3 prediction markets price this story:

• Mexico — the market puts it at 3%, with $98 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 15 Jan 2031. Mexico wins the 2030 FIFA Men's World Cup for the outcome to be Yes. Mexico does not win for the outcome to be No. Readers often mistake the linked story about match prospects as the deciding factor, but only the final tournament champion matters.
• Will United States win on 2026-10-03? — resolved “Yes” on 4 Oct 2026. The United States wins if it scores more goals than Mexico during the first 90 minutes of regular play plus stoppage time in the match scheduled for October 3, 2026. The market resolves to "No" if the game is canceled with no make-up, or if the US does not win within that specific timeframe.
• United States vs. Mexico: Both Teams to Score — resolved “No” on 4 Oct 2026. The Yes outcome occurs if both teams score at least one goal during the first 90 minutes plus stoppage time. The No outcome applies if either team fails to score any goals in that period. Readers often mistake the resolution source, but the official final result from FIFA takes precedence over other data providers.
