This has been great. I've enjoyed reading it while learning about data science and the world cup.
One suggestion: A few places like The Athletic and Nate Silver have their full projections for the rest of the tournament. Would you be able to show yours? I'm curious how your two models would rate champions odds and odds to get to semis, etc.
Hi Jeff, thanks for the note! Yes, I can run those simulations and get some odds for the rest of the tournament up. I'll try to do that as part of tomorrow's post.

Sweet, thank you. I think that would provide good data both for a post-mortem and for the analytically inclined that are making bets.
