Goldman Sachs Picks Spain to Win World Cup

Wall Street’s got a new obsession: the World Cup. Goldman Sachs crunched the numbers on 20,000 matches since 1978 using an Elo system, and Spain’s the favorite with a 26% shot at glory—thanks to a star-studded squad led by a 18-year-old phenom. France follows at 19%, Argentina at 14% (despite being champs, they’re caught in the dreaded “winners’ curse”), Brazil at 8%, and England at 5%. But even with all the stats, the model admits football’s wild heart can’t be fully predicted—chaos and surprises still reign supreme.
