Ecuador carry the aura of a team that believes its own hype. Curaçao will not care. Ecuador will huff, stall, and look confused when a plan is needed. But Curaçao's defensive shape is a polite suggestion, not a wall. Ecuador scrapes through 2-1. No glory. No conviction. Just a limping favorite too scared to collapse completely. Simulated projection: Ecuador win probability 58.3%. 💀
