France or Argentina, who wins the World cup 2026?

[Smartprofit]

I don't like how the semi finals has played out because it looks like the expected match between France and Argentina might not happen because bookies are already pricing England to beat Argentina and these guys have the data to back them, unless VAR and refs come to their rescue  

At this point its may the best team win as can't separate them🏆 🙌

Perhaps there are simply more active England fans in the world than active Argentina fans? 🙋

Bookmakers' odds depend not only on the actual potential of football teams but also on fan bets. There are far more England fans than Argentina fans because there are far more English-speaking people in the world than Spanish-speaking people.

Furthermore, many fans don't want Argentina to win, as they are the current world champions. People want something new. I, for example, notice this sentiment among forum participants.

That's a valid reason,  but only one problem these odds are prematch before anybody could even put in their bets..so can we still stick to the theory of having more fans from one camp putting money on team England?? Perhaps I would be a good strategy to track odds movement and go with what the majority are expecting to happen, Just hope I won't be a lost sheep because majority don't always win  

Personally, I believe Argentina's chances of winning are much more realistic than England's. With all due respect to the English football team, in my opinion, they are weaker than Argentina.

Same boat on this one, guess sticking to ones gut feeling still carries weight..

Frankly, I prefer a different strategy: betting against the majority. This strategy works very well in trading. In my opinion, it works well in gambling as well. 🙋

Most people on our planet are prone to making mistakes regarding many obvious and unobvious things. By exploiting this fact, a professional bettor gains the opportunity to win in the long run by betting against the majority.

The majority only wins on the Polymarket platform! 🙂 But there's a catch...
In fact, it's not the majority at all, but smart experts and insiders who bet completely consciously because they understand they're betting real money.

As for bookmakers' preliminary odds, I think they take absolutely everything into account from the very beginning. Including information about the number of English-speaking and Spanish-speaking people on our planet. The bookmaking business is based on predictions, on anticipating the future. And businessmen (unlike bettors) analyze the information very carefully before setting odds. 💁

There was an opinion that England would have a hard time dealing with Mexico, so somehow they succeeded. Afterwards, there was also talk that it was uncertain with Norway, so they won again.
It may have seemed uncertain, but what was evident was that they had much more strength than both previous opponents.
At the same time, Argentina may not have had too demanding opponents, with due respect to Egypt and Switzerland, so they again struggled to solve the matches. Eng is much more potent than their previous opponents, I would say fairly equal chances.

Argentina struggled to win Swizerland and we all know they wouldn’t have qualified if not for the red card given to the opponent. If they had met Norway of France in quarter finals, the journey would have been over. That’s why i said i don’t see the winning at all. Even though they have played well so far(all thanks to Messi). England will definitely pocket them and send them home. Thank God wednesday is close; the argument wil soon be over. So be there!

Majority of us also want to see France and England face eachother finals so bad

I also think the final will be France vs England, barring any help from the upper echelons of FIFA, England should win easily against Argentina, which hasn’t faced any truly formidable or strong teams so far. France is an incredibly talented team, and England is the only one that can give them some headache. We will see if “It’s Coming Home” happens this time around.

I hope that’s the case—for the sake of soccer, I hope it’s a well-refereed match, without any kind of bias, and that England obviously wins. It’s about time FIFA stopped playing its game of favoritism, which is so exhausting for everyone. I know Messi and Argentina fans will say that’s not true, but deep down, everyone knows that’s how things are. Let’s hope these semifinals are finally fair and good for betting.

I thought as much, so may football fans never expected England to come this far, they have been doubting them in almost all their games after the group stage, but they keep winning their matches and now here they are in the semifinal.

I also have the same feeling that England will not be an easy win for Argentina, in fact with the way both teams are playing and with the quality of players they both have, England is better with the exception of Messi in the Argentina team, but even with him, they also struggle to survive some stages including against Egypt and also against Switzerland, so they are also not playing that well that will give them an easy ticket ahead of England.
I still think that England can still make it to the final.

If England wins this world cup, it's going to come out as a shock to most of us because someone likee expected that they would have exited the world cup before this time. Against all the odds and the fact that people are used to seeing an English team that's average, it's actually good to see that they've come this far. Argentina still remains favourite to defending Thier title but if England can knock them out, then it's possible things is set to favour England this edition of the world cup and harry cNe will be taking this honour unto himself.
