United States vs. Paraguay - Exact Score

Platform comparison

Active sub-markets

Market context

The United States and Paraguay will meet in the group stage of the 2026 FIFA World Cup on 12 June at 9:00 PM ET. This market settles on the exact final score after 90 minutes plus stoppage time, excluding extra time and penalties. Any outcome not explicitly listed resolves to "Any Other Score." The 10% crowd probability assigned to this binary reflects the specificity required: bettors must predict not merely a winner, but a precise scoreline from a defined set of outcomes, a considerably higher bar than match result markets.

Historical precedent from World Cup group-stage matches suggests exact-score markets typically concentrate probability mass on the most common outcomes—1–0, 2–1, and 0–0 results—whilst rarer scorelines (4–2, 3–3) carry minimal implied likelihood. The USA–Paraguay fixture carries additional context: Paraguay has qualified for the 2026 tournament and historically performs competitively in CONMEBOL qualifying, though the Americans have generally dominated recent head-to-head encounters. Group-stage matches between teams of differing strength often produce narrow margins; the current 10% probability distributed across all listed exact scores suggests the crowd views this as a relatively open fixture without a dominant scoreline expectation.

Traders should monitor squad announcements and injury updates closer to June 2026, particularly regarding key USA and Paraguay players. Fixture scheduling within the group stage may affect team rotation and intensity. Under German GlüStV regulations, this market remains accessible to EU-based traders; US CFTC reach typically exempts prediction markets under $1,500 notional value per user, meaning traders in certain US jurisdictions may access this market without KYC verification up to that threshold, though platform-specific terms apply.

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

At resolution the UMA oracle takes over: a proposer posts the outcome with a bond, any token holder can dispute within two hours. Without dispute the result is accepted and the smart contract distributes USDC instantly.

On Kalshi (CFTC-regulated) resolution runs through their in-house clearing engine in USD. Betfair Exchange settles after match end in the account's local currency. Manifold pays no cash — only its in-platform "mana" currency.

FAQ

Is this market available outside the US?

Polymarket KYC UK is available in most jurisdictions where Polymarket isn't directly accessible. Polymarket itself is geo-blocked in the US/UK/EU. Always check local regulations.

How does resolution work?

Through the UMA Optimistic Oracle on Polygon: a proposer submits the outcome, a two-hour challenge window opens, and USDC payouts settle automatically once the result is final.

What's the difference between YES and NO shares?

A YES share pays $1.00 if the event happens, $0 otherwise. A NO share pays $1.00 if the event doesn't happen. The market price between 0¢ and 100¢ is the implied probability.

What does it cost to trade on Polymarket KYC UK?

Zero. Polymarket KYC UK routes every order to the live Polymarket order book; the only cost is the Polygon network fee, typically under $0.01 per transaction.
