Ryan Delacroix is a football writer and analyst with fifteen years of experience covering the international game for broadsheet newspapers and long-form sports publications across Europe and North America. His work has appeared in outlets including The Guardian, The Observer, and FourFourTwo, where he has profiled managers, players, and the tactical movements that define football’s modern era.
Delacroix specialises in the intersection of tactical analysis and human story — the decisions behind the decisions, the coaches who shaped a player’s thinking, and the moments that determined a career’s direction. His approach is rooted in proper reporting: he prefers the specific detail over the general claim, the training ground over the press conference, and the context that explains why a result happened rather than simply the result itself.
At world-cup-odds.ca, Ryan covers the 2026 FIFA World Cup with the same rigour he brings to long-form journalism — analysing both teams, the relevant odds markets, and where the best value sits for readers who want more than a scoreline prediction. His match previews draw on squad data, tactical tendencies, and the broader narrative of each fixture within the tournament’s structure. You can find his latest analysis alongside the current world cup odds on the site’s homepage.
Ryan is based between London and Montreal.
