Hi Streema Soccer Fans!

Following the interest that our post on World Cup predictions generated around the web, we decided to do another one – this time covering the entire tournament, from start to finish.

We analyzed the original predictions from the Group Stage through to the World Cup Final for the same organizations as before – ESPN, PwC, Goldman Sachs, Bloomberg, The Economist, and Yahoo – and then added EA Sports and Reuters. These last two hadn’t been included in the previous analysis and we’re glad we included them this time!

Again we found some surprising results, you would never guess which organizations made the best predictions! Check it out in the infographic below.

Hi Streema Soccer Fans!

What does a sports network like ESPN, an accounting firm like PwC, and a banking powerhouse like Goldman Sachs have in common? Not much, other than they all made predictions for this World Cup. 🙂

Just for fun, we looked at how these predictions faired in the Group Phase that recently wrapped up. We analyzed each of the predictions from these three organizations as well as for Bloomberg, The Economist, and Yahoo. Specifically in ESPN’s case they had both a crowdsourced prediction through the ESPN Bracket Predictor feature as well as a more editorial prediction through FiveThirtyEight a recently launched ESPN-owned website, so we included both. In our analysis, we found some surprising results and you would never guess which organization made the best Group Phase predictions. You can see that and more in the infographic below. 🙂
