Pinnacle Podcast

The biggest game in world football is here. On Episode 106 of Pinnacle FC, Gareth Wheeler and Jake Osgathorpe deliver the most comprehensive betting breakdown of the series for the 2026 World Cup Final between Spain and Argentina at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey on Sunday, July 19.
Is this the most compelling matchup the tournament could have produced? Spain and Argentina have never faced each other in a World Cup Final, making Sunday's showpiece a historic first.
Spain is seeking their second World Cup title after lifting the trophy in South Africa in 2010, led by 19-year-old Lamine Yamal, Rodri, and tournament top scorer Mikel Oyarzabal.
Argentina, the defending champions, are looking to become the first back-to-back World Cup winners since Brazil captured the 1958 and 1962 titles, and they've done it the hard way, surviving dramatic late comebacks in virtually every knockout game. 
Match history and context, sides and totals analysis, player props including goalscorer markets, bookings, game props, and Gareth and Jake's final best bets and predictions for the biggest game of the year.
After breaking down the final, Gareth and Jake break down the third-place game between France and England in Miami on Saturday, July 18; two teams that dominated for large stretches of this tournament and still have plenty to play for in the market.

The World Soccer Cup is down to four. On Episode 105 of Pinnacle FC, Gareth Wheeler and Jake Osgathorpe open with reactions to a stunning quarterfinal round: France dispatching Morocco 2-0, Spain edging Belgium 2-1 with Mikel Merino the hero again, Jude Bellingham's extra-time brace sending England past Norway 2-1, and Argentina surviving yet again to beat Switzerland 3-1 after extra time, before turning to the updated futures market heading into the final four.
Then it's a deep dive into both semifinal matchups. First, France vs Spain in Dallas on July 14: the two most consistent teams of the tournament meeting in what promises to be a tactical masterpiece. Then, England vs Argentina in Atlanta on July 15: a rematch loaded with history, with England chasing their first title since 1966 and Messi's Argentina looking to defend their title.
Both games get the full treatment: sides, totals, player props including goalscorer markets and bookings, market breakdowns, and Gareth and Jake's best bets and predictions for what promises to be two unforgettable semifinal fixtures.

Episode 104 of Pinnacle FC arrives at the business end of the 2026 World Soccer Cup. Gareth Wheeler and Jake Osgathorpe open with reactions to the Round of 32 and Round of 16, the knockout stage that delivered sensational upsets and dramatic comebacks, and to a tournament that has completely defied expectations heading into the quarterfinals.
Brazil eliminated by Norway, Germany out on penalties against Paraguay, the Netherlands taken out by Morocco, Belgium destroying the USA 4-1, Argentina surviving two consecutive last-gasp escapes and needing extra time to see off Cape Verde before Messi's late magic rescued a 3-2 win over Egypt. The storylines for this tournament have been insane, and Gareth and Jake break down what it all means for the markets.
With the field now whittled to eight: France, Morocco, Belgium, Spain, Norway, England, Argentina, and Switzerland, the outright picture has shifted dramatically. Gareth and Jake assess the updated odds for the winner, the Golden Boot race with Haaland, Mbappé, and Kane all still alive, and where the value lies heading into the final stretch.
Then it's on to the four quarterfinal matchups: France vs Morocco in Boston, Belgium vs Spain in Los Angeles, Norway vs England in Miami, and Argentina vs Switzerland in Kansas City. Every game gets a full breakdown, best bets, predictions, and market analysis for what promises to be four extraordinary fixtures.
