It opened its pursuit for a third World Cup title with a 3-1 win against Senegal. Les Bleus followed that up with a dominating 3-0 win over Iraq on Monday. France will face Norway in a heavyweight showdown to decide Group I on Friday as it eyes a deep tournament run once again. France would win the group with a win or draw against Norway.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\" data-v-a2155f14>While its opening draw against Cape Verde was a nightmare start to the tournament, Spain remains the second choice after its bounce-back 4-0 win over Saudi Arabia on Sunday. Spain has appeared in 16 previous World Cups and won the tournament once, lifting the trophy in 2010. It also won the 2024 Euros. It will look to bounce back and follow Argentina&#8217;s route to the title in 2022, after its disappointing first result of the tournament.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\" data-v-a2155f14><strong>Biggest Risers:<\/strong> Could the USA and Mexico have gotten off to better starts? After winning its first three group games, Mexico has officially won Group A and has clinched a spot in the knockout round. In its opening match, Mexico was dominant in a 2-0 win over South Africa. Then, El Tri edged out a 1-0 win over South Korea. And to put the icing on the cake, Mexico dominated Czechia 3-0 to go unbeaten in the group stage without giving up a single goal. Meanwhile, the USA won Group D, which allows it to play Bosnia and Herzegovina in the Round of 32 at San Francisco Bay Area Stadium on July 1. Switzerland has also moved up the oddsboard from +10000 to +7000 after beating Canada and clinching Group B.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>POPULAR SEARCHES BROWSE BY The biggest sporting event North America has ever hosted is in full swing, and we already have a ton of movement atop the 2026 FIFA World Cup oddsboard.\u00a0 Let&#8217;s dive into the full odds via FanDuel Sportsbook, as of June 26.
