## About

This market asks which nation will finish the 2026 FIFA World Cup with the most total goals across all rounds. Polymarket, which hosts nearly all of the roughly $1.13 million in volume, resolves the market using official FIFA information, with tiebreakers based on FIFA's declared leader, tournament progression, and finally alphabetical order. Limitless lists the same event but has drawn under $1,000 in volume so far.

France is the clear favourite at 59.0% on both Polymarket and Limitless, more than twice the implied probability of second-placed Argentina at 24.6%. The gap between the top two and the rest of the field is stark: Norway sits at 5.7%, England at 5.3%, and both Belgium and Spain at 2.4%, with every other listed nation priced at 0.7% or lower. That distribution signals the market views the top-scoring nation race as a near two-horse contest, weighted heavily toward France.

Cross-platform pricing is tight for the leaders, with France and Argentina identical across both venues. The largest spreads sit in the mid-tier: Belgium is 2.4% on Polymarket versus 0.7% on Limitless (1.70 points), and Spain is 2.4% on Limitless versus 1.8% on Polymarket. Overall, Polymarket and Limitless agree closely on the favourites and diverge only on lower-probability outcomes.
