Market context

The underlying real-world event is the FIFA World Cup match between France and Iraq, scheduled for 5:00 PM ET on 22 June 2026, where France enters as a dominant favourite with moneyline odds of roughly -1500 to win outright[2]. In prediction markets, a YES share represents a bet that a specific player prop condition will be met (such as a player scoring or completing a set number of passes), while a NO share bets that it will not; the current crowd-implied probability of 0% YES suggests the market believes the specific prop in question is virtually impossible under the match conditions.

Historically, matches between top-tier European nations and lower-ranked entrants in World Cups often see massive goal differentials, with France’s spread of -2.5 implying a need for four goals to cover, a scenario that has occurred in comparable fixtures like their 4-0 victories in recent tournaments[3]. This heavy skew in expected scoring frames the 0% probability as a rational anchor, since player props requiring rare defensive actions or low-scoring outcomes from Iraq are statistically negligible when France’s attack, led by Kylian Mbappé, is projected to dominate possession and shots on target[2].

Traders should monitor pre-match squad announcements confirming player availability, particularly for key French attackers like Mbappé and Adrien Rabiot, whose pass attempts and shot volumes are central to most prop lines[1]. Recent coverage from Fox Sports highlights that Mbappé’s three-plus shots on target is a strong statistical trend, having cleared in eight of his last nine competitive matches with France, which traders can use to validate related prop expectations[2]. Additionally, any late injury updates or tactical shifts announced by the French coaching staff before the settlement window ends on 22 June will be the primary catalysts that could alter the probability landscape for any remaining player props.

Methodology

Methodologically we separate two layers: the live probability (Polymarket mid-price) and the platform attributes (fee, KYC, settlement currency, payment rails). The odds column is filled only where we have clean data — that avoids the made-up numbers that get a network demoted when search engines cross-check against the source venue.

Resolution & payout

Settlement runs on-chain. Polymarket's contract logic separates YES and NO shares as conditional tokens; at resolution the winning share lifts to $1.00 and the losing one to $0. The outcome input comes from the UMA Optimistic Oracle, which secures against bad resolution with a bond + dispute window.

Once finalised, the smart contract pays USDC to the holders' wallets within minutes — no withdrawal fees beyond Polygon network gas. Kalshi settles in USD via CFTC clearance, Betfair in account currency net of commission, Manifold in play-money mana with no cash-out.
