🌟 What’s at Stake in Groups C & D?

Group C Scenarios:

• Bayern are through. A draw or win vs Benfica means they win the group and head to Charlotte.

• Benfica need a win to leapfrog Bayern and avoid Flamengo.

• Boca needs a miracle: a big win over Auckland, a Benfica loss, and help on goal difference.

• Auckland has been eliminated — but they can still ruin Boca’s summer.

Group D Scenarios:

• Flamengo are locked into first place and will play the Group C runner-up in Miami.

• Chelsea go through with a draw vs ES Tunis.

• ES Tunis need to win to advance.

• LAFC are eliminated — and have yet to score a single goal.

📆 Tuesday’s Slate

🕒 3 PM ET – 🇳🇿 Auckland City v Boca Juniors 🇦🇷

🪣 Buckets: Over 5.5 goals (-120)

Buckets isn’t chasing a blowout — he’s forecasting a bloodbath. Boca must run up the score to have any shot at advancing, and Auckland has conceded 16 goals in 2 matches.

🕒 3 PM ET – 🇵🇹 Benfica v Bayern Munich 🇩🇪

🪣 Buckets: Bayern Over 1.5 Team Total (-135)

The Germans are already through but will want to lock up first place — and avoid Flamengo in the next round. Even a rotated Bayern can slice through this Benfica back line.

🕘 9 PM ET – 🇹🇳 ES Tunis v Chelsea 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

🪣 Buckets: Both Teams to Score (+130)
🎙️ Lahoud: Cole Palmer Anytime Assist (+220)

A true win-or-go-home for Espérance, while Chelsea just need a draw. Buckets sees a wide-open game with goals at both ends. Lahoud’s banking on Palmer to find his moment in the final third and deliver the killer pass.

🕘 9 PM ET – 🇺🇸 LAFC v Flamengo 🇧🇷

🪣 Buckets: Under 2.5 total goals (-120)

Flamengo has already clinched top spot, and LAFC has been blanked in two straight. This might feel more like a testimonial than a must-win — fading goal urgency here.

📺 Yesterday’s LIVE SHOW: Real Ones Were There

Buckets and the man himself — Michael Lahoud — went live yesterday for the tens of viewers riding with us through lineups, scripted “humor”, and unhinged live prop bets. It was fun, maybe even insightful. We’ll probably do it again soon. Probably. Maybe.

🚨 Today’s Lahoud Group D Special! 🧨

🎙️ Lahoud: SGP – Miguel Merentiel (Boca) 2+ Shots on Target
✙ Michael Olise (Chelsea) 1+ Shot on Target (+142)

One parlay. Two continents. Infinite swagger. Lahoud’s backing Boca’s Merentiel to stay aggressive and Chelsea’s Olise to test the keeper at least once. It’s cross-hemisphere clairvoyance from the man himself.

🔮 Round of 16: Two Ties Locked In

We’re just starting to get clarity, but what we know so far is spicy:

• 🇧🇷 Palmeiras v Botafogo 🇧🇷

  Two Brazilian sides. One NFL stadium in Philly. Madness.

• 🇫🇷 PSG v Inter Miami 🇺🇸

  Lionel Messi vs. his former club. In Atlanta. European Champions vs Champions of Nothing Ever. In a World Cup stadium. That’s not a match — that’s prophecy.

💰 We’re on a Week of Profit

After a shaky start, the tide has turned. Four more groups still to wrap — and we plan to be there for all of it.
