said postgame. "Bettors favored Argentina in both the [three-way] betting and To Lift The Trophy markets, pre-match and in-play. "There were also plenty of tickets written on Lionel Messi and Lamine Yamal to score, resulting in positive outcomes across our straight-bet markets and same-game parlay product." Records Tumble Again With each big match — all the USA contests, England vs. Mexico in the Round of 16, and the riveting quarterfinals and semifinals — Caesars Sports saw records made and then broken for tickets and money wagered. Then the Spain-Argentina championship match outdid all the previous marks set since June 11 in this 48-team tournament. "The World Cup final delivered the biggest soccer betting event in Caesars Sportsbook history," Bickerdike said. "Interest was off the charts before kickoff, with pre-match wagering already surpassing our previous tournament record. "By the final whistle, the match had set new Caesars records for total handle, total wagers and unique bettors." In fact, the total handle — the overall amount of money wagered — was a record by a mile, eclipsing the dramatic England-Mexico match. "Handle finished nearly 65% higher than our previous record game, underscoring the extraordinary interest in soccer's biggest match and the incredible momentum we saw throughout the tournament," Bickerdike said. DraftKings Director of Sportsbook Operations Johnny Avello noted the match was a huge cap to a massively well-bet tournament overall. And though Avello didn’t get specific, it sounds as if DraftKings did well. "The tournament is over, but we haven’t come down from our month-long high on World Cup soccer," Avello said. "The biggest event of the year had its peaks and valleys. But overall, wow!" Fantastic Futures If you had a championship futures bet on Spain, then step up and claim your prize. Thankfully, I did, at +450 pre-tournament. Spain certainly garnered a fair amount of bets, but for most books, Argentina was the bigger liability to win it all, as the bandwagon got larger and larger with all the stunning late-match heroics en route to the final. Alas, Messi &amp; Co. couldn’t nail down a second straight World Cup championship. So the bookmakers won in the futures market, as well. "The futures were good. A great end to a very profitable World Cup," Circa Sports director of operations Jeff Benson said. "It was a nice bonus for what otherwise would be a slow summer." Added Bickerdike: "Spain lifting the trophy was also a favorable result for us in the futures markets, as interest in them slowed during the tournament. Particularly after their early draw against Cape Verde. "That said, there will be plenty of happy bettors who backed Spain before the tournament, as Spain was our second-most-wagered team heading into the competition." I Like Big Bets and I Cannot Lie Major matches bring major wagers, and the World Cup finale didn’t disappoint. Among the largest plays was one reportedly made by Drake: a whopping $1.5 million on Argentina. It’s a good thing Drake is among those rare few who can lose that kind of money and not even notice. Hopefully the same holds true for a DraftKings Sportsbook customer who also went in heavy on Messi &amp; Co. Back on June 17, just a week into the tournament, the bettor put $250,000 on Argentina +850 to win the World Cup. If Argentina went the distance, then the bettor would’ve won $2.125 million. Alas, the wager became a six-figure donation to the house. On prediction markets, there were a couple of risk-a-lot-to-make-a-little trades. Over the past few days, you might recall seeing that someone posted on X five years ago, saying Argentina beat Spain 3-2 in the 2026 World Cup final. That led to a slew of wagers on that actually happening Sunday. A Polymarket customer went the other way, with a $1.55 million trade that the final score would not be Argentina 3, Spain 2. At a price of 97% — which equates to odds of -3233 — that trade profited $44,772, for a total payout of $1,597,219. Also at Polymarket, a customer put $318,255 on Messi to not score two or more goals vs. Spain. Obviously, the Argentine superstar was shut out, and the trader netted $29,337 profit (total payout $347,592). Other notable wagers: Parlay Partay Small bets that win big are even more likable than big bets. They’re certainly more relatable to us average Joes and Janes. A FanDuel Sportsbook customer notched a nice win and perhaps could’ve won a lot more, but refused to look a gift horse in the mouth. Way back on Feb. 9, the bettor put together a six-leg parlay, combining NBA and NHL futures with a World Cup future. The goal: To turn a measly $2.01 into $8,880.55. Odds of all six teams hitting were a humongous +441718, or just beyond 4417/1. By the time the World Cup began, Spain was all that remained to cash that ticket. But on Saturday, the bettor opted to take a cashout offer from FanDuel, for $4,434,27. That’s some insane ROI on a two-dollar bet. Finally, file this under "Timing Is Everything." Prior to Saturday’s England vs. France third-place match, a Caesars customer put five bucks on the correct final score being England 5, France 3. The odds on that were a hefty +42500, or 425/1, for a potential profit of $2,125. No one in their right mind expected eight goals, never mind the 10 goals ultimately scored in England’s 6-4 victory. However, in the 87th minute, Bukayo Saka completed his hat trick by converting a penalty kick to put England up 5-3. Presciently, the bettor then opted to take Caesars’ cashout offer of $1,206. Smart move, because in the sixth minute of second-half injury time, Ousmane Dembélé scored for France to make it 5-4, which would’ve killed that bet. Two minutes later, Jude Bellingham knocked it in for England to account for the 6-4 final. It’s all in the timing.]]>

				    <![CDATA["Bear Bets" are real wagers that Chris "The Bear" Fallica is actually making. The gold medal is on the line today, the final day of what was a marvelous 2026 World Cup. Lionel Messi has a chance to add to his already otherworldly résumé with a second consecutive World Cup title, while Lamine Yamal gets the chance to boost a dynamic career that has just begun. Here's how I'm wagering on Match Day 34, featuring the championship match. This page may contain affiliate links to legal sports betting partners. If you sign up or place a wager, FOX Sports may be compensated. Read more about Sports Betting on FOX Sports. World Cup Best Bets — Sunday, July 19 Spain vs. Argentina It all comes down to this. Messi remains the past and the present, and with the way he's going, he still could have some future left. His Argentina charge will match up with Spain and its young star in Yamal, the name that is supposed to take over the soccer world in due time. However, Yamal hasn't been the star for Spain this summer. Rodri, Mikel Oyarzabal and Unai Simon have led the way for a Spanish unit that has outscored opponents 13-1 this tournament. The lone goal it allowed was against Belgium in the quarterfinals. Spain's most impressive performance came during a shutout of mighty France in the semifinals, and it's because of that showing that I'm expecting Spain to work its defensive magic in a win over Argentina in the final. Many struggle wagering against Messi, but La Albiceleste has not had an easy road in the knockout stage. It eked past Cape Verde in the Round of 32, made a miraculous comeback against Egypt in the Round of 16, and scored twice late to down England in the semis. So, which way do you see it? Are the Argentinians not to be counted out or have they been in cahoots with Lady Luck? I can see La Roja pulling off another defensive masterclass, shutting down mighty Messi in the process.]]>

				    <![CDATA[Argentina was five minutes from elimination. Eight minutes later, the defending champions were headed to another World Cup final. England led 1-0 in the 85th minute of Wednesday’s semifinal before Enzo Fernández equalized, and Lautaro Martínez completed another remarkable comeback in stoppage time. The 2-1 victory sends Argentina to its second consecutive World Cup title match. Waiting there is Spain, which defeated France 2-0 in Tuesday’s semifinal. Spain enters the final unbeaten in 37 matches (28 wins and nine draws) since a 1-0 loss to Colombia in March 2024. That matches Italy’s 2018-21 run for the longest unbeaten streak in men’s international soccer. Let's dive into the full updated odds via FanDuel Sportsbook as of July 19.

