## Analysis

This contract asks whether Cristiano Ronaldo will score at least 3 goals across all matches at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. At 35% probability, the market reflects skepticism about his performance, despite his proven goalscoring record. The primary factors are his age (he will be 41 during the tournament) and playing time allocation by Portugal's coaching staff. Ronaldo's goal-scoring rate depends heavily on whether he remains a starter or substitute, his physical durability over a compressed tournament schedule, and the quality of service from teammates. The tournament begins in June 2026, which will be the definitive test. Markets also price in that achieving 3+ goals requires both selection and consistent involvement, not merely one standout performance.

### Key factors

- Ronaldo's age and fitness level at 41 years old during the tournament, historically a critical factor for outfield player performance
- Portugal's attacking depth and whether Ronaldo receives regular starting minutes or primarily substitute appearances
- Number of matches Portugal plays (depending on group stage performance and knockout advancement), directly affecting scoring opportunities
- His recent goal-scoring efficiency in major tournament appearances relative to minutes played
- Tournament schedule and match spacing, affecting recovery and cumulative physical toll on an aging player

## Methodology

Probability is **liquidity-weighted** across all bound Kalshi/Polymarket contracts: Σ(price × volume) ÷ Σ(volume). 30-day trajectory uses the daily mean of intraday 5-min captures. 24h delta = today's mean − yesterday's mean. Movement events are ≥3pp daily moves in the last 7 days.
