The FIFA World Cup is the biggest sporting event on the planet. Taking place once every four years, the greatest national teams from major countries around the globe compete for the gold. EA Sports has now revealed its predictions of this year’s potential winners.

For the past three consecutive championships, EA Sports has correctly predicted the national team to win the FIFA World Cup. They are Spain (2010), Germany (2014), and France (2018), respectively.
This year, the numbers appear to be set on Argentina, with legendary footballer Lionel Messi at the top of the charts with his recent Golden Boot award, scoring eight goals across seven games.
EA has accomplished this magical feat with the aid of HyperMotion 2 Technology that assembles data from dedicated ratings as well as the FIFA World Cup Tournament and Kick-Off modes.
HyperMotion 2 Technology is precisely what delivers the ultra-realistic gameplay seen in the official line of video games. It uses motion capture from full matches and multiple training deals from the best players around the world for true-to-life animation. Machine learning tools acquire data from millions of frames to create natural motion and determine the viability of each player using detailed statistics.
Sports betters may want to leverage this historically accurate data to test their luck during this year’s championships.
