摘要
This article addresses the following research question: would a model based on population and GDP per capita as determinants perform as well in explaining the football World Cup outcomes as it performed with medal wins at Olympic Games? What has been observed with the prediction of the football World Cup semi-finalists paves the way for a new avenue for research which would consist in defining and explaining more carefully so- called surprising sporting outcomes.
