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

EDIT: Just 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.

Does that take into account the teams that are paid to throw the game?

I see Netherlands going far in this tournament and a more likely candidate to win than Brazil.

Nice analysis, and I'd say pretty realistic too.

Care to share the data and Python code too ?

How about past initial predictions vs outcome?

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.
