Talking of the WC, every tournament the economists at Goldman Sachs model the tournament
using model simulations to get probabilities for the eventual winners.
You want to know the results before the tournament starts? Of course you do.
Their model says that Spain has a 26% probability of winning the trophy, followed by France at 19%, Argentina at 14%, Brazil at 8% and England at 5%.
Boo.
