For Klement, a self-professed "pessimist" who has lived in the UK for 10 years, the research was never about protecting anyone from heartbreak, or winning big on a bet.

For Klement, a self-professed "pessimist" who has lived in the UK for 10 years, the research was never about protecting anyone from heartbreak, or winning big on a bet. Rather, he hoped to reveal the absurdity of trying to predict outcomes. "This started as an exercise in showing the world a hubris of economists who think they can forecast stuff that they actually have no clue about," Klement said. "And now it's become an exercise in how, if you're lucky often enough, people will think you're a guru." After his first prediction came true when his native Germany won the 2014 World Cup, Klement imagined running the numbers again in 2018 would expose it as a fluke. But he predicted correctly with France in 2018 - then again with Argentina in 2022. "Because I was right three times in a row, people now think that this model is unbeatable and that I obviously will have to be right as well next time," he said. It is true that World Cup success is partly determined by known "systemic" factors, such as national population, wealth, climate and Fifa world rankings. But Klement urges readers of his quadrennial forecast - growing in popularity with each successful prediction - to take its contents with a pinch of salt, since such factors only tell part of the story. "The other 50% is luck," he adds. "Every match - especially when you have these high-quality teams playing against each other that are very similar in skills and quality - it really depends on the form of the day, a ref call, a piece of luck in the sense of hitting the post versus the ball going in. "Things like that are completely unpredictable." Each time the tournament approaches, Klement's model offers a welcome diversion from his day-to-day work: "In particular in 2026, when there are so many crises, wars and things going on, it is something that makes me feel good and hopefully the readers feel good and gives them a little bit of a distraction from all the kind of bad stuff that is going on in the world." But w...

hapabapa Madison Square Garden Sports Corp. ( MSGS ) gained in premarket trading on Tuesday after the New York Knicks advanced to the NBA Finals with a convincing sweep of the Cleveland Cavaliers. The extra playoff games add high-margin home games to the schedule with tickets, suites, and merchandise all at high price points. Recent analysis estimated a single strong Knicks playoff run could generate roughly $140M in incremental revenue for Madison Square Garden Sports Corp. ( MSGS ) on top of boosting the overall brand. The timing of the deep playoff run is seen by analysts as a positive for shareholders as the company explores options to separate its hockey franchise from its basketball franchise to create two separate publicly traded businesses. The parent company expects the deal to be structured as a tax-free spin-off, with holders of Class A and Class B common stock receiving a pro-rata distribution of 100% of the common stock in the newly created company. After the split, the NY Knicks company will include the original NBA franchise and the Westchester Knicks, while the NY Ranger company will include the two-time Stanley Cup champions and minor-league team, the Hartford Wolf Pack. Shares of MSGS were up 3.1% in premarket trading on Tuesday after rising more than 6% over the last six weeks.

Banco Santander SA plans to issue a significant risk transfer tied to a portfolio of global corporate loans as the Spanish bank takes advantage of strong investor demand for the instruments. The lender is discussing with investors an SRT tied to roughly €3.3 billion ($3.8 billion) of loans, about 40% of which consists of financing for companies in the US, according to people familiar with the matter who asked not to be identified because the deal is private. SRTs help banks free up capital and offer investors coupons that frequently exceed 10% at current benchmark interest rates. Activity in the market remains buoyant even as conflict in the Middle East strains the global economy. Goldman Sachs Group Inc. , BNP Paribas SA and Toronto-Dominion Bank , among others, have recently discussed similar transactions as a way of offloading a portion of the default risk on loan portfolios to hedge funds and other investors. Santander is Pitching Buy Now, Pay Later Loan Risk to Investors A representative for Santander declined to comment. Santander used SRTs to hedge risks on 21% of its corporate loans in 2025, according to data compiled by Bloomberg, and it kept up a similar pace in the first quarter of this year. It recently pitched an SRT tied to loans made by its digital banking arm Openbank to clients in Germany, Bloomberg reported earlier this month, and has also been working on transactions to offload risk on some loans to Spanish small and mid-size enterprises.
