World Cup History
Martinez was the hero of Qatar 2022. His penalty saves in the quarter-final shootout against Netherlands and the final against France were the defining moments of Argentina's run. He won the Golden Glove as the tournament's best goalkeeper. His mind games — taunting opponents before penalty kicks — became iconic. At 33 and in strong form at Aston Villa, Martinez enters 2026 as the consensus best goalkeeper in international football.

Value Pick
Over 2.5 Tournament Goals looks like the play. Pulisic's 0.00 G/90 rate this season, combined with being the primary creator and penalty taker for a home nation expected to go deep, makes this line hittable. In 2022 he scored the biggest goal of the tournament for the US despite only playing ~240 minutes. With a projected 420+ minutes in 2026, the math favors the over.