Read more about Sports Betting on FOX Sports. 2026 World Cup Winner Odds TO ADVANCE Spain: -160 (bet $10 to win $16.25 total)Argentina: +138 (bet $10 to win $23.80 total) MONEYLINE Spain: +125 (bet $10 to win $22.50 total)Draw: +195 (bet $10 to win $29.50 total)Argentina: +270 (bet $10 to win $37 total) Here's what to know about this oddsboard: Argentina Does It Again: Can anyone hold the champs down? It appears not. As noted, La Albiceleste won in comeback fashion yet again, this time over England. Argentina has qualified for a seventh World Cup final, tying Brazil for second-most all-time (Germany has eight). In addition, the quest is alive for Lionel Messi &amp; Co. to become the third repeat World Cup winner and first team to win four straight major titles. And fathom this: Messi hasn't scored in the past two games, but instead, has three assists, including assisting both goals in the Argentina win over England. Spain Triumphs: Ever since 2026 FIFA World Cup odds were released back in 2022, only two teams have been the favorite: Spain and France. Now, only one remains, with Spain knocking off France and advancing to its second-ever World Cup final. It appears, at least after Tuesday, that La Roja has Les Bleus' number to a degree. Spain is the team that has beaten France the most times over the last 20 years — eight times in 11 matches. Spain is 19-7-13 (W-D-L) all-time against France (all competitions), outscoring Les Bleus 73-44 in those matches. In addition, the two nations are now 4-4 against each in single-elimination matches (World Cup/European Championship/UEFA Nations League), but Spain has won four of the last five such matches. Lastly, with the defeat, France's streak of World Cup title berths came to an end, after it made the final in both 2018 (win) and 2022 (loss).]]>

				    <![CDATA[It's not only the boot that's prone to turning gold. The Golden Glove is the award given to the best goalkeeper at the World Cup. The winner often comes down to impact, with clutch saves in knockout stage matches and standout performances in the tournament’s crunch-time moments. In four of the last five World Cups, the winner of this award has come from the champion nation. Let's dive into the odds at FanDuel Sportsbook as of July 19.

Golden Glove Winner 2026 Unai Simón: -750 (bet $10 to win $15 total)Emiliano Martínez: +650 (bet $10 to win $75 total)Josimar Vozinha: +2200 (bet $10 to win $230 total)Jordan Pickford: +4500 (bet $10 to win $460 total) Here is what to know about this oddsboard: The Favorite(s): Prior to the France-Spain semifinal matchup, Mike Maignan was the favorite. Now, after Spain's 2-0 win, Unai Simón has surged up the oddsboard to become the new favorite. Simón has had quite the World Cup, only allowing one goal in seven games this summer. Simón recorded his sixth clean sheet this World Cup on Tuesday, the most ever by a goalkeeper at a single edition of the tournament. Spain's six clean sheets this tournament is also a new record for the most ever at a single World Cup. In Spain's 2-1 win over Belgium in the quarterfinals, Simón's shutout streak at the World Cup ended at 649 minutes, the longest in World Cup history. In terms of Argentina's Emiliano Martínez, he won the Golden Glove back in 2022, but he and the Argentinian defense did allow two goals to upstart Cape Verde in the Round of 32, two against Egypt in the Round of 16, one against Switzerland in the quarters and one against England in the semis.]]>

				    <![CDATA[Lionel Messi. Lamine Yamal. A generational World Cup final is set. Spain will face Argentina in the 2026 FIFA World Cup Final on Sunday, July 19, 2026, at New York New Jersey Stadium on FOX. This historic matchup is the first time the No. 1 and No. 2 ranked teams in FIFA's pre-tournament rankings have met in the World Cup final (since rankings were introduced in 1992). Additionally, this will be the first ever World Cup final between the reigning UEFA European champions and the reigning CONMEBOL Copa América champions, and only the second final between two Spanish-speaking countries since 1930 (Uruguay vs. Argentina). With its dominating 2-0 win over France in the semifinals, Spain has reached the World Cup final for the first time since 2010 and just the second time ever. With the win, Spain became the first ever European nation to win eight consecutive knockout stage matches at major tournaments (World Cup and Euros). Spain comes into the final on a 37-game unbeaten streak, the longest in team history (28-9-0, W-D-L), last losing 1-0 to Colombia in March 2024; It is tied for the longest unbeaten streak by a European team ever, with Italy also going unbeaten in 37 straight matches from October 2018 to September 2021. Through seven games this summer, La Roja has only allowed one goal. Meanwhile, Argentina's late-game heroics continued in its 2-1 semifinal win over England. After trailing 1-0 in the 84th minute, Argentina only had a 1.3% chance of winning the game within 90 minutes. However, Argentina's two late goals in a seven-minute span sent La Albiceleste to its seventh World Cup final. Argentina is looking to become the third team to win back-to-back World Cups (Italy in 1934-38; Brazil in 1958-62), and the first team to win four straight major titles (won Copa América in 2021 and 2024, and World Cup in 2022).

				    <![CDATA[Alongside the national pride, it's the players that make each World Cup special. Let's check out the odds for the Golden Ball (tournament's best player), as well as what to know about the favorites, as of July 19. This page may contain affiliate links to legal sports betting partners. If you sign up or place a wager, FOX Sports may be compensated. Read more about Sports Betting on FOX Sports. FIFA Player of the Tournament Winner 2026 Lionel Messi, Argentina: -1500 (bet $10 to win $10.67 total) What to know: In the history of the World Cup, the Golden Ball has been awarded 11 times and Messi is the only player who has won it twice: 2014 (Brazil) and 2022 (Qatar). Messi scored in each of the first five matches of the tournament, and had a combined three assists in the quarterfinals and semifinals. Messi has now scored or assisted in 11 straight World Cup matches, the longest streak on record (since 1966). Rodri, Spain: +1200 (bet $10 to win $130 total) What to know: Spain's midfielder has surged up the oddsboard after La Roja's 2-0 semifinal win over France, helping stifle the French attack while creating ample offensive opportunity for the Spanish. Lamine Yamal, Spain: +3500 (bet $10 to win $360 total) What to know: While only scoring one goal so far this summer, Yamal has had a major impact in Spain's run to the World Cup final. Most recently, the 19-year-old drew a penalty to set up Spain's first goal in its semifinal win over France. Kylian Mbappé, France: +3500 (bet $10 to win $360 total) What to know: Mbappé has the most goals so far this summer, and is the heavy favorite to win his second consecutive Golden Boot. He would be the first back-to-back winner of that award in World Cup history.]]>

