German mathematician Joachim Klement has correctly predicted the past three FIFA World Cup winners. He explains to CBS News' Ramy Inocencio why he picked a non-favorite to win it all.

@RamyInocencio I can bet my life insurance Netherlands ain’t winning shit, I wish I could bet against them for pennies on the dollar

@RamyInocencio Hasn’t watched Cody Gakpo all season 🤣

@RamyInocencio aaaand just like that the streak is over because Netherlands are NOT winning the World Cup whatsoever lmao

@RamyInocencio Netherlands wining the World Cup will actually be a shocker.

@RamyInocencio Never heard of this guy before now. If the Dutch fo win, the whole world would hear of him.

@RamyInocencio 4 “economic factors” then he drops that the 4th is the FIFA world rankings. I predict how good soccer teams are by using how good the soccer teams are.

@RamyInocencio The script says Portugal.

@RamyInocencio Let’s be clear - the Netherlands will not win this World Cup.

@RamyInocencio Well his steak will end because no way the Dutch will win

@RamyInocencio This guy is full of shit. By the exact same 4 conditions that now predict Holland, his model should have predicted Belgium in both previous WCs.

@RamyInocencio Absolute spoofer

@RamyInocencio Following his 4 variables rule, the obvious pick should be Spain.

@RamyInocencio Did he eat Paul the octopus 🐙?

@RamyInocencio WOuld be crazy that Holland didnt won in the 70s with Cruyff, 80s with Van Basten and Gullit, didnt won with Robben, Van Persie, Sneidjer and will win with DEPAY being the number 10 playing on Corinthians.

@RamyInocencio Well looks like his winning streak is over. Netherlands are the biggest chokers in international football

@RamyInocencio

@RamyInocencio They just have never had the mentality

@RamyInocencio If defence wins you tournaments then why does PSG have our CL trophy 🤣

“To be perfectly honest, this all started 12 years ago as a bit of a joke... an exercise in showing to the world that economists think they can predict absolutely everything, even if they have no clue. And then the worst thing happened: I got it right three times.”— Joachim Klement. Klement openly admits that his formula relies on a massive caveat: luck. He notes that his model merely establishes fundamental team strength. Once two closely-matched elite teams face off in the knockout stages, over 50% of the outcome comes down to pure luck—a bad referee call, a deflected shot, or a penalty shootout.

@RamyInocencio @tvsportscards he’s spitting

@RamyInocencio Did he predict his own country is going home on the same flight at the Dutch?

@RamyInocencio Lollll He said usa and mexico third place lollll He was wrong both top the group His model is being shattered

@RamyInocencio All bullshit 😀😀😀. 99.9% of the favorite teams players don’t play in their countries.

@RamyInocencio Lmao previous 3 winners were all pre tournament favourites

@RamyInocencio Bet your model didn’t show you Netherlands will be sent home by underdog Morroco 😁😁😁😁😁

@RamyInocencio I wonder if he predicted the utter nonsense the @spurs put up tonight 😭

@RamyInocencio Who does your sound mixing, they should be fired

@RamyInocencio Haha his model has a flaw. A really large orange one.

@RamyInocencio Joachim 🥳 such a superb market commentar and a very nice individual

@RamyInocencio I don’t take people who called football soccer seriously

@RamyInocencio genio, é vdd

@RamyInocencio Less accurate than a COVID expert

@RamyInocencio Dark horse is not Netherlands, it is Turkiye. Get used to it
