Model Reasoning

France 20,6%

France (21% to win the tournament)

• France win the whole tournament in 21% of simulations — among the top contenders.

• France are among the strongest sides in the model's ratings, which drives their deep-run probability.

• France are heavy favourites to advance from their group (100% in simulations).

Simulated run: 100% advance group, 43% reach semis, 21% win it all.

Spain 14,4%

Spain (14% to win the tournament)

• Spain win the whole tournament in 14% of simulations — among the top contenders.

• Spain are among the strongest sides in the model's ratings, which drives their deep-run probability.

• Spain are heavy favourites to advance from their group (100% in simulations).

Simulated run: 100% advance group, 38% reach semis, 14% win it all.

Argentina 11,2%

Argentina (11% to win the tournament)

• Argentina are among the strongest sides in the model's ratings, which drives their deep-run probability.

• Argentina are heavy favourites to advance from their group (100% in simulations).

• Argentina lift the trophy in 11% of simulations — a credible outside shot.

Simulated run: 100% advance group, 50% reach semis, 11% win it all.

Morocco 5,9%

Morocco (6% to win the tournament)

• Morocco are among the strongest sides in the model's ratings, which drives their deep-run probability.

• Morocco are heavy favourites to advance from their group (100% in simulations).
