Football Predictions

Monte Carlo tournament simulator. Reads pre-tournament ELO ratings scraped from eloratings.net and runs 10,000 simulations of the groups and bracket, with controls for home advantage, recent form, ELO strength, and late-round effects. Edit ratings, fix match scores, tune the model, and backtest it against past World Cups and Euros to see how the probabilities shift.
