Tournament outrights — open positions

Golden Boot: Bruno Fernandes 130.0, Yamal 36.0, Messi 26.0, Gakpo 50.0

Golden Ball: Bruno Fernandes 19.0

World Cup Winner: 2.5pts Argentina at 5.20; 0.5pts Mexico at 70.0, 1pt Spain at 8.60

Argentina have the cleanest route to the semi final with expected opponents Cape Verde > Egypt > Colombia

Question marks over both Brazil and England, leaves Mexico with a great opportunity to get to at least the QF by leveraging home / host status.

Spain have drifted a lot since the start of the tournament but in reality Portugal are the only real side preventing them getting to the QFs and beyond. 

Germany, Netherlands and France all sit in the one bracket and although France are clearly the strongest, cases can be made for all three and for now, we’ll watch how that side of the draw plays out.
