Brazil is the favorite to win the World Cup in 2022, with France, England and Spain also in the running.
Brazil was the favorite after the draw was released. England is 6-1, followed by France at 11-2, and Spain at 15-2.
The United States is a long shot. Mexico is 100-1 at a casino.
The winner of the last remaining European playoff was placed in Group B with England, IR Iran and the USMNT. Wales will face either Scotland or Ukraine in June in order to qualify for the World Cup. The U.S. will play England, IR Iran and the winner of the World Cup playoffs on Nov. 21.
England opened as a -400 favorite to win the group with USMNT next at 6-1.
Bettors in the U.S. are facing significant liability on the Americans because of the increased odds to win the World Cup. Adam Pullen, assistant director of trading, said that the USMNT winning the World Cup had reached seven figures. Pullen said that it is only going to grow.
If the U.S. and Mexico do win, we are going to be in big trouble. I don't know how much patriotism it will take for me to ignore a huge amount of liability.
Germany and Argentina are among the top contender according to the odds. Both Portugal and Belgium are 12-1.
Costa Rica, which beat the U.S. 2-0 in qualification this week, is listed as the biggest long shot.
