Curator's Watch
🏴Englandvs🇨🇩Congo DR
Curator note: England open as heavy favourites (~73% on the 1X2, handicap around -1.75) against a Congo DR side making their first-ever World Cup knockout appearance, with the total priced moderate (~2.4-2.5). This is a classic mega-favourite-vs-underdog spot with two-way variance — England's quality can force a rout, or a disciplined Congo DR low-block can keep it low — so the lineup window will matter: whether England rotate after advancing, and whether Congo DR (Wissa/Bakambu) carry a threat or set up to contain. Watching only, no position yet.
