هل تتحقق الاحتمالات؟

عندما يقول النموذج إن فريقاً لديه فرصة 70%، يجب أن يفوز ذلك الفريق نحو سبع مرات من كل عشر. هذه الصفحة تتحقق من ذلك. كل مباراة في كأس العالم 2026 تُقيَّم لحظة انتهائها، والأرقام أدناه تطرح سؤالاً واحداً — هل الاحتمالات صادقة، وليست فقط واثقة؟ (الاسم التقني لهذا هو المعايرة.)

Track record

Proven on past tournaments

The short version: when the model says 70%, it happens about 70%. Across these 987 matches its stated chances landed within ~5.6 points of reality, and on average it rated the actual result about 35% more likely than a blind 1-in-3 guess would.

The 2026 tracker below stays empty until the first match kicks off. So to show the model has been tested, not just described, we ran it against tournaments whose results you already know. For each one, the model was rebuilt exactly as it stood the day before kickoff, then graded on every match — it never sees the result it is being marked on. That is what “graded out of sample” means: no peeking, no hindsight.

Each tournament is scored by the production model reconstructed as it stood the day before the tournament's first match: Dixon-Coles and Hierarchical Poisson refit on matches strictly beforehand, Elo rolled forward to each match, and the tournament-tier calibration layer refit on the 24 months of matches before the cutoff. No data from the tournament, or any later match, touches any layer of the fit.

Graded across 987 matches at 24 major tournaments (2014–2024)

How close the forecasts landed to reality. Lower is better; blind 1-in-3 guessing scores ≈ 0.667.

Like Brier, but overconfidence is punished harder. Lower is better; blind guessing scores ≈ 1.099.

Does “70%” really mean 70%? The average gap between the two. Lower is better.

Tournament by tournament

One row per tournament: the model rebuilt as it stood the day before it began, then graded on every match through the final (Brier — lower is better, blind 1-in-3 guessing is 0.667). A few thin, early editions sit above that line; the honest measure is all of them pooled, in the box above.

Reliability diagram

Read it like this: each dot is a group of similar forecasts. left-to-right is what the model predicted, bottom-to-top is how often it actually happened. When the model says 70% and that happens about 70% of the time, the dot sits on the dashed line: perfect calibration. The closer the dots hug the line, the more honest the probabilities; bigger dots mean more matches in that group.

Brier by favourite confidence

Matches grouped by how confident the model's favourite was (its biggest of the home / draw / away probabilities) — so you can see whether it is as reliable on toss-ups as on heavy favourites.

  • Out-of-sample: the calibration layer is refit per tournament on pre-tournament data, so these numbers do not reuse the live shipped calibrator (which has seen these results).
  • The uniform 1/3 forecast scores a Brier of 0.667; lower is better. Major-tournament football is high-variance, so a strong model still sits well above a league-season Brier.
  • Calibrated and uncalibrated metrics are reported on the same fixtures so the calibration layer's effect is visible.

Across 96 graded forecasts so far, the model's overall Brier score is 0.497 (lower is better; blind 1-in-3 guessing scores ≈ 0.667). The reliability diagram below plots what the model predicted against how often it actually came true. The closer to the diagonal, the more honest the probabilities.

ما تعنيه الأرقام الثلاثة

فكّر في متنبئ الطقس. أي شخص يمكنه أن يقول "70% احتمال مطر." الجيدون يكونون على صواب فعلاً نحو 70% من الوقت عندما يقولون ذلك. هذه الأرقام الثلاثة تفحص النموذج بالطريقة نفسها.

  • Brier score — هل كانت الاحتمالات قريبة من الواقع؟ لكل مباراة نقيس مدى بُعد التوقع عما حدث فعلاً، ثم نحسب المتوسط. الكرة البلورية المثالية تسجل 0؛ التخمين العشوائي بنسبة 1 من 3 في كل مرة يسجل نحو 0.667. الأقل أفضل.
  • Log loss — الفكرة ذاتها، لكن الثقة المفرطة تُعاقَب بشدة. صنّف شيئاً على أنه شبه مؤكد ثم أخطأ، وسيقفز هذا الرقم. هذا المقياس يُبقي النموذج متواضعاً. التخمين العشوائي يسجل نحو 1.099. الأقل أفضل.
  • ECE — هل "70%" تعني فعلاً 70%؟ نجمع كل توقع "نحو 70%" ونتحقق كم مرة حدثت تلك الأشياء فعلاً. متوسط الفجوة، عبر كل مستوى ثقة، هو ECE. بضع نقاط مئوية تعني أن النسب المعلنة يمكن أخذها بقيمتها الظاهرية. الأقل أفضل.

الأولان يكافئان كونك على صواب وجريئاً؛ الأخير هو فحص الصدق. يمكن لنموذج أن يبدو مبهراً ومع ذلك يبالغ في ثقته — قياس الثلاثة معاً هو ما يكشف ذلك.
