⚡️ Day One Matters—A Lot
Jump into the WhatsApp channel for live updates, explainers and unfolding win chancesDay One at the World Cup Final isn’t just a warm-up. In fact, six of the last six winners have also won on Day One. While 2010’s Marcus Ehning managed to come from 10th to claim the title, he’s the exception, not the rule.
So who’s poised to dominate the opening Table C speed round? Based on Prediction Center data, Ben Maher and Point Break come in hot, especially after their Wellington win. But Richard Vogel and United Touch, with that massive stride and a laser-focused prep for Basel, may just steal the show on Thursday.
Charlotte’s pick for Day One? Vogel and United Touch. Diarm’s? Point Break. Either way, tune in—because the winner tonight might well be your champion on Sunday.
