The author built a free 2026 World Cup prediction tool and found that the AI behavior was more compelling than the soccer modeling itself.
They compared four prediction approaches: their own tournament model (based on team form, fitness, depth, matchups, fatigue, climate, penalties, managerial decisions, and bracket path), betting-odds-only, a ChatGPT forecast without being told their preferred winner, and a Gemini-based forecast.
