Group D Probabilities — FIFA World Cup 2026 🇹🇷🇺🇸🇵🇾🇦🇺

The fourth group, and the last to feature a host nation, with the USA aiming to make a deep run on home soil. Turkey arrive as many people's dark horses, with a gifted young generation who could light up the tournament and fire them back to the heights of their third-place run in 2002.

U20 Points Leaders — Top 5 Leagues 2025/2026

The next generation is taking over. Lamine Yamal is the U20 MVP in Europe's top 5 leagues, with 16 goals and 11 assists directly securing 17 points for Barcelona in La Liga.

Some new faces feature too. Kylian Mbappé's younger brother Ethan sits 7th with 7 points for Lille, and a few of these names could play a real role at this World Cup.

Most surprising of all? The first Serie A player doesn't appear until 25th, raising the question of whether Italy is the place to be for young talent chasing minutes.

Group C Probabilities — FIFA World Cup 2026 🇧🇷🇲🇦🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇭🇹

The third group, headlined by Brazil chasing history. The five-time champions will look to extend their record as the most successful nation in World Cup history. Could Morocco repeat their run from last time out, when they stunned everyone on the way to the semi-finals?

Liverpool have reached an agreement with Andoni Iraola to take over from the sacked Arne Slot.

It's been a rollercoaster couple of seasons at Anfield, with lots of ups and downs. Now the Reds turn to the man whose high-pressing, front-foot football lit up Bournemouth, something that worked brilliantly at Liverpool under Klopp.

Can Iraola make Liverpool a title contender next season?

[Punctae @punctae]

Group B Probabilities — FIFA World Cup 2026 🇨🇭🇨🇦🇧🇦🇶🇦

The second group featuring one of the host nations, with Canada the second of three hosts. A tough group for the host with Switzerland as a favourite to top the group. Is Switzerland going to be one of the dark horses in this World Cup?

Group A Probabilities — FIFA World Cup 2026 🇲🇽🇿🇦🇰🇷🇨🇿

First group featuring one of the host nations, who also get the honour of kicking off the World Cup. A side that could go far, boosted by the advantage of playing in their home stadiums and lifted by their passionate home support.

🤔 Which of these clubs is going to break their bad luck first?

📈 Very interesting to see the big impact Wenger and Simeone had on making Arsenal and Atlético Madrid Champions League regulars.

[Punctae @punctae]

PSG win their second Champions League in a row, they were the top scorers of the UCL season and had 15 goals more than Arsenal during the whole campaign!

PSG win their second Champions League in a row! They conceded 16 goals more than Arsenal in the whole UCL season, but still won it!

🏆 The greatest Golden Boot hauls in World Cup history.

📉 The paradox: in the format used right up to 2022, players could play up to 7 matches yet none scored more than 8 goals. Go back further and the leaderboard is stacked with way bigger tallies: Fontaine 13, Kocsis 11, Müller 10, all in just 5–6 games. More matches now, fewer goals.

🔮 Now, with the new 48-team format in 2026, a player who goes all the way could play up to 8 matches. Is there any chance someone finally breaks a 68-year-old record?

⚽ Here's the question: out of these 8 scoring kings, how many actually lifted the trophy that same year?

[Punctae @punctae]

🏆 Arsenal can win the Champions League for the very first time.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 And they’d complete a clean English sweep of every European competition this season, after Aston Villa and Crystal Palace lifted the Europa League and Conference League.

📊 Our model gives them a 53.2% chance to win it.
