This supercomputer says England will lose on penalties at World Cup

A fortune-telling supercomputer has prophesied that England will leave the Qatar pitch earlier than anticipated with just a few weeks till the World Cup.

The prediction was made by BCA research, a global organization for investment analysis, and it predicts that England will lose to Portugal in the World Cup semifinals.

According to statistical data from the previous four World Cups and FIFA ratings, England’s chances are not as good as their supporters hope.

With a 96% chance of winning Group B, England is predicted to beat the United States, Wales, and Iran.

“Harry Kane, Jude Bellingham, and Bukayo Saka have been in great shape since the start of the season, and the overall player quality will allow England to dominate the group,” states BCA research.

The research positioned the English squad to defeat Mexico in the quarterfinal stage, with Germany against Portgual facing off in a tough match.

With only a 56% likelihood, Cristiano Ronaldo will lead his team past the Germans to meet Gareth Southgate’s team in the semifinals.

“Our model predicts that Portugal will finally break through, giving them a 56% chance of advancing. Considering the attacking talent of these teams, including players like Harry Kane and Cristiano Ronaldo, it is no surprise that our model gives a high likelihood for both teams to score,” the researchers said.

“After last year’s loss in the Euro final, England will not be going into penalties with a lot of confidence. Their World Cup history is not any more encouraging: They have won only one out of four penalty shoot-outs. In fact, the last time they met at the World Cup (2006), Portugal beat England in penalties.”

Ronaldo vs. Messi 

Similar to past formulas, Argentina is predicted to be in this year’s finals.

Performing in one of his best seasons, the model predicts Lionel Messi’s squad to prevail through the group stage with 80%.

In the round of 16, Argentina and France are put up against one another, with Messi’s squad taking it all since the Parisians have numerous injuries.

“The French team has been marred by an alarming number of injuries and absences. While the team boasts some of the best attackers in the world, Paul Pogba, N’Golo Kanté, and Blaise Matuidi – the three key players in France’s midfield during the last World Cup – have either lost their form (Pogba), suffered injuries (Kanté), or are playing out their retirement in Florida (Matuidi),” BCA states.

The researchers cite France’s failures in preparations as another reason for their early exit. “Having won only one out of their last six games, the same record that Germany had before their 2018 debacle.”

Fast forward to the finals, Argentina will defeat The Netherlands in the quarterfinals, and Brazil will go against Portugal, the predictions say.

Argentina and Portugal are dubbed a one-man team, with Messi coming up on top to lift the golden trophy.

Both teams have a 50% chance of victory, according to the supercomputer model, which notes that the game is “like selecting between Mozart and Beethoven or between Da Vinci and Michelangelo.”

Messi will succeed since he has a historical advantage in both experience and success rate. But only one can win it.

The experts believe that an Argentinian penalty shootout will go down in history, and given that the team has advanced to the penalty spot five times in previous World Cups and won four of them, it stands a stronger chance of winning the match.

Argentina will play in a number of close matches, according to BCA research, but despite being the favorites, they still have a 7% chance of winning the tournament.
