@MC_of_A And if Spain is rated a little higher but still less likely to make the final, it must be because they have 2 games (Por and USA/Bel) to get to the France semi, whereas France only has Morocco to beat to get to the semi - is that correct?
@NealGardner_ Some dude suggested pens before extra time and the winner effectively gets treated as though they have an away goal so if still even after ET, pen winner wins the game. Very interesting idea, not bad at all. Gives the guys who missed a chance at redemption.
@MC_of_A Was looking for my previous message to you, looks like your model outdid all the pundits and Athletic bs models etc. Well done, big tick for your model.
@MC_of_A Nice one, thanks for the response. Also I'm curious to see how predictive your system will be for the Portugal v Colombia game - most others favour Por winning over not winning. Thanks again.
@alexandrosM I thought he did but anyway who cares, I just wanted to point out another sharp mind came to the same conclusion. It is SO galling when someone who pretends to be rational jumps through these hoops for their pet subject. Make it worse, so ridiculous.
@TheProjectUnity You're not trying to change his mind, you're trying to convince people all over the world watching. As frustrating as it would've been is an opportunity missed.
