The favorites: France and Spain are favorites to win the tournament, making them heavy favorites to at least reach the second round of the knockout stage. In 2014, France reached the quarterfinals, followed by a championship in 2018 and a runner-up finish in 2022. The last time they failed to advance out of the group stage was in 2010. For Spain, they lost in the round of 16 in 2022 and 2018, and failed to advance out of the group stage in 2014, after having won the World Cup in 2010. However, in this betting market, Argentina are heavily favored to advance to the round of 16, as sportsbooks believe Cape Verde has little chance of upsetting the reigning champions. The host nations: The United States and Mexico are in great shape to win their round of 16 after winning their respective groups. Mexico officially won Group A after sweeping their group, while the United States won Group D after their victory over Australia and Turkey’s loss to Paraguay. Finally, after its first-ever World Cup victory, Canada will advance after finishing second in Group B. Mexico has a familiar relationship with the round of 16, having lost in this round at every tournament from 1994 to 2018 – seven tournaments in a row. In 2022, Mexico did not leave the group. As for the United States, they reached the round of 16 in 2022, did not qualify for the tournament in 2018 and reached the round of 16 in 2014 and 2010. Canada will play its first ever knockout match. Mexico faces Ecuador on Tuesday and the United States faces Bosnia-Herzegovina on Wednesday. Canada beat South Africa on Sunday,
