Spain to win in regulation (+130)
Spain vs Argentina — 2026 World Cup Final · You Better You Bet, 2026-07-17 · ·

“Yeah, I have my head and my heart play here. Both side with Spain. I'm rooting personally for Argentina and Messi and capping off this just crazy run. My head play is Spain in 90 minutes. I just think that they're going to find a goal in this game, and they're going to win it probably 1-0 in 90 minutes. There's something to that effect. To lift the trophy, if you want to do that, you're going to give up some of the juice a little bit, but still Spain. I think Spain is just the efficient team. They match up so well with Argentina in terms of if they get a lead, they're going to hold it, unlike Egypt, unlike England. They are a team that you cannot play from behind against, and Argentina has been falling behind in these games. You cannot fall behind against this Spain team. So I'm looking at Spain to win in 90. I think it was plus 130 the last I looked at it. The heart play, I said the head play. The head play is just Spain winning in 90.”

0-0 through 90 minutes; 1-0 final after extra time — Spain and Argentina were scoreless through 90 minutes; Spain only won 1-0 after Ferran Torres scored in extra time, so Spain did not win the final in regulation (ESPN box score).

Spain 1-0 correct score with Lamine Yamal to score
Spain vs Argentina — 2026 World Cup Final · You Better You Bet, 2026-07-17 · ·

“The heart play, and you get crazy odds on this, is 1-0 correct score Spain, Lamin-Yemal the goal score. It just feels, PJ, in this universe where a picture exists of Messi bathing a four-month-old Lamin-Yemal, it just feels like Spain winning this game on a Lamin-Yemal goal is the perfect poetic end to Messi's World Cup career and the passing of the torch. So that's the heart play. I sprinkled a little bit on that just because it feels like it could be written in the stars just because that bathtub picture exists.”

1-0 — Spain won the final 1-0, but the goal came from Ferran Torres in extra time, not Lamine Yamal in regulation, so the correct-score/scorer combo missed (ESPN box score).
