What Were the Odds of That? Qtr Finals, World Cup 2022

The World Cup Quarter Finals have concluded and while two of the tournament favourites progress, Brazil found themselves on the wrong end of a penalty shootout with Croatia. With the semi finals set to begin on Tuesday, let’s take a look at the odds.

Brazil Eliminated
The shocks continued into the quarter finals of the 2022 World Cup, with Croatia eliminating tournament favourites Brazil. Brazil to a 1-0 in the 106th minute before Petkovic would reply for Croatia in the 117th. Croatia would go on to win 5-3 on penalties sending Brazil out of the World Cup and setting up a semi final date with Argentina.
Morocco Continues Their Run
If eliminating Spain in the Round of 16 wasn’t enough, Morocco continues their unlikely run with a 1-0 victory over Portugal. Morocco would take a 1-0 just prior to half time and would hold on to eliminate Portugal, in match in which they allowed their opponents over 73% of possession.

Argentina vs Morocco is listed at odds of 6.50 while a rematch of the 2018 World Cup final, France vs Croatia is currently priced at odds of 4.0.
World Cup Winner Odds Movement
Four nations remain in the 2022 World Cup. France are now favoured following their victory over England. The French are into odds of 2.10 having begun the tournament at odds of 10.0, while Argentina remain second favourite overcoming the Netherlands and progressing on penalties.
Croatia began the tournament at odds of 67.0 and now find themselves one victory away from consecutive World Cup finals, while the Cinderella story of the tournament, Morocco continue their unlikey run, defeating Portugal in the quarter finals. Starting the tournament at odds of 351.0, Morocco are now are odds of 12.50 to win the World Cup.
Brazil were favoured to win the World Cup from the kickoff, starting at odds of 4.50 and going shorter than odds of 3.0 leading up to their quarter final with Croatia. Bookmakers rejoiced seeing Brazil eliminated prior to the semi finals.
