The Czech Republic to win World Cup 2006? That is what a computer simulation has predicted as the event kicks off in Germany on Friday.
The simulation of the tournament was designed and created by software engineers from Electronic Arts, which specialises in sports computer games.
Using artificial intelligence, the game simulated all 64 matches based on players' statistics from FIFA, the international football federation.
It predicted that the Czech Republic, regarded by many as underdogs, will clash with Brazil in the final, with the Czechs winning the Cup by a 2-1 scoreline.
Developers say the game was created in the name of fun and does not factor in things like penalties or weather.
World cup is a fascinating spectacle, bringing in many different nations to compete in 'the beautiful game' as Brazil's football legend Pele has put it.
Now the virtual world adds another exciting aspect where players from different parts of the globe can engage and compete in this immensely popular game.