				    <![CDATA[The third-best soccer nation in the world is no small title. France and England fell in the World Cup semifinals — to Spain and Argentina, respectively — and now, those two nations will face off on Saturday for the bronze medal. Let's dive into the odds for that matchup via FanDuel Sportsbook as of July 18. This page may contain affiliate links to legal sports betting partners. If you sign up or place a wager, FOX Sports may be compensated. Read more about Sports Betting on FOX Sports. 2026 World Cup Third-Place Winner Odds TO ADVANCE France: -220 (bet $10 to win $14.55 total)England: +176 (bet $10 to win $27.60 total) MONEYLINE France -125 (bet $10 to win $18 total)Draw +300 (bet $10 to win $40 total)England: +300 (bet $10 to win $40 total) Here's what to know about this oddsboard: What's At Stake For England: England has already tied the record for most wins at a World Cup in the country's history, with five. A win on Saturday would break that record. Jude Bellingham has also equaled Gary Lineker’s team record of six non-penalty goals. He has one more game to become the sole owner of that record. Lastly, while England won the World Cup back in 1966, its best result since then has been two fourth-place finishes, in 1990 and 2018. It can add a third-place finish to its résumé with a win on Saturday. What's At Stake For France: In its history, France has one fourth-place finish, two third-place finishes, has finished as runner-up twice and has won two titles. Kylian Mbappé has eight goals this tournament, tied with Lionel Messi, meaning the Golden Boot is up for grabs. If Mbappé wins the Golden Boot, he will be the first two-time winner and first back-to-back winner in World Cup history. Lastly, this will be French manager Didier Deschamps' final game as manager of the national team. He is 121-36-29 (W-D-L) as France's manager, and also holds the World Cup records for most knockout stage wins (10) by a manager and most overall wins (20). He can add to those records with a win on Saturday.]]>

				    <![CDATA[France will face England in the 2026 FIFA World Cup third-place game on Saturday, July 18, 2026, at Miami Stadium on FOX. The game nobody wants to play in is here. After dominating its first six games of the tournament, France lost 2-0 to Spain in the semifinals on Tuesday. This was the first time since 1986 that Les Bleus lost in the semis, having won four straight in 1998, 2006, 2018 and 2022. France came into its semifinal match as the favorite. However, Spain took control of the game from the start. An unfortunate penalty gave Spain an early 1-0 lead as France fell behind for the first time this summer. From there, Spain's impressive defense was able to stage off a high-powered French attack. For the first time in his World Cup career, Kylian Mbappé will not play in the World Cup final. Meanwhile, England lost to Argentina on Wednesday in heartbreaking fashion. After an Anthony Gordon 55th minute goal, the Three Lions were in firm control to reach their first World Cup final since 1966. With just under 10 minutes remaining, England still held the lead. Then, Lionel Messi and Argentina arrived. La Albiceleste stormed back, scoring two goals in a seven-minute span to take a 2-1 lead in the final minutes. The Three Lions only had 12% possession between Anthony Gordon's opening goal and Lautaro Martínez's game-winner (55th to 92nd minute). Just a few days ago, France and England were favored to meet in the final. Now, the two historic nations will meet with a little less on the line.

				    <![CDATA[If Argentina's run to the final can be described by one fact, it's this one: La Albiceleste has not led going into the 90th minute in any of its knockout stage matches. With two comeback wins and two extra-time victories, Argentina's run to the World Cup final has been unlike anything seen before. Four of its last seven World Cup knockout stage matches have gone to extra-time, with two coming this tournament. Lionel Messi &amp; Co. will face Spain on Sunday at 3 p.m. EST at New York New Jersey Stadium on FOX. This matchup will be the first time the No. 1 and No. 2 ranked teams in FIFA's rankings have met in the final (since rankings were introduced in 1992). It will also be the first ever World Cup final between the reigning European champions, and the reigning Copa América champions. So how did Argentina get here? Just how improbable has its World Cup run been? Let's dive in. This page may contain affiliate links to legal sports betting partners. If you sign up or place a wager, FOX Sports may be compensated. Read more about Sports Betting on FOX Sports. Behind Lionel Messi's first career World Cup hat trick, Argentina cruised to a 3-0 win over Algeria in its opener. After missing a penalty kick early in the match, Messi redeemed himself with two more goals in Argentina's 2-0 win against Austria to clinch Group J. Having already clinched Group J, Argentina mixed up the lineup with multiple new starters in the group finale vs. Jordan. Giovani Lo Celso scored the first non-Messi goal for Argentina this summer, while Lautaro Martínez added another. Then, after coming on via a substitution, Messi's brilliance was on full display once again as he scored a beautiful free-kick goal for his sixth goal of the group stage. In the Round of 32, Argentina barely survived what would have been one of the biggest upsets in World Cup history. Cape Verde, a country with a population of approximately 529,000 people, took the defending World Cup champions to extra time. After Messi's 29th minute goal put Argentina in front, Cape Verde answered in the 59th minute to force extras. Then, after Argentina took the lead once again in the 92nd minute, Sidny Lopes Cabral scored the goal of the tournament to level the score once again for the Blue Sharks. As penalties loomed, a Cape Verde own goal provided the game-winning goal that sent Argentina through. If Cape Verde had advanced, it would have been the largest upset in a knockout stage match by FIFA rankings in World Cup history; Cape Verde was ranked 67th, while Argentina was ranked first (difference of 66 spots). For nearly 80 minutes, it looked like the defending champions were heading home. Argentina trailed Egypt 2-0 entering the 79th minute of its Round of 16 match before scoring three goals in a stunning 13-minute span to complete one of the greatest comebacks in World Cup history. Egypt took the lead in the 15th minute, marking the first time Argentina had trailed in a World Cup match since its opening game of the 2022 tournament against Saudi Arabia. The Pharaohs then doubled their lead in the 67th minute, leaving Argentina on the brink of elimination. Then everything changed. Cristian Romero sparked the comeback in the 79th minute, converting a Messi assist to cut the deficit to 2-1. Just four minutes later, Messi found the equalizer himself. Then, in stoppage time, Enzo Fernández completed the miracle, scoring in the 92nd minute to seal an improbable 3-2 victory. In the quarterfinals, after an early goal from Alexis Mac Allister in the 10th minute, La Albiceleste looked like it was cruising to an easy win. Then, Switzerland's Dan Ndoye equalized in the 67th minute. However, just when all the momentum shifted to Switzerland, Breel Embolo was sent off moments later after picking up his second yellow card. The match was tied 1-1 through 111 minutes, until Julián Alvarez scored one of the best goals of the tournament to give Argentina the lead. Lautaro Martínez would score a third in the 120th (+1), putting the nail in the coffin. After giving up a goal in the 55th minute, Argentina once again found itself trailing. But with five minutes left in regulation, Messi saved the day once again, finding Enzo Fernández for the equalizing goal. Seven minutes later, he found Martínez for the game-winner.]]>

