England will crash out in the quarter finals of the World Cup, supercomputer predicts

Daily Mail - Science & tech 

English football fans are hoping Harry Kane and co. But according to a supercomputer, there will be no end to the 56 years of hurt the men's team has endured since last winning a major competition. That is because a series of statistical models point towards Brazil being favourites to emerge victorious in the 2022 World Cup. If you like a bet, the supercomputer suggests Brazil will face Argentina in the final on December 18 - but be warned that a similar prediction for the 2018 World Cup was wrong. That also picked five-time winners Brazil to win, only for France to emerge victorious by beating Croatia in Moscow.
