The biggest sporting event North America has ever hosted is in full swing, and we already have a new favorite atop the 2026 FIFA World Cup oddsboard.
After a lackluster first half that resulted in only one shot on goal, France had its 2026 World Cup breakout in the second half of Tuesday's match against Senegal.
Les Bleus stormed to a 3-1 win behind Kylian Mbappé's two goals, while Bradley Barcola added another just minutes after he came onto the pitch.
With his brace on Tuesday, Mbappé became France's all-time leader in goals with 58, passing Olivier Giroud.
He now has 14 World Cup goals, tied with Gerd Müller for the fourth-most of any man in World Cup history.
With its huge opening win, combined with Spain's shocking opening draw against Cape Verde, France is now the sole favorite to win the World Cup this summer at +410, the lowest it's been since the tournament odds came out back in December.
On Wednesday, England's odds climbed from +750 to +650 after its impressive 4-2 win over Croatia.
England's victory was its first World Cup win against a team ranked inside the top 15 in FIFA's world rankings since 2002.
Its offense looked to be firing on all cylinders, attempting 20 shots from inside the penalty area against Croatia, its highest total in a World Cup match since 1966.
The Three Lions currently sit third on the oddsboard, only trailing France and Spain.