				    <![CDATA[As a soccer oddsmaker — and an English one at that — Mark Bickerdike knows it’s never over ‘til it’s over. But Bickerdike and his Caesars Sports trading team remain stunned that it’s Spain vs. Argentina odds on the board for the World Cup final, rather than Spain vs. England. "We were just about ready to release Spain vs. England and had to quickly change our plans," Bickerdike said Friday. That’s because Lionel Messi &amp; Co. pulled yet another rabbit out of the hat to beat England on Wednesday. As such, Bickerdike now helps dive into World Cup odds for Spain vs. Argentina, in a 3 p.m. ET showdown Sunday on FOX. This page may contain affiliate links to legal sports betting partners. If you sign up or place a wager, FOX Sports may be compensated. Read more about Sports Betting on FOX Sports. Better Late Than Never As everyone knows by now, England led Argentina 1-0 through 84 minutes of Wednesday’s semifinal. Harry Kane &amp; Co. were poised to reach their first World Cup final since 1966, when England won its only championship. But Argentina was putting on relentless pressure and finally broke through on an 85th-minute Enzo Fernández goal to tie it, off an assist from Messi. Still, it appeared overtime might be in store. Then Messi made a brilliant cross in the second minute of second-half injury time. Lautaro Martínez headed it in, ultimately giving Argentina a shocking 2-1 victory. It was yet more late-match heroics for Argentina, preceded by: "I think it’s fair to say that Argentina definitely rode the luck wave. They’ve done it the hard way. It all sets up for Messi to go out with a real bang," Bickerdike said. Fairytale Finish? It won’t get easier against Spain, with Argentina an underdog for the second straight match. Caesars opened the three-way moneyline — for 90 minutes plus injury time — at Spain +125/Argentina +230/Draw +220. As of 5 p.m. ET on Friday, it’s Spain +123/Argentina +250/Draw +198. In the To Lift The Trophy market — which accounts for all methods of victory (regulation/OT/penalty-kick shootout) — Caesars opened at Spain -170/Argentina +135 and moved to Spain -154/Argentina +125. Between Messi playing in likely his last World Cup and all the late-game drama, the public betting masses believe that Argentina is destined to win a second straight title. "The fairytale finish for Messi is probably driving customers a little bit, as well as the finishes," Bickerdike said. "In the three-way, Argentina is taking 59% of bets and 60% of money. Spain is at 33% of bets and 34% of money." That leaves Draw with the remaining 8% of bets and 6% of money. "On To Lift The Trophy, it’s a similar story in terms of tickets: 65% Argentina and 35% Spain. But the money is a lot closer — 54% Argentina and 46% Spain," Bickerdike said. What The Book Wants First off, as with every soccer match, sportsbooks want 90 minutes plus injury time to end in a draw. That allows the books to scoop up all the three-way money on both teams, virtually guaranteeing a winning outcome, at least on the match itself. But keep in mind, the World Cup futures odds market also settles up on Sunday. So that factors into oddsmakers’ considerations. "In general, we want Spain to lift the trophy. We wanted that before the semifinals, and that continues," Bickerdike said. "The perfect scenario is, let’s go all the way to penalties and see Spain win. Let’s see 120 minutes on that clock." If the match indeed goes to overtime, Caesars and everyone else will want it to be due to a low-scoring draw — either 0-0 or 1-1. That’s because the total goals market — currently 2.5, with Under a -159 favorite — is getting slammed with Over action. "The majority of our business has been on the Over. In fact, we have a decent liability on Over 3.5 goals, as well," Bickerdike said. Caesars also wants the highest-profile players shut down on Sunday. "We’ll be cheering against Messi and Lamine Yamal. They’re taking a combined 80% of the money in the anytime goals market. So we’d like to see them not get on the scoresheet," Bickerdike said. Dodging Nostradamus More than five years ago, on July 11, 2021, when X was still called Twitter, a subscriber made the following predictive post: In the wake of Argentina’s stunning knockout of England, that post was rebirthed and went viral. Further, multiple sportsbooks noted Friday that there’s substantial action in the Correct Score market on an Argentina 3-2 victory. "That is a substantial liability for us. We’ve seen large-stakes bets on that and a lot of $1 bets," Bickerdike said, while noting odds opened at +5000 and are now significantly shorter. "We moved it due to the liability. We’re now at +3500. "When the story came to light, it raised a few eyebrows and a few smiles. Although if it ends 3–2, we might not be smiling." Bookmakers at least have the favorite in their corner. And it’s worth noting that Spain has given up just one goal the entire tournament, so three in one match would be unprecedented. That said, I’d probably throw a five-dollar flier on it, just in case, even at 35/1. For a chance to win $175, why not take that ride?]]>

				    <![CDATA[There are a couple of ways to play the Spain vs. Argentina match, and I think both have a good chance of cashing. There is value on Spain to win in regulation at +125, but if you take Spain to lift the World Cup at -150, you protect yourself if it doesn't get the job done in 90 minutes. Spain’s defense has been absolutely elite, conceding just one goal the entire tournament. It has shut down some of the best attacks in the world, including Portugal and Cristiano Ronaldo and even France’s four-headed attack of Michael Olise, Kylian Mbappé, Désiré Doué and Ousmane Dembélé.

