July 1: France demolish Sweden, Haaland rescues Norway, Mexico end a 40-year drought
R32 Day 3 delivered three comfortable results after Day 2's chaos. France dismantled Sweden 3-0 (Mbappe 45', 74', Barcola 53'), giving Mbappe 9 World Cup knockout goals, a new all-time record. Norway beat Ivory Coast 2-1 thanks to Haaland's 86th-minute winner, Norway's first-ever World Cup knockout win. Mexico beat Ecuador 2-0 at the Azteca for their first knockout victory in 40 years. The model called France (9.1%) and Norway (0.9%) correctly. Mexico (0.4%) was the miss: a near coin-flip the model gave to Ecuador.

June 30: Paraguay eliminate Germany, Martinelli rescues Brazil, Morocco outlast the Netherlands
Three Round of 32 matches, two penalty shootouts, one 96th-minute winner. Paraguay, who lost 1-4 to the USA in the group stage and scored just 2 goals in 3 matches, knocked out four-time champions Germany on penalties (1-1, 4-3 pens). Brazil survived Japan thanks to Gabriel Martinelli's stoppage-time winner (2-1). Morocco equalized in the 91st minute against the Netherlands and won in a shootout (1-1, 3-2 pens). The model favoured Germany (4.8%) and had Brazil as marginal favourites (13.3%). It called Brazil correctly. Germany was the tournament's biggest R32 miss so far.

Four models are better than three
The ensemble just got a fourth model. A small neural network that learns team-vs-team interactions the linear models miss. It passed an 8-fold backtest, improving the ensemble's calibration by 0.74 percentage points and its Brier score by 16 basis points. Here is what it is, why it works, and what it cost to get right.

June 29: Brazil face Japan, Germany meet Paraguay
The knockout round opened last night: Canada 1-0 South Africa, Eustaquio in the 92nd minute, the model's first knockout call correct at 50.9%. Today brings Brazil vs Japan at NRG Stadium in Houston (model: 49.5% vs 22.9%, Elo gap 64) and Germany vs Paraguay at Gillette Stadium in Boston (52.5% vs 19.9%, Elo gap 103). Brazil's high press meets Japan's low block. Germany enter on a loss to Ecuador. Paraguay qualified with just 2 goals in 3 matches. If it goes to penalties, Germany's record (6 of 7 shootouts won) is the best of any remaining team.

Group stage scorecard: grading all 72 predictions
The group stage is done and every prediction is on the record. Across 72 matches, the model averaged a Brier score of 0.516, with 57% of predictions graded A or A+. Group I (France's group) and Group J (Argentina's group) were the easiest to read. Group H (Spain, Uruguay, Cape Verde) was the hardest, anchored by the Spain 0-0 Cape Verde opener. Here is the full scorecard, group by group.

Path to the final: every team's bracket mapped
The knockout bracket is set. We traced every team's path from the Round of 32 through to the final. Argentina's route to the title match could avoid every top-10 side until the semifinal. Austria's path runs through Spain, Portugal, and France before a potential final against Argentina. The bracket halves are wildly unbalanced: five of the eight highest-rated teams are crammed into the top half, guaranteeing a bloodbath. Here is the full map.
