Argentina beat Algeria 3-0 as Lionel Messi scored a brilliant hat-trick to settle the match. Shepherd’s draw signal faded after Messi’s early opener, but the Under 3.5 Goals pick still pointed to a controlled win for Argentina.

Mbappe broke France's all-time scoring record as France beat Senegal 3-1 at the FIFA World Cup 2026 Group I fixture. But Senegal’s strong first half showed why Shepherd’s draw signal deserved attention.

The Netherlands looked set to follow our market script, but Japan kept dragging the match back into balance. A 2-2 draw validated Shepherd’s strongest pre-game signal, with Japan’s organisation and equalisers proving why we predicted a match closer than the market suggested.

Germany’s 7-1 win over Curaçao showed why the market made Die Mannschaft heavy favourites, though Shepherd correctly hinted at early resistance. Curaçao kept the game competitive and found a special equaliser. But once Germany went 2-1 up, the match turned into a complete rout.
