How Bawler covered the World Cup

Bawler forecast every match the same way it forecasts a Premier League game: the model produced a full scoreline distribution, then its calls ranked by confidence. For national teams there's no week-to-week club form data, so strength was anchored on FIFA rankings plus recent form — a deliberately honest approach, and one reason international tournaments are harder to model than leagues. Read the full World Cup method.

Every World Cup prediction was logged before kickoff with a tamper-evident hash and settled automatically — it all landed on the public track record, so you can see exactly how the model did across the tournament.
