I can see why Ecuador is a projected top 5 team… quality side with an easy group.

[@ItsCalledSoccer]

Yeah it makes sense when you look deeper

[@nerychristian]

That Zardes goal was sick. He made it look so easy. Almost like he wasn't even trying. He is underrated.

[@ItsCalledSoccer]

in da face

[@wuxiagamescentral]

Zardinho 😂

[@troybenson5767]

When the ball itself scores a goal.

[@donaldpkelley]

Nice going Jake, very interesting stuff here. Stats tell us a lot! For one, this shows pretty clearly that the USA will be punching above its weight playing team like Uruguay, Columbia, and Ecuador. We'd probably see something similar simulating matches against second tier Euro teams... Croatia, Portugal, Poland.

[@ItsCalledSoccer]

Good point on the Euro teams!

[@alivenumber5]

Croatia churns out quite a few world class players. I'm not sure I'd classify them any lower than the top.

[@wuxiagamescentral]

USMNT: so you're telling me there's a chance

[@MichaelBalanoff]

Zardes pulling a Dani Rojas will always be an epic moment in USMNT history. Too bad Zava wasn’t there to see it

[@Rvbeus]

This my favorite content you do. I believe you did one a while back maybe a year ago or so and i listened to it like 10 times while hanging doors at work lol glad to have you back love the content.

[@ItsCalledSoccer]

Wow, thank you! Keep hangin those doors.

[@colinreese]

I lived in Chile, and I think Chile will do well, despite their not being ranked too high now.

[@LouieRides]

This was a nice watch. Hopefully the USMNT boys can get it done this summer 🔥🔥

[@ItsCalledSoccer]

Cheers Louie!

[@civee9357]

I love this soccer content! 200 hours well spent.

[@ItsCalledSoccer]

Cheers thank you!

[@marcedni59]

Stats say nothing in this case. The most accurate analisys is the thorough observation of the "now and here". The players involved, the today punctuation of their performances, the injuries, the behaviour, the mood... The performances and the players of 30 years ago have no influence on todays result.

[@resfriars5459]

You rock! Keep it up man! Love this simulation … simulate the potential 2026 World Cup?

[@ItsCalledSoccer]

Thanks and that's the plan when I have a bit of time to get it done!

[@TheManInTheRing]

@@ItsCalledSoccer wait till we get closer, too many variables! lol

[@dakeved]

This was really interesting! Fascinating! I agree that the simulator is underestimating US talent. I think we're gonna surprise a lot of people this summer!

[@ItsCalledSoccer]

We're comin for the crown!

[@Funnybone_FB]

9% has me hyped

[@ItsCalledSoccer]

Same 😂

[@Kgosiscringe]

Meanwhile my dum ahhh thinkin he was going to play FIFA

[@ItsCalledSoccer]

All goodie

[@DWill2022]

Surprised at the win total of the US 1-1-1 is that enough to get us out of the group? I do think some of the favorites will surprise its a tournament anything can happen

[@ItsCalledSoccer]

On average thats probably enough. Lose to Uruguay and then 1-1-0 against the others.

[@celebrim1]

The problem with computer models is that they are worse than unit tests; all they do is verify your own biases and assumptions. That said, they are extremely fun to play with. I had some small hope for doing OK in the Copa America, but we just can't seem to keep healthy. That lack of depth is still killing us at the international level. As far as the bookie's, they aren't really covering the actual odds, but the money. So anything anyone heavily bets on has to have depressed payouts to cover that, whereas teams that people underrate and so under bet on will get payouts designed to attract such bets.

[@PanteraRossa]

Conmebol will rig it for a Brazil-Argentina final. They are the big dogs in the conference and enjoy all sort of privileges like easy draws, overturned bans and they didn't even have to play each other twice last qualifiers because they "didn't want to". All other teams in South America have to play Argentina and Brazil 4 times to qualify and they don't even want to play the "toughest" match twice. And Conmebol is just like "ehhh okay, whatever you want Messi, don't yell at me".

[@felipemontoya2558]

Peru has historically outperformed their performance in Copa America if you compare them with their Qualifying’s performances.

[@ItsCalledSoccer]

Good to know Felipe!

[@outspoken2276]

Interesting results! Where will we be able to watch the games?

[@thomasyang9175]

I have a question. Did u count penalty game or extra time as a draw ?

[@ericperez2092]

We got this bro 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@Turtlefast235]

Very interesting video, I hope that everyone appreciates your effort and time. About the predictions, unfortunately, it seems like the simulator thinks that either Ancelotti, Guardiola, or Klopp, is the US coach😢 with this god-aweful MLS reject. We'll barely get out of the group and then get smoked by either Brazil or Colombia 😡

[@carlitosmartinez8111]

Great iffin work.

[@ItsCalledSoccer]

Thank you kindly!

[@mateoalarcon8528]

Yo ya bro I been think the Winner of the Copa America could be between 4 nation and there crazy Brazil Uruguay Colombia and Argentina is going to win the 2024 Copa America But I am Colombia so I hope they can win this going to be a close call between them 4

[@troybenson5767]

So you say there’s a chance for USA!
