Croatia barely in the top 15 despite making the semifinals at the last two world cups, seems underrated. On the other hand, the way Belgium played the qualifications, they’d be lucky to reach 1/8th final.

Love a good graph calling out England’s inevitable disappointment.
First one or two weeks only shit matches, ‘nice’ more countries that can compete only more matches that aren’t interesting.Â

Odds of what? Winning the whole thing or the group??

Data in this case is very not pretty

Groups A and D could be really tight.

Poor Jordan. Stuck with decent European and African teams… and arguably the current best national team in the world.

Norway too high (even though they did well in the qualifiers), England too high, Portugal too high.

So a smart bet would be Haiti, the way I see it is that either Haiti wins or not, it’s a 50-50 chance and probably the betting odds are great, if I bet to Haiti winning the world cup I am sure I can win time 10,000x my bet. Lol

European Playoff Winner A has lower odds than Qatar? This is just nonsense.

Group I looks like the group of death atp.
USA, Canada, and Mexico with the softest groups is pretty funny.

Data is beautiful but context sure helps. Odds of what? Winning the world cup or getting out of the group stage?
Not convinced a logarithmic scale is the best for this, but great work on collecting all the data!

Brazil hasn’t been actually good at football for a while. Why is it still so highly rated?

England: likely to win, yet certain not to.
