The 2026 World Cup draw will be rigged in favor of the United States.

The World Cup draw is tomorrow. ... I think this is gonna be the most rigged draw ever for the United States. And I put together my, this is my pick for our group: USA, Iran, South Africa, New Zealand.

The 2026 World Cup draw placed the USA in Group D with Australia, Paraguay, and a UEFA playoff winner — not with Iran, South Africa, and New Zealand as PFT predicted. The draw was not conspicuously 'rigged' for the US either, as Australia and Paraguay are competitive opponents.

My World Cup betting strategy is to bet every game in the group stage to be a tie

My strategy in the opening round of the World Cup in the group stage. I'm just gonna bet every game to be a tie. Ooh. Across the board that's, I'm rooting for ties nonstop. You usually get good plus signs next to 'em.

There were only 10 draws in the 48 group stage matches of the 2022 World Cup; betting every game to tie would have resulted in significant losses.

Ecuadorian players were paid off by the Qatari government to throw the opening World Cup match

I saw a tweet from a reporter that said that Ecuadorian players were getting paid off by the Qatari government to, you know, to let, let the Qatar [win]... they said it end [1-0] after the end of the second half.

Ecuador won the opening match 2-0; the rumor of a Qatari bribe was debunked and proved to be false.