Argentina has done well to reach back-to-back World Cup finals, but that side hasn't played its best football in the knockout stage. It needed multiple goals after the 79th minute to get this far. England had Argentina on the ropes, and if not for some questionable late managerial decisions by Thomas Tuchel, it might have been England playing for the trophy. It’s always brave to bet against Lionel Messi in a World Cup final, but this Spanish side feels like the most complete team in the tournament. Spain's defense is outstanding, and it has game-changers all over the pitch.]]>

				    <![CDATA[When Argentina and Spain meet in the 2026 World Cup final on Sunday, it will be a true passing of the guard. From one generational superstar to the next. From one Barcelona legend to the club's current star. From 39-year-old Lionel Messi to 19-year-old Lamine Yamal. Yamal is already a household name, who, at 17, helped Spain win the UEFA Euro 2024. Messi, too, wasted no time piling up a notable list of accomplishments at the start of his career, several of which occurred before Yamal was even born in 2007. Here's everything Messi did before Yamal was born. FC Barcelona Senior Team Debut: Oct. 16, 2004 Lionel Messi played his first match for the Barcelona senior squad when he came on as a substitute in a 1-0 victory against cross-town rivals Espanyol. UEFA Champions League Debut: Dec. 7, 2004 Lionel Messi made his first appearance in the UEFA Champions League for Barcelona at age 17. He started a group stage match against Shakhtar Donetsk, which Barça lost 2-0. First Goal for Barcelona: May 1, 2005 Messi scored his first goal for Barcelona in a La Liga match against Albacete on May 1, 2005. First LaLiga Title: May 14, 2005 Messi secured his first major professional trophy as Barcelona clinched the 2004–05 La Liga title by a four-point margin over rivals Real Madrid. It was Barcelona's first league title since 1999. U-20 World Cup And MVP: July 2, 2005 Messi won the FIFA U-20 World Cup in the Netherlands, leading Argentina to the trophy. It would be his first silverware for his country and last for nearly 15 years. Messi won both the Golden Ball (tournament MVP) and Golden Shoe (top scorer with 6 goals). Golden Boy Award Winner: December 2005 Established as Europe's brightest young talent, Messi was named the Golden Boy for 2005, beating out Wayne Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo. First Champions League Title: May 17, 2006 Lionel Messi helped Barcelona win the UEFA Champions League trophy in 2006 when it took down Arsenal 2-1 in the final in Paris. Across the campaign, Messi appeared in six matches, starting four. He scored once, in a group stage match against Panathinaikos, and recorded an assist. Second LaLiga Title: May 19, 2006 Barcelona won back-to-back league titles for the first time since doing it in 1997-98 and 1998-99. Later that summer, Barça secured the Supercopa de España, adding more silverware to Messi's cabinet. FIFA World Cup Debut: June 16, 2006 Messi appeared in his first World Cup for Argentina at 18 years old. He started the group stage match against the Netherlands, and scored as a substitute against Serbia and Montenegro. He helped Argentina to a 2-1 win against Mexico in the round of 16 on his 19th birthday. Named to the FIFPro World XI: November 2006 At just 19, Messi was voted into the FIFPro World XI by his fellow professional players, solidifying his status as one of the world's best players. The El Clásico Hat-Trick: March 11, 2007 Messi scored his first professional hat-trick in a thrilling 3-3 draw against Real Madrid at the Camp Nou, single-handedly rescuing a 10-man Barcelona team. The ‘Ankara Messi’ Goal: April 18, 2007 In a Copa del Rey match, Messi scored one of his most iconic solo goals against Getafe. He runs from his own half, beats five defenders and the goalkeeper, drawing instant comparisons to Diego Maradona's 1986 goal against England. Of course, the call by the broadcaster (who is actually saying "Encara Messi" in Catalan, meaning "Still Messi") would further cement the goal as canon.]]>

Spain is awaiting the winner of Argentina-England in the championship match, while France is awaiting the loser in the third-place game. All that means is we still have some fabulous football left on the docket. Here's how I'm wagering on Match Day 32, the second day of the semifinals. This page may contain affiliate links to legal sports betting partners. If you sign up or place a wager, FOX Sports may be compensated. Read more about Sports Betting on FOX Sports. World Cup Best Bets — Wednesday, July 15 Argentina vs. England La Albiceleste leads the World Cup in goals scored with 17, while Three Lions has 13 (fourth). Argentina has scored at least three goals in every game this tournament except one, and it scored two on that day (group stage vs. Austria). England has scored seven in its last three contests, and Jude Bellingham has a brace in each of the last two games. See what I'm getting at? Bellingham is hot, and if Argentina plans to slow his momentum, it could open the door for Harry Kane to find the back of the net. And as we know, Lionel Messi is always hot, tied for the tournament lead in goals scored with eight. I think this one is a barnburner, with both teams putting pressure on the opposing defense.]]>

				    <![CDATA[England will face Argentina in a 2026 FIFA World Cup semifinal showdown on Wednesday, July 15, 2026, at Atlanta Stadium on FOX. Argentina and England meet for the sixth time at the World Cup and the fourth time in the World Cup knockout stage, tied for the second-most of any matchup. This is their first World Cup meeting since the 2002 group stage, a 1-0 England win on a David Beckham penalty. The Three Lions are in the World Cup semifinals for the fourth time and has now made two semis in the last three World Cups for the first time in its nation's history. For the second time in the knockout stage, England came from behind to beat Norway 2-1 in the quarterfinals. Jude Bellingham scored twice against Mexico and Norway, making him the first player with two goals in consecutive World Cup knockout-stage games since Diego Maradona in 1986 against England and Belgium. Both Bellingham and Harry Kane have led the way this summer, tallying six goals apiece heading into the semis. Meanwhile, Argentina has been in consecutive World Cup semifinals for the second time in its nation's history (1986 and 1990) and is in the semis for the third time in its last four World Cups. La Albiceleste is looking to be the third nation in tournament history to be a repeat champion and the first team to win four straight major titles. However, the knockout stage has not come easy for the defending champs. In the Round of 32, massive underdog Cape Verde took La Albiceleste to the brink as Argentina ultimately survived in extra time. In the Round of 16, Argentina trailed by two goals with just over 10 minutes remaining before pulling off one of the best comebacks in World Cup history to beat Egypt 3-2. Then, in the quarters, a 10-man Switzerland team was level until Julián Alvarez scored one of the best goals of the entire summer to put Argentina in front in the 112th minute of extra time.

				    <![CDATA[With France’s 2026 FIFA World Cup run ending in the semifinals on Tuesday, Kylian Mbappé will have to wait four more years for another chance at his second World Cup title. France fell to Spain 2-0 in the semifinals, denying Mbappé a third straight World Cup final appearance after reaching the championship match in both 2018 and 2022. When he burst onto the scene in 2018, Mbappé was just 19 years old. He became the youngest French player ever to score at a World Cup and only the second teenager in history to score in a World Cup final, joining Pelé’s iconic feat in 1958. Now, eight years later, the French superstar has broken all different kinds of World Cup records. Here’s a detailed look at Mbappé’s performance across his first three World Cup appearances, along with the records he has already set during his remarkable international career. Keep in mind, he can add to these totals with France's third-place match still to come, on July 18. This page may contain affiliate links to legal sports betting partners.

