From: World Cup Ratings 2010 on
Meanwhile, the "World Cup Ratings" document is finalized and
can be downloaded at scribd:

It deals with the analyses of the results calculated by the
original program on which the freeware "World Cup Ratings 2010"
is based - before, during and after the World Cup 2010.

How has the program performed, were the results as expected (and
also as unexpected, since otherwise it would have been a crystal
sphere)? Well, it seems they have. From the three calculated top
favourites for the Title (Brazil, Spain, Netherlands), two
(Spain and Netherlands) reached the final. This is especially
remarkable since most odd quotas at that time scarcely gave the
Netherlands any chance and England was quite at the top.

Most results were published in Twitter after each play day. This
document assembles them – clarified by numerous diagrams – for
the first time into one file and also provides detailed mathematical
background information.

The “World Cup Ratings“ story isn't over yet, an enhanced Windows
version is planned as the European Cup gets nearer and nearer.
