Here are some of the teams our model loves, based solely on off-the-field factors. Will it be enough to land some lower ranked teams a spot in the knockout rounds? Can’t wait to kick off! #FIFAWorldCup2026#WorldCup#WorldCup2026#WeAre26
Our model doesn’t see a ton of stressors for Group B. That’s good news for good teams to perform how they should. That said, Qatar, has an incredibly low stress score, making them an intriguing watch, and a strong consideration to advance. #WorldCup2026#FIFAWorldCup2026#WeAre26
Started a fun little World Cup passion project, that tries to analyze how factors like weather, travel, altitude, and other hidden things may impact the matches. Feel free to follow along for some interesting content. World Cup nerds unite for some discussion!
Our model is intrigued by South Africa’s experience at elevation, but also likes Korea’s lack of tournament travel. If Mexico defends home turf, who will grab the second auto qualifier spot? #WorldCup2026#FIFAWorldCup#WeAre26
@danamccall Granted, but I feel like that’s the narrative every season until it isn’t. Insanely talented squad, but they’ve struggled in these types of matchups before. Not saying they can’t pull it off.
I’m going with Vegas in six. Carolina has been unreal, but seemingly has had the equivalent of three first round opponents. Vegas also had a manageable first couple rounds, but then smoked everybody’s favorite. VGK knows how to win the big ones. Too tough to play against here.
@PantherSwag93@poman927 Understand what you’re saying, and I actually did think Ottawa was a good team. Philly not really a playoff roster in a normal season but the Metro was a mess. Montreal also good but not an elite contender as is. It wasn’t a tough path, but neither was Vegas until COL. We’ll see.
Hockey clips frequently appear on my timeline, and any time I hear Doc Emrick, I have to finish the video. The greatest ever. Always met the moment. Elite energy without faking it. Set the stage like poetry. My only regret of the Panthers Cup runs was that he wasn’t still going.
I told my hockey group chat that I was mentally preparing for Vegas Carolina on May 5. Not my cup of tea, but most matchups this year wouldn’t be. Wake me up in late June, Fam.
Ended up with an extra pair of tickets for the Brazil v Scotland World Cup match in Miami on June 24. Looking to sell for a price comparable to what they’re going for online. Sec 320. Would prefer selling to someone I know/someone I know knows and can verify.
@pimpmuffin07 Absolutely true. And Colorado has more talent. But they also have upset red flags and anyone that’s watched a lot knows Vegas frequently finds a way to win. It’s a good upset pick.
I’ve watched these cores enough the last while that I was surprised by the overwhelming thought that Colorado would roll through. This series should be close, and Vegas could easily win in six.
Come hang out on my Twitch channel throughout the offseason, where I will be holding random contests and game nights to give away old Panthers playoff rally towels from the previous few years. This is just some of what will be available. Follow https://t.co/Gg62ancpvX
Fun series. Not sure either team is exceptional, and probably makes the other look better. Optional goaltending. Wild experiment about to happen with Carolina. If they lose, expect a reckoning with future scheduling. Best shot for this Canes team to make SCF. Got my popcorn ready
