I like how our chance of making the final match are the same as our chance of winning. Basically, if we make the finals, we're guaranteed to win!

Very cool. Is it really a >20% chance that Brazil wins it all?

Korea, Japan, Cameroon and Oz.... literally have ZERO chance of winning the WC. Amazing.

Pretty awesome. And like most of us think here, it has USA as pretty much a 50/50 shot of getting out of group stage.

Most might be a bit of an exaggeration. 50% chance of advancing is high, Id say in between 20 and 30

Looks like 1 in 5 that we win the group, 1 in 4 that we come out of it in second.

Not terrible odds.

There's a 2.9 percent of making it to the finals through the left side and 3.6 through the right. Or vice versa, not sure which is which side. Then 2.9 to win it. It's a little confusing to understand at first.

shite, we have a 1/33 chance of winning the world cup? Those are the best fricking odds I've ever heard.

Lol

I never seen men so doubtful of their team vs an over rated Portugal and a thirty eighth ranked Ghana.

Excuse the hell out if me if Portugal doesn't scare me.

Pretty cool graph even if the predictions are basically worthless.

Ghana had better step it up and be ready to play if the US has a chance to go through. They need to lose to Team USA but hold one of the Euro teams to a draw. Based on their showing Saturday I'm not optimistic.

Portugal isn't overrated. They have the best player in the world. Ronaldo vs Beasley scares me and it should scare you too. And Ghana is our achilles heel, and has good mix of experience and youth. As well as having quite a few players in the champions league. I'm being pragmatic, which is a male quality is it not?

I'm just facing facts, we got a tough draw and we will be extremely lucky to advance, doesnt mean I won't be cheering the Red White and Blue on any more or less.

I was going to take it on the 17th but moved it up to the 16th. I couldn't handle the anxiety over the Ghana game. Heaven forbid I walk into the test on the 17th and my mind is fricked because Ghana beat us. So yeah, once I get done, straight to Finn's.
