The Moroccan team celebrates after winning on penalty kicks in the World Cup round of 32 match against the Netherlands in Guadalupe near Monterrey, Mexico, on June 29, 2026.(Sofia Yaker/AP Photo)One of my favorite tweets that I've seen about the World Cup this season is from someone making suggestions about how to make soccer better.
Someone reposted about how it is the biggest sport in the world, and you don't need to change things just to accommodate people who watch occasionally.It is an instance where both sides are correct.
However, watching two penalty kick outcomes yesterday, I couldn't believe any game ever would end without them.It just makes watching the game better.
Maybe we will get lucky and have some more today.France vs.SwedenThis is one of a handful of games this round where people already seem to think the winner is predetermined.
There are a number of ways to bet on soccer -- there is the moneyline, which includes the 90 minutes, and then up to another 30 minutes of extra time.If it goes to penalty kicks, this would be a draw.
The total does not include penalty kicks either.France is a -340 moneyline favorite.
The draw is at +500, so that should give you a good idea of how most expect this game to go.France is a true favorite to win the World Cup, so it would be a big shock to even see this go to penalties.
France should win this game 2-0 or 3-1.There is one clear play here: give me France -1.5 on the spread at -125.ZERO BS.
JUST DAKICH.TAKE THE DON'T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD.
