Ai Saying Spain To Win World Cup

In times past, when we wanted to know which team would win the World Cup, we have turned to creatures such as Paul the Octopus to tell us what would happen but now we have an Ai algorithm from TU Dortmund University, Molde University College and TU Munich who have collaborated to forecast the entire World Cup and it has predicted the most likely course of the tournament and the most likely winner based on an algorithm of the combined strengths of the squads, FIFA ratings, individual players, the teams results over the last eight years and other information about the teams such as the probabilities for the number of goals for each team.
It used these variables and simulated each match 100,000 times to determine the tournament’s most likely course and arrived at the eventual winners binge Spain with a winning probability of 14.5%, closely followed by England and France, each at 12.4%, Germany at 11.2% and Portugal 8.9%,
It's not looking good for the nations with home advantage with the United States only having a 1% chance which is better than Mexico and Canada who both have a 0.6% probability of lifting the trophy.
Before you go rushing out to whack your months wages on Spain based on the information, the same algorithm did predict the 2019 Women’s World Cup winners would be USA but missed out on the 2022 men’s World Cup although they are saying that the algorithm now is more refined and although i do expect it to be a bit more accurate than an eight-limbed mollusk, i'm sticking with the eventual winner coming from either Argentina or Brazil based on the heat and humidity knackering the chances of the European teams.
In my works sweepstake I pulled the Netherlands (5.6%) and Japan (1.3%) and i don't need AI to tell me that's my £4 done but the Bookies favourites are Spain and and then France and England which would be handy if England gets the final because then we would avoid the usual 'Who do we support now?' dilemma once we are knocked out.
