I know next to nothing about ML but aren't the conclusions wrong? I mean if the chances of one team are 0.7 and the other team of 0.3 the prediction is no that the former wins but that the it wins with 0.7 probability.

Also, shouldn't the probabilities be carried over to next stages of the competition? So rather then getting one winner we would get probabilities for each team winning the World Cup?
