World Cup Predictions: On the Pitch and Off

from The Soccernomics Podcast · host Simon Kuper, Stefan Szymanski, Ashish Malhotra

The World Cup is here, and we're here to preview it all. Stefan has done a mind-boggling 20,000 simulations of the tournament, and yet somehow there is still no scenario where Haiti wins it all. We also talk into the political backdrop, with Ashish and Stefan talking about their recent piece for The Economist, about how this could be the last World Cup.
