#BinancePickAndWin Championship resilience and penalty confidence
Goalkeeper Martínez is the ace in the World Cup penalty shootout, and Argentina has survived multiple rounds of knockout matches that went to extra time and penalties—showing extremely strong grit in tough games. In contrast, England has long suffered from a “penalty curse,” with a lower win rate in major tournaments’ penalty shootouts. - Key starters such as Messi and Otamendi are older; this edition has already seen them play several rounds that went to extra time, making stamina reserves an obvious weakness. - England’s squad is younger and their overall squad value is higher; Bellingham’s attacking firepower is strong, and their wide attacks are very threatening, so they will keep pressuring Argentina’s back line.
