INGHILTERRA - USA

England opened at 79% and never dipped below 64% the rest of the way, closing at 71.7% of 2,382 votes — 1,707 to USA's 217. That's not a squeaker holding on; it's a nearly 8-to-1 blowout over the actual opponent, with the closest thing to drama coming from PAREGGIO (a tie prediction) grabbing second place at 19.2%.

The margin held because almost nobody defected: barely three fans voted at all across all three options, and men outvoted women roughly 10-to-1 on every side. Italy and the United States both leaned England, meaning even American-tagged votes broke for the other team.
