Should #England fail to win against #Panama & end up second or third in the group, their chances of getting to the #WorldCup2026 quarterfinals would be much reduced

#WorldCup2026: a win in #England’s last group match tonight would guarantee that they top the group

The likeliest result, at 14%, is a 3-0 defeat of #Panama, with 4-0 at 12% & 2-0 at 11%

Halfway through the final round of #WorldCup2026 group games, who are #England's likely opponents in the last-32 knockout stage?

According to my sources, the top probabilities are:

#Congo 31%
#Senegal 29%
#Ecuador 22%

#Scotland now have just a 7% of qualifying for the knockout

#WorldCup2026 - #Scotland play #Brazil late tonight, potentially needing a draw to ensure that they make it through to the knockout stage of a big tournament for the first time; the likeliest result (11%) is a 2-1 victory for the Brazilians, but the next likeliest is a 1-1 draw

#England vs #Ghana tonight #WorldCup2026

Scorecasting economics suggests 2-0 to England as the most likely result (14% chance); given the result against #Croatia, that might be a conservative prediction

The chance of another 4-2 win is 1%

Is football coming home? #England’s best chances of progress in the knockout stages of #WorldCup2026 would be to come third in their group – but they should definitely avoid second place; that suggests the value of a win against #Croatia tonight but a 1-1 draw is likeliest result

[Romesh Vaitilingam @econromesh]

While #WorldCup2026 Groups E & F are likely to be dominated by #Germany, #Japan & #Netherlands, in the first round of matches today & tomorrow, there’s a strong chance of further draws; but a thumping victory for Germany over tiny #Curaçao looks probable

Co-hosts #Canada open their #WorldCup2026 campaign tonight against #BosniaHerzegovina - a 1-0 or 2-0 Canada win is most likely, followed by a 1-1 draw; Canada have a 56% chance of winning, Bosnia just 18%

#WorldCup2026: late tonight, the US will begin their campaign in what is likely to be a tight Group D; #Brazil & #Morocco will dominate Group C, so #Scotland’s match against #Haiti is key to their hopes of progressing in the tournament

Strongly recommend this piece by Jessie Shapiro on HBR about the mentoring program he has been running at HBS since his arrival. It has been transformational for our junior faculty, and it's helpful for others too.
