FIFA World Cup 2026 Futures and Games Picks Thread

@DiamondJack

 I went with your corner kick estimate and played over 8.5 total corners. Thanks again.

@DiamondJack

I saw you had small wager on Ochoa golden gloves but he’s not the starter in goal for Mexico. Were you expecting that and just taking a long shot thinking he might fill in and get hot? 

Mexico obvious corner ref gives goal kick hope doesn't come back to bite

KOREA V CZECHIA

3. HT Result DRAW @ 2.00/+100 (1u) Bet365

4. FT Result DRAW @ 3.10/+210 (1u) Bet365

HT/FT Result Draw/Draw @ 4.59/+350 

I expect both sides to start off slow trying to get a feel for the game. Both will be looking not to lose first. There might be some weather in Guadalajara which should further bog down the game.

 The Mexico Manager did not make a GK decision after I placed that wager he was 50/50 as a starter when I took that long shot

@winddust

 & it did ...still very poor to only manage 3 corners in the game with all that possession and being up a player.

Thx for card wager D…

Thanks for taking the time to write these preview, DJ.   

@DiamondJack

 Good to open this and see we are on the same draws!!!

1st half is in free rolling now

Brutal had the equalizer in 94th minute easy shot guy chokes

BOSNIA V CANADA

5. Canada Total Team Corners OVER 5.5 @ 2.00/+100 (1u) Bet365

Lean

Total Cards OVER 4 @ 1.80/-125

In Canadas last 5 games they had 12, 7, 9, 8, 12 corners awarded that is an average of 9.5 all I'm asking for is 6. Fecundo Tello of Argentina averages 4.78 Yellows per game & .14 Red Cards. I wanted to take this over when it was 3.5 last night but the line has moved. I may play this card prop in game. I think Bosnia will struggle to match Canadas speed and that will lead to more fouls perhaps even a penalty.

USA V PARAGUAY

6. USA ML @ 2.11/+111 (1u) Bet365

Lean

Pulisic anytime goal or assist @ 2.40/+140

These sides just met in a friendly this past November with the US winning 2-1. The US has won the last 3 head to head games. I mean if you can't beat the likes of Paraguay at home in your world cup opener then what are we doing here? I really fancy the US to make a memorable run in this world cup and that starts with your best player being in form. I think Cristian Pulisic has a good game just like the Copa America opener where he scored and assisted.

@SPERRL

All right guys I'm off to the match to see if I could score some last minute overpriced tickets 

Go Canada!

 BOL  

@DiamondJack

 Great writeups.  I really appreciate it.  BOL and enjoy the game!

Wow!

DiamondJack going to the Match!

Enjoy!

Portugal has THE best midfield and that's what it takes to win in tourneys where the teams have not played as much as cohesive as a club. But I am not that high on Portugal, mostly due to CR7's age and having an only slightly better team than previous years overall where they were mediocre. Just wish they had today's team back in 2010 South Africa  with a young CR! Would have loved to see him win one.

Love the writeups DJ!
