This market centers on the 2026 FIFA World Cup group-stage fixture between Germany and Ivory Coast, with attention focused on how freely Germany can find the net across the full ninety minutes of play. The pairing is a notable focal point because it sets one of international football's most decorated nations, with deep attacking resources, against a quick, athletic Ivorian side whose defensive organisation will be tested throughout, a contrast in pedigree and approach that shapes expectations for how heavily Germany can press its advantage. Traders are assessing the likelihood that Germany scores at a high rate rather than being held to a modest tally, weighing Germany's attacking depth against Ivory Coast's defensive record and the typical scoring patterns of World Cup group-stage encounters.

1. Market Outcomes and Resolution Criteria: The market resolves YES if Germany scores more than two goals — that is, Germany's official goal tally is 3 or more. It resolves NO if Germany scores two or fewer goals (0, 1, or 2). Ivory Coast's tally and the overall result are irrelevant except insofar as they reflect Germany's own tally. There is no Tie outcome for the result itself; a Tie applies only under the postponement and cancellation conditions in Rule 5.

2. Definition of "Germany's Goal Tally": Germany's goal tally is the number of goals — including own goals — credited to Germany in the official match record over regulation time, defined as the 90 minutes of normal play plus any referee-added stoppage time in both halves, ending the moment the referee signals full-time. An own goal counts toward the team it is officially awarded to (the beneficiary team); accordingly, an own goal scored by an Ivory Coast player and credited to Germany counts as a Germany goal. As this is a group-stage fixture, no extra time or penalty shootout is played; only goals scored within regulation time count toward this market.

3. Official Sources and Evidence: Primary source: Highlightly.net API (https://highlightly.net/) for the official full-time result and goalscorer data. Secondary sources for corroboration: ESPN, BBC Sport, Soccerway, FlashScore, and the official FIFA website (fifa.com). The official FIFA match report is the definitive record in the event of any discrepancy.

4. Resolution Timing: The market resolves the moment the official full-time result is confirmed on Highlightly.net, with no additional waiting buffer. Trading may already be closed or paused under Rule 7; all open positions are locked through to resolution.

5. Handling Postponements and Cancellations: If the match is postponed, suspended, cancelled, or abandoned before full-time, the market remains open during a 12-hour waiting period to allow the fixture to be completed. If no eligible completed full-time result exists more than 12 hours past the scheduled kickoff, the market resolves to Tie, and all positions settle at $0.50 per share. Partial scores from an abandoned match are ignored unless the fixture is officially resumed and completed within the waiting window, in which case the final regulation-time result is used.

6. Ambiguities and Disputes: In the event of conflicting scoreline reports between sources, the official FIFA match report takes precedence. If the primary source (Highlightly.net) is unavailable at resolution time, a consensus of at least two secondary sources is used. Any result under active official protest or review remains unresolved until FIFA issues a final ruling.

7. Trading Window and Pause: Trading remains open throughout the match, from kickoff until the referee signals full-time. Because Germany's goal tally can only rise, the YES outcome becomes irreversibly determined the moment Germany scores its third goal; at that instant trading is paused immediately and all open positions are locked through to resolution. The NO outcome (two or fewer goals) cannot be locked before full-time, since a further Germany goal always remains possible, so trading continues to full-time and then locks pending resolution.
