Castrol, one of FIFA' s World cup sponsors have launched a cool little website. You plug in the country you're interested in and it will give you various stats on how likely certain match-ups are or your team's chances of winning the WC based on the likely opposition and World Rankings...
So for example it gives England a 90% certainty of getting out of the group, 59% chance of getting to the Quarters, a better than 1 in 3 chance of getting to the Semi's and a 10.4% chance of winning the World Cup next year...We'll see...
It also suggests that the match against the USA is vital; if England come second in their group they will have to beat Germany, then Argentina, then Spain, then Brazil to lift the trophy... By winning the group they can avoid the Germans and the Argies...
It's just a bit of fun I'm sure, but it should keep you occupied while the relatives are snoozing on the couch after your Christmas dinner...Happy Christmas everyone!
