Watching it on TV here, the bias from many of the pundits is nauseating.

It goes to show sometimes, these simulations are TOTAL crap because it boils down to garbage-in, garbage-out.

The inputs they used in their ML model are heavily biased against African teams. It’s up to Oxford to detail specifics.

As a statistician, I am shamed by this model

There is so much data / factors available to have been able to calibrate this model, but they chose the lazy route, I bet they put much emphasis on FIFA rankings

It happened last time so clearly very possible…
The last time, Ghana was not present.
Ghana has never been to a world cup where an African team has not made it past the group stage
This time will not be different
Rawlings, you can take consolation in being right🤐❗️

Chief, look again. Their quarter final predictions were only off by two teams. They got six of the eight teams right.
