Have you heard of /r/wallstreetbets? You'd be right at home there. 😁

Nice analysis, and I'd say pretty realistic too.
Care to share the data and Python code too ?

50% for the USA is a bit generous.

Canada finishing so far behind usa and Mexico. What data do these models use? 5 year histories?

50% for the USA is for them to qualify for the round of 16. All they need is one win (against Iran is most likely) and then a draw (eg. against Wales). 50% could be the right ball park.
Also, to clarify where the probabilities come from: The probabilities are the implied probabilities from the betting markets for each of those events (p = 1 / odds). This is purely based on the quotes from the market and does not involve any modelling/forecasting.

Surely not after watching the first game.

You're right, I misread it as 50% to reach the final. That makes much more sense. Very good work

Please promise me to YOLO any Costa Rica winnings into deep OTM calls 😁

I mean, this thread is pretty dang close to 100% of my soccer knowledge, so I'm the wrong guy to ask...

Sure, I just hacked together a blog for myself and you can find it there:
The data is available as a .csv file and you can also see the Python/altair code there.

The underlying data is aggregated from Betfair. Data analysis was done in Python and I used Vega/Altair for the visualisation.