				    <![CDATA[Even though France’s World Cup title hopes ended with Tuesday’s 2-0 semifinal loss to Spain, Kylian Mbappé has not been eliminated from the Golden Boot race. France will still play in Saturday’s third-place match, and any goals scored in that game count toward the Golden Boot standings. Les Bleus will face the loser of Wednesday’s semifinal between England and Argentina. As things stand, Mbappé and Lionel Messi are tied for the tournament lead with eight goals apiece. If they finish level on goals, the Golden Boot will be decided by FIFA’s tiebreakers: Mbappé currently holds the edge with three assists compared to Messi’s two. Mbappé has logged 609 minutes through seven matches, while Messi has played 531 minutes through six. If Messi plays at least 79 minutes against England on Wednesday, he will overtake Mbappé in total minutes played, meaning the minutes tiebreaker would also favor the French star. So what does Mbappé need to do to win a second straight Golden Boot? Right now, his clearest path is for the standings to remain exactly as they are. If Messi does not score or record another assist in Argentina’s remaining matches, Mbappé would win the award on the assists tiebreaker if both finish with eight goals. Of course, England's Harry Kane and Jude Bellingham or Spain's Mikel Oyarzabal surpass them both. However, if Messi adds either a goal or an assist in Wednesday’s semifinal, Mbappé would likely need to respond in France’s third-place match to keep his repeat Golden Boot hopes alive. Let's take a look at the updated Golden Boot odds at FanDuel Sportsbook as of July 14. Current Golden Boot Winner Odds: Lionel Messi: -160 (bet $10 to win $26.50 total)Kylian Mbappé: +180 (bet $10 to win $28 total)Harry Kane: +950 (bet $10 to win $105 total)Jude Bellingham: +1600 (bet $10 to win $170 total)Mikel Oyarzabal: +12500 (bet $10 to win $1,260 total)]]>

				    <![CDATA[A historic 2026 FIFA World Cup semifinal is set. France will face Spain in a semifinal showdown on Tuesday, July 14, 2026, at Dallas Stadium on FOX. Kylian Mbappé. Lamine Yamal. A rematch of the 2024 European Championship semifinals with a trip to the World Cup final on the line. What more could you ask for? France is the third nation to reach three consecutive World Cup semifinals, joining Germany (twice) and Brazil. Les Bleus are also set to become just the third country to appear in eight World Cup semifinals, alongside Germany (12) and Brazil (8). A win would make France only the third team to reach three straight World Cup finals, joining Brazil (1994-2002) and West Germany (1982-1990). France reached the semis with a dominant 2-0 win against Morocco in the quarterfinals. France outshot Morocco 22-5, tying the fewest shots conceded in a World Cup quarterfinal or later at the last eight tournaments. Kylian Mbappé (eight goals) and Ousmane Dembélé (five goals) are the fifth-ever pair of teammates with five goals each at a World Cup. Meanwhile, Michael Olise leads the tournament in assists (5). On the other hand, Spain is in its second World Cup semifinal and the first since winning the 2010 title. Spain is the first reigning European champion to reach the World Cup semifinals since its own 2010 team and could become just the fifth to advance to the final. Only 1974 West Germany and 2010 Spain have won the World Cup as reigning European champions. Spain’s record streak of six straight World Cup clean sheets ended in the 2-1 quarterfinal win over Belgium, as did Unai Simón’s World Cup-record shutout streak at 649 minutes. But with the victory, Spain set a team record of 36 straight games unbeaten (27W-9D-0L), last losing in March 2024 to Colombia.

World Cup Best Bets — Tuesday, July 14 Spain vs. France Those expecting a repeat of the 5-4 Nations League match last year are probably going to be disappointed. I’d expect Spain to have much of the ball again, especially in the first half, as an early France goal would be the one thing that could open this game up. But with the stakes as high as they are, expect caution, at least early on. Then, when those rare opportunities present themselves, that's when a likely winner can be had. But this looks like a dead Under and likely first-half draw.]]>

This is the world’s best attack against the world’s best defense. Spain has conceded just one goal all tournament, while France’s front three of Kylian Mbappé, Ousmane Dembélé and Michael Olise can overwhelm any back line on their day. While I slightly favor France as the better overall side, it’s hard to ignore the value on Spain double chance at plus-money. Spain rarely loses in regulation, it controls possession as well as anyone and its defensive structure is built to limit explosive attacks. Having already knocked France out of Euro 2024 and the UEFA Nations League, Spain will enter this match full of confidence. With these teams so evenly matched, taking Spain to avoid defeat in 90 minutes is simply the value side.]]>

				    <![CDATA[We’re on to Week 6 of the "Friendly Wager" and we're celebrating last week’s parlay hit on Ousmane Dembélé to score against Morocco and France to advance. Add a +241 winner to the kitty. One reader took time out of his precious day to message me saying I stink at World Cup betting because I only have four wins in 13 plays. Thing is, we’re well in the green because three of the winners hit at +380, +715 and +241. Math hurts sometimes. This page may contain affiliate links to legal sports betting partners. If you sign up or place a wager, FOX Sports may be compensated. Read more about Sports Betting on FOX Sports. Friendly Wager Record:4-9, +5.36 France vs. Spain As we trek into the semifinals, it’s tough to love anything. These match lines are extremely tight and well-priced, and while I do expect France to make it to Sunday’s final, I’m not suggesting a play at -150 or higher. That’s not why we’re here. However, we can still have some fun. I want to take this France championship wager at a plus price (+140) and wheel it with something else. Before the tournament, my teammate Chris "Bear" Fallica said the French were the deepest, most-talented team. And nothing we’ve seen would cause one to shy away from that sentiment. So, what about France to win the next two matches and Scottie Scheffler to win this week’s Open Championship? Scheffler only has one victory on the PGA Tour this year, so the bloom is off the rose a bit. But I vividly remember Scheffler being around +350 to win The Masters three months ago, and now he’s as high as +750 to win this weekend. Sure, Scheffler hasn’t won since The American Express in late January, but he has nine top-10 finishes this year. And I really don’t care that he just missed the cut at the Scottish Open. More money for us. Here are the payouts on this parlay at four books: DraftKings +1556Caesars +1799FanDuel +1820BetMGM +1920 Always be shopping. England vs. Argentina I’m not sure who wins this match, but I think we get fireworks. Argentina has scored three goals in each of its last four matches and even that sleepy opening match against Austria saw it score twice. I have a difficult time envisioning the Argentina side suddenly forgetting how to put the ball in the net. Meanwhile, England has really opened up its offense thanks to the play of Jude Bellingham. We know Harry Kane is the heartbeat for Three Lions, but Bellingham has been the best all-around player. He’s +450 to win the Golden Ball, trailing only Kylian Mbappé and Lionel Messi in that market. We need three goals (in regulation) to cash this ticket. Let’s go.]]>

				    <![CDATA[World Cup odds provided a record-breaking past month of soccer wagers for sportsbooks in Las Vegas and across the nation. That’s likely to continue in the semifinals, since the final four teams alive just happen to be the top four teams in FIFA’s world rankings. "Ever since the USA fell out, all of the knockout games have still been really big with our customers," Caesars Sports head of soccer trading Mark Bickerdike said. "Records continue to fall, and we expect that to continue in the semifinals and the final. "We had high expectations for the tournament as a whole. But we’re surpassing those expectations." Bickerdike helps break down World Cup semifinal odds and action ahead of Tuesday’s France-Spain showdown and Wednesday’s England-Argentina clash.

