World Cup upset predictions are the most shared posts every June—Japan beating a giant, Morocco repeating 2022 magic, a host nation shocking a favourite. Malaysians love long prices and mamak “I told you so” moments. This guide is discussion and risk framing, not a tip sheet—upsets happen, just not as often as Twitter claims. Related on this site: slots, live casino, sportsbook, lottery and the blog hub.
What counts as an upset?
