The 2010 World Cup scenario according to the PFPO

07.06.2010

Following in the footsteps of our prediction for the last Champions League edition, the Professional Football Players’ Observatory (PFPO) has analysed the rosters of teams qualified for the final stage of the 2010 World Cup in order to forecast results. National selections have been compared according to six indicators explaining results.

The precise definition of the indicators and the complete scenario of the competition are to be found by clicking on the image of the week on the home page of this website. During the World Cup, this image will be updated daily to present in more detail the scenario of single matches.

The goal is to let loose our theoretical knowledge and see how it fares on the often unpredictable reality of the pitch. Our analysis shows that the favourite teams are England and Spain. We wish you an exciting World Cup and may the best team win!