France vs. Spain Odds France has been the favorite in World Cup futures odds throughout this tournament and remains so, currently at +145 to lift the trophy. Spain is the +340 second choice to win it all. So obviously, something’s gotta give in Tuesday’s 3 p.m. ET match on FOX, from Arlington, Texas. On the three-way moneyline — which accounts for the result after 90 minutes plus injury time — France opened as a +120 favorite, with Spain +225 and Draw +230. As of 2 p.m. ET on Monday, it’s France +127/Spain +215/Draw +215. In the To Advance market — on which team wins, whether in regulation, overtime or penalty-kick shootout — Caesars opened at France -162/Spain +130 and nudged to France -159/Spain +123. "France at the moment is taking 54% of bets and money on the three-way," Bickerdike said. "But the tale to tell is on the To Qualify market, where 80% of money is on France." That’s to go along with 65% of bets on France. So Spain is seeing just 35% of bets/20% of money to advance. On the three-way moneyline, Spain is drawing 24% of bets/30% of money, and Draw is at 22% of bets/16% of money. "Our customers have been impressed by France’s attacking and talent," Bickerdike said, while acknowledging that action on Draw is higher than usual. "We do see a little more on draws in these late stages. And both England and Argentina went to extra time in the quarterfinals, so that’s gonna drive Draw action a little bit. "But by far, Draw is still the best result for us." No France Advance Whether in regulation, extra time or on penalty kicks, though, Caesars has a clear preference for which team it wants to advance. "Spain, both in the match and in the tournament winner book," Bickerdike said. "France is the biggest liability for us in the futures." That means Spain has to put the clamps on Kylian Mbappé. With eight goals, Mbappé is tied for the tournament lead, joined by Argentina’s Lionel Messi. The public betting masses are rooting for another big Mbappé performance. "Mbappé is an extremely popular play in our anytime goalscorer market. Over 80% of money in that market is on Mbappé. It’s a lot of one-way traffic," Bickerdike said. England vs. Argentina Odds Argentina is the defending World Cup champion, beating France in a riveting 2022 final that went all the way to a penalty-kicks shootout. England, meanwhile, is trying to reach the final in order to secure a shot at its first World Cup crown in 60 years. Three Lions’ only other championship came in 1966. And the odds couldn’t be much closer for Wednesday’s 3 p.m. ET kickoff on FOX, from Atlanta. The three-way moneyline opened at Argentina +150/England +170/Draw +240. However, the favorite has since flipped, with England +152/Argentina +198/Draw +193. To Advance odds opened at Argentina -118/England -106, then jumped the fence to England -136/Argentina +106. "Customers are finding it really hard to split these two teams," Bickerdike said. "In To Advance, they’re favoring Argentina. In terms of money, it’s 52% on Argentina/48% on England, and bet count is 57% Argentina/43% England." The three-way market has a very unusual dynamic, as of 2 p.m. ET Monday. "Draw is actually the most popular selection," Bickerdike said, noting a tie in 90 minutes plus injury time is netting 37% of bets and money. England is taking 33% of bets/39% of the money, and Argentina is landing 30% of bets/24% of the money. "I think it’s a product of what people saw on Saturday," Bickerdike said, alluding to England-Norway and Argentina-Switzerland both going to overtime, after 1-1 draws in regulation. "I do think as we get closer to the match, we’ll see more money coming in on the teams, and Draw will still be what we need," Bickerdike said. English Beat Whether the match goes to extra time or not, Caesars doesn’t want to see a rematch of the 2022 World Cup final. "England is our second-best futures result, just behind Spain," Bickerdike said. "In the exacta market, we have substantial liability on a repeat of Argentina vs. France. So we’d be extremely happy with an England-Spain final."]]>

