The knockout stage is where stars become heroes, and Monday's World Cup slate features no shortage of elite attacking talent.
Rather than forcing long-shot parlays, I've built three same-game parlays around goalscorers I believe are set up for success based on the matchup.
Here are my favorite World Cup picks for June 29, along with the latest World Cup odds for each SGP.
Best World Cup parlays for Monday, June 29
| Match | Picks | Odds |
|---|---|---|
 BRAvs.  JPN |
Cunha Ueda |
+1000 |
 GERvs.  PAR |
Musiala Wirtz |
+650 |
 NEDvs.  MAR |
Gakpo Diaz |
+1200 |
Brazil vs Japan parlay: +1000
Matheus Cunha has already scored three times and should continue to get premium service from Brazil's creators, especially if Japan are forced to defend for long stretches.
Ayase Ueda is the live underdog leg here. He has two goals already, moves well between the lines, and can punish a Brazil back line that has looked a step slow when dragged out of shape. This is a proper long-shot SGP with real paths on both sides.

Germany vs Paraguay parlay: +650
Paraguay are likely to defend deep with 10 behind the ball, which puts Germany's creators at the center of this bet. Florian Wirtz still has not scored, but this is the type of matchup where his shooting from deeper areas becomes valuable.
Jamal Musiala already has a goal and remains Germany's best broken-play attacker. If Paraguay clog the box, Germany may need quality from distance, and both players fit that script.

Netherlands vs Morocco parlay: +1200
Cody Gakpo has two goals already and continues to be one of the Netherlands' cleanest routes to goal, especially when he can cut inside and attack space.
Brahim Díaz has not scored yet, but the number is too good to ignore. He creates enough chances, carries Morocco's most dangerous wide threat profile, and has the talent to flip a knockout match with one moment. At +1200, this is the value swing.
