“For the tournament, our models evaluate the strength of each team through a variety of factors such as previous win/loss/tie record in qualification matches and other international competitions and margin of victory in these contests, adjusted for location since home field advantage is a known bias.

Just read the article... It is a bit more in depth than just randomly picking teams like the octopus. They put all types of stats into it, and it comes to the obvious conclusion.
I don't think there has been an upset in the knockouts, so it isn't that impressive tbf.

Germany v Brazil is hard to call. Germany have a habit of semi final flops, Brazil miss two key players.
Can see that being a very drab game that can go either way.

I cant bring myself to back against Brazil. Their home record is scary.

Brazil = Chelsea
Germany = Arsenal
Holland = Man Utd
Argentina = Man City

Personally, that's the only one I just can't envisage. There will be at least one South American team in the final and I think two.

Nah Brazil vs Argentina World Cup final in Brazil. The rivalry and obviously the fact that it's the World Cup final would make it one of the biggest games ever