				    <![CDATA[For those who bet on World Cup futures odds, whether months ago, pre-tourney or even over the course of the past four-and-a-half weeks, your wagers are finally about to settle up. That is, as long as your bets included one of the Final Four teams: France, Spain, England and Argentina. Countless tickets have already settled as losers, including a boatload on the USA, with bookmakers across the country popping corks last Monday night. But there are still some notable possible paydays out there, including one high-roller looking to reel in a million dollars on France. Read on for more on that wager and other interesting World Cup futures bets still alive, along with some of the more noteworthy winners and losers of the past week in World Cup odds. This page may contain affiliate links to legal sports betting partners. If you sign up or place a wager, FOX Sports may be compensated. Read more about Sports Betting on FOX Sports. Major Wager Before this 48-team tournament began on June 11, a DraftKings customer was plenty convinced that favorite France was going the distance. As in, $250,000 convinced. The bettor put down a quarter-mill on France +400 to lift the trophy, and a month later, Kylian Mbappé &amp; Co. are in the semifinals, with France sitting as the +150 favorite among the final four teams. It’s certainly familiar territory for France, which beat Croatia 4-2 in the 2018 World Cup final, then lost a thrilling 3-3 draw vs. Argentina on a penalty-kick shootout in the 2022 final. France is a modest favorite vs. Spain in the first semifinal, at 3 p.m. ET Tuesday on FOX. If France advances, it’ll likely be a similarly short favorite against either England or Argentina, who meet in the second semifinal at 3 p.m. ET on Wednesday. Those are two big hurdles to clear, to be sure. But if France gets it done, then the bettor pockets $1 million profit, for a total payout of $1.25 million. Two For The Show Back in mid-April, as the NBA playoffs were about to commence, Hard Rock Bet took an interesting two-leg futures parlay, for $2,700: Knicks +1600 to win the NBA Finals and France +500 to win the World Cup. Add those up, and you’ve got parlay odds of +11000 — or in easier-to-digest terms, 110/1. Keep in mind that, at the time, oddsmakers expected the Celtics to be the East representative in the NBA Finals, even as the No. 2 seed. And the Pistons were the East’s No. 1 seed. But when Boston stunningly bowed out in the first round vs. Philadelphia, it was a wide-open race, and No. 3 seed New York took full advantage. The Knicks ultimately took down the Spurs in five games in the NBA Finals. That happened just as the World Cup was getting underway. Now, the bettor is two France wins away from banking $297,000 profit (total payout $299,700). Something’s Gotta Give At BetMGM, a customer put $50,000 on England +700 to win the World Cup. Another BetMGM big player put $35,000 on Argentina +800 to win the World Cup. So one of those two bettors will be disappointed in the wake of Wednesday’s England vs. Argentina semifinal. England is a slim favorite in that match. If Three Lions end their 60-year World Cup title drought, then that bettor bags $350,000 profit (total payout $400,000). If Argentina wins its second straight World Cup, then that bettor nets $280,000 profit (total payout $315,000). A big sweat awaits both customers on Wednesday, followed by a likely perspiration-drenched championship match next Sunday. Parlay Partay OK, enough about the people betting four/five/six figures. How about something for everyday Joes and Janes? Sometime late last NFL season, likely ahead of the wild-card playoffs, a Fanatics Sportsbook customer crafted a $50 seven-leg futures parlay. It was all on soccer, except for one NFL leg: Seahawks +425 to win the Super Bowl, which they eventually did on Feb. 8, beating the Patriots 29-13. Then, one-by-one, over the next three months, five soccer futures cashed. Now, the ticket just needs Spain to come out on top in World Cup futures odds. The parlay had huge odds of +122406, or just beyond 1224/1. But the bettor also utilized a 10% profit boost promo, hiking the odds to +134647, just beyond 1346/1. If Spain can land two more victories, that bettor’s 50 bucks turns into a stunning total of $67,374. That’s the kind of ROI all of us can appreciate. Over at Hard Rock Bet, a customer is on the brink of turning just $10 into $70,741, on a 17-leg parlay no less. The incredible odds on that ticket are a monstrous +707310 — about 7073/1. Public Service Announcement: 17-leg parlays are not a good investment. So $10 is about the right amount to bet on such lottery-ticket plays. That said, the bettor is now one leg away from a hefty payday. The bettor correctly picked the leading goalscorer for 16 teams so far. All that remains is Harry Kane finishing as England’s top goalscorer. But with Jude Bellingham’s huge performances of late — four goals in the past two matches — Bellingham is tied with Kane at six goals. So the sweat is on for this bettor, in the semifinals and, should England advance, in the championship match. Prediction Profits and Predicaments Throughout the World Cup, the biggest money has flowed through prediction market platforms such as Kalshi and Polymarket. The quarterfinal round was no different. Leading the way is an eye-popping $5.14 million trade on Polymarket for the France-Morocco match to finish with three or more goals. The price was 50% — or even money, in betting odds — so the customer was looking to double up by profiting $5.14 million. Neither team scored in the first half of Thursday’s match, which put this trade on perilous ground. Then Mbappé and Ousmane Dembélé found the net in the 60th and 66th minutes, respectively, putting France up 2-0. That was it, though. So the trader took a $5.1 million bath. As noted previously during the World Cup, traders are intrigued by Yes/No markets and often take the No. In Friday’s Spain vs. Belgium match, a Polymarket trader fired $1.3 million on Belgium not to win. Indeed, Belgium lost 2-1. At a price of 83% — which equates to -488 odds — the trader netted $264,513 profit (total payout $1.566 million). On Saturday, a Polymarket customer had $1.19 million on Norway not to win vs. England. It was tight, in a 1-1 draw that went to overtime, but Norway ultimately lost 2-1. That’s a winner, and at a price of 76% (-317), the trader profited $379,764. At Kalshi, a trader had $164,571 on England to be eliminated vs. Norway. But the English got through to the quarterfinals, so that’s a six-figure loser. Here’s Hoping You Had It You don’t have to wager four, five or six figures to get yourself a nice win. For all us normies, just getting 10 bucks down at, say, 10/1 or 20/1 makes for a great day. There were two such examples in the Norway-England match. At DraftKings Sportsbook, Bellingham was +2000 to score two or more goals. Two minutes into first-half injury time, Bellingham netted his first, tying the game at one. Then three minutes into overtime, Bellingham struck again with what proved to be the game winner. Also at DraftKings, Norway’s Andreas Schjelderup was +2000 to score the game’s first goal. Schjelderup delivered on a 36th-minute blast, giving Norway a relatively short-lived 1-0 lead. If you’d put 10 bucks on either of those, then your wallet would be $200 fatter today. And if you’d gotten a little frisky and bet $100, then you’d have $2,000 profit. I Like Big Bets and I Cannot Lie There are countless more notable transactions on World Cup odds. Here are a few more to wrap things up ahead of the semifinals: All these monster wagers present the opportunity to remind you: High-rollers have the means to make those bets, and more so, the ability to absorb crazy losses. Keep your bet size and your expectations reasonable. This is gambling. Never bet more than you can afford to lose.]]>

				    <![CDATA[A historic World Cup semifinal round is officially set.For the first time since FIFA introduced its world rankings in 1992, each of the top four ranked teams entering the tournament have reached the semifinals. Argentina (No. 1), Spain (No. 2), France (No. 3), and England (No. 4) were the highest ranked teams in the world before the opening match, and each nation has lived up to those expectations.France and Spain will square off on July 14 in Arlington, while England and Argentina meet the following day in Atlanta. The winners of each match will meet in the final on July 19 in East Rutherford. The semifinal field has also been just as remarkable from a betting standpoint. Before the tournament, Spain (+450), France (+450), England (+700), and Argentina (+900) all ranked among the five favorites to lift the trophy. The only pre-tournament top-five betting favorite not to reach the semifinals was Portugal (+700), making this one of the chalkiest final fours the World Cup has ever seen. Since 1994, this is the first World Cup in which all four semifinalists were below +1000 on the oddsboard before the tournament began. Below, we broke down all of the semifinalists back to the 1994 edition, as that was the first World Cup in which rankings were used. We additionally provided context on just how historic each of the 2026 semifinalists' runs have been. This page may contain affiliate links to legal sports betting partners.

				    <![CDATA[Argentina will face Switzerland in a 2026 FIFA World Cup quarterfinals showdown on Saturday, July 11, 2026, at Kansas City Stadium on FOX. After escaping a major scare from Cape Verde in the Round of 32, Argentina was just over 10 minutes away from going home. In the Round of 16, the defending champions trailed 2-0 to Egypt before it scored three goals in a 13-minute span to complete one of the greatest comebacks in World Cup history. Argentina became the first team to win a World Cup match in regulation after trailing by two goals with 15 minutes left. La Albiceleste has now won a team-record 12 straight games and is unbeaten in a team-record 11 straight World Cup games. Lionel Messi put his nation on his back once again, delivering a beautiful assist and scoring a goal in the span of four minutes to keep Argentina's repeat dreams alive. With his goal against Egypt, Messi now has eight goals this summer, extending his World Cup record to 21 total goals as well as his World Cup record streak of nine straight games with a goal. Meanwhile, Switzerland is in the World Cup quarterfinals for the first time since 1954, as it seeks a first-ever World Cup semifinal. Switzerland’s 72-year gap between World Cup quarterfinals is the longest in tournament history. The Swiss eliminated Colombia on penalties in the Round of 16, winning a World Cup shootout for the first time in its nation's history.
