- Bettors flooded the markets: Balogun jumped to co-favorite with Romelu Lukaku to score first (+525) and is a top anytime-scorer pick, forcing sportsbooks to scramble.
- The public is heavily backing the U.S. (roughly three‑quarters of tickets/money in key markets), leaving books hoping for a tight result or penalties to limit exposure.
