England predicted to win World Cup

http://ftalphaville.ft.com/blog/2010/05/18/233991/england-to-win-world-cup-says-jpm-quant-model/

Ultimately our Model indicates Brazil as being the strongest team taking part in the tournament. However, due to the fixture schedule our Model predicts the following final outcome:

- 3rd: Netherlands

- 2nd: Spain

- World Cup Winners: England

• Alternatively, we point out that the 3 favourite teams (from market prices recorded on 30 April of 3.9-to-1 for Spain, 5-to-1 for Brazil and 5.4-to-1 for England) represent a 52.5% probability of winning the World Cup.
