“Let's close out the episode with our best bets presented by Hard Rock Bets Sportsbook. And Daniele, thank you so much for coming with a five-leg parlay here at plus 476. Got to swing for the fences. This is the time to change your fortune in the World Cup. And what better way to do it than with a five-leg parlay that's paying out close to five to one. Walk me through each leg and why you're so confident. No point in sitting on the fence at this stage. So the first leg is to Morocco to qualify. I think it's the end of the road for Canada. Morocco are by far the best African side and they performed consistently against top oppositions. So they're lucky because they played the Netherlands, who are stronger than Canada, and now they play someone slightly weaker. I think they're going to qualify in whichever shape or form. France to win, it goes without saying. Tournament favorites, they're not Germany. Paraguay have been a great story, but I'm afraid for La Biroja, that is the end. France are going to win with a couple of goals margin for sure. And now comes the tricky bit. Brazil, Norway both team to score, yes, We did say before in the video, the value really is on the attack of both teams. Two teams that are imperfect, but with so much firepower up front. Brazil can get overrun in midfield. Norway, only one clean sheet in the last. I think it's going to be at least a 1-1. And then two double chances for the host nations. Mexico, double chance against England. They are not going to lose. I'm not saying they're going to qualify. I said they're not going to lose in a very tight game. And the U.S., double chance against Belgium. I think they will qualify. But to be safe, just go draw or win for the U.S. All together, 476.”

Canada 0-3 Morocco; Paraguay 0-1 France; Brazil 1-2 Norway; Mexico 2-3 England; USA 1-4 Belgium — FIFA records Morocco 3-0 Canada, France 1-0 Paraguay, Brazil 1-2 Norway, Mexico 2-3 England, and USA 1-4 Belgium; Mexico's and USA's double-chance legs lost, so the parlay lost.

Argentina advanced and regulation ended 1-1 (2 goals, so the 'total goals 1-4' leg wins on the 90-minute score), but Lautaro Martínez neither scored nor assisted in regulation — Messi's 29' goal was assisted by Lisandro Martínez — so that leg busts; parlay lost.

Spain to win + Spain to score first + Spain Over 1.5 goals + Saudi Arabia first card (4-leg parlay) (-120)
Spain vs Saudi Arabia — 2026 World Cup (bet builder) · The Action Network Sports Betting Podcast, 2026-06-20 · ·
  • Saudi Arabia to receive first card of the match won
  • Spain ML won
  • Spain to score first goal won
  • Spain Over 1.5 team goals won

“Daniele, I'm excited to see this one. This is a complicated bet right out of the chute for you. So walk me through the price point, how you came to this, kind of unpack everything from this play. To find value on Spain, Saudi Arabia, where the Spanish are so favorite, you need to work out a parlay or go with a massive Asian handicap for Spain. I prefer the first choice. My choice is Saudi Arabia to receive the first card in the match, Spain to win the match, Spain to score the first goal, and Spain to score over 1.5 goals. So basically, Spain to win 2-0, to score, of course, the first goal, and Saudi Arabia to get the booking. And why? Because I think Spain is going to control the ball as much as they did against Cap Verdi. They had 74% possession. I can't see really Saudi Arabia getting a sniff of the ball here. Therefore, eventually, whereas Cap Verdi only made one foul in the game, I think Saudi Arabia are much more in the mould of Qatar, which are very faulty and very physical side. So they're going to try to harass Spain much more and eventually they're going to get a booking here. Not necessarily a red card, as Qatar have done against Canada, but at least a booking. Yami Yamal is going to start this game and I think so is Nico Williams. I mean, you take away the two best players from many teams, you take away Oli Zembape, you take away Bellingham and Kane and so on and so forth. Every team is going to struggle because these players are super players are almost irreplaceable. But in the 15, 20 minutes that Yamal has been on the pitch against Capo Verde, Spain have created more chances and more XG than in the previous 70. And I think that's how they're going to start this game. They're going to start in the front foot. And I think they're going to score in the first half. Let's face it, 27 shots against Cape Verde. Any other time you replay the game, it finishes 3-0. And we are talking about a routine performance from Spain. Saudi Arabia conceded 22 shots in the second half against Uruguay. I think they're going to do a Qatar. They're not going to be able to resist. Qatar did 1-1 against Switzerland. See what happened in the second half against, in the second match against Canada. So yeah, just to reiterate it, a four-leg parlay, which pays minus 120 for a healthy win for Spain with Qatar to get a card, the first card of the match, in fact.”

Spain 4-0 Saudi Arabia — FIFA's technical report confirms every leg of the stored Spain–Saudi Arabia result. (Spain scored first; Saudi Arabia first card: Feras Albrikan, 30th minute)
