It's a memory that will last her a lifetime,\" said Michelle Wie, who didn't make it to her first Women's Open until she was 13. \"What other 11-year-old can say that they played in the U.S. Open at Pinehurst? And she got to see the men play, too.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Li only became serious about golf four years ago when she set up shop in Miami to work with Jim McLean. Just two months ago, she won her age division in the inaugural Drive, Chip and Putt Championship at Augusta National. And now she's at Pinehurst No. 2, ready to take on the course where Martin Kaymer won the U.S. Open on Sunday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's awesome, right?\" she said. \"I mean, Pinehurst and Augusta National in like two months. I mean, that's just amazing. It's mind-blowing for me. It's been awesome, because it's been ... I mean, the food is great and it's been a lot of fun. I've made a lot of friends.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There's something about U.S. Women's Open in the North Carolina sandhills that attracts all the kids.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Morgan Pressel qualified when she was 12 and had just turned 13 when the Women's Open was down the street at Pine Needles in 2001 (Li wasn't even born then). Lexi Thompson qualified and played at 12 when it returned to Pine Needles in 2007.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Too young? Both went on to win major championships.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Look, if you're good enough, you're old enough — or young enough, whichever way you look at it,\" tour veteran Laura Davies, winner of the 1987 Open, said. \"If you can play the golf and you can qualify, then have a go. What's the worst that can happen? She shoots a million this week and everyone says, 'Wasn't it great she was here?' So I don't think anything bad can come out of it because she's too young to worry about the pressure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"She's just having fun. She's got a week off school. It's perfect.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Li looked as if she was having a blast on a broiling day of practice Tuesday. She went nine holes with a local caddie. Then, it was time for a press conference, which drew the largest crowd of the day. Her pigtails in braids, held by clips the shape of hearts, she twirled in her chair waiting for it to start.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She giggled before just about every answer, including one about whether her father could beat her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"No,\" she laughed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But she did make one thing clear. She's not out to prove anything. She's not out to make history.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The perfect week? I just want to go out there and have fun and play the best I can, and I really don't care about the outcome,\" Li said. \"I want to have fun and learn. I want to learn a lot from these great players.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She is not the youngest player in Women's Open history. Beverly Klass was 10 when she played in 1967, before there was qualifying. The youngest player to make the cut was Marlene Hagge, who was 13 in the 1947 Open at Starmount Forest in North Carolina.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among the favorites this week is Lydia Ko, the youngest LPGA Tour winner in history at 15 in the Canadian Women's Open two years ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Age is becoming irrelevant, though something about the number \"11\" grabs the attention.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I saw her on the range this morning for the first time and didn't really watch her hit any balls — just how little she was, and the pigtails kind of caught me off guard,\" Stacy Lewis said. \"But I'm not a big fan of it. She qualified, so we can't say anything about that. You qualify for an Open, it's a great thing. I just like to see kids be successful at every level before they come out here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When I found out she qualified, I said, 'Well, where does she go from here? What do you next?' I don't know. If it was my kid, I wouldn't let her play in the U.S. Open qualifier at 11. But that's just me.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Li played in the U.S. Women's Amateur last year at 10. She was the youngest to qualify for match play at the U.S. Women's Amateur Public Links. The idea to try to qualify for the Women's Open was \"mine.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Because I wanted to go out there and get the experience,\" she said. \"Because it's 36 holes and I didn't care if I qualified or not. I didn't think about it. I just wanted to go for the experience.\"\u003c/p>\n\n",

It's a memory that will last her a lifetime,\" said Michelle Wie, who didn't make it to her first Women's Open until she was 13. \"What other 11-year-old can say that they played in the U.S. Open at Pinehurst? And she got to see the men play, too.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Li only became serious about golf four years ago when she set up shop in Miami to work with Jim McLean. Just two months ago, she won her age division in the inaugural Drive, Chip and Putt Championship at Augusta National. And now she's at Pinehurst No. 2, ready to take on the course where Martin Kaymer won the U.S. Open on Sunday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's awesome, right?\" she said. \"I mean, Pinehurst and Augusta National in like two months. I mean, that's just amazing. It's mind-blowing for me. It's been awesome, because it's been ... I mean, the food is great and it's been a lot of fun. I've made a lot of friends.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There's something about U.S. Women's Open in the North Carolina sandhills that attracts all the kids.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Morgan Pressel qualified when she was 12 and had just turned 13 when the Women's Open was down the street at Pine Needles in 2001 (Li wasn't even born then). Lexi Thompson qualified and played at 12 when it returned to Pine Needles in 2007.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Too young? Both went on to win major championships.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Look, if you're good enough, you're old enough — or young enough, whichever way you look at it,\" tour veteran Laura Davies, winner of the 1987 Open, said. \"If you can play the golf and you can qualify, then have a go. What's the worst that can happen? She shoots a million this week and everyone says, 'Wasn't it great she was here?' So I don't think anything bad can come out of it because she's too young to worry about the pressure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"She's just having fun. She's got a week off school. It's perfect.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Li looked as if she was having a blast on a broiling day of practice Tuesday. She went nine holes with a local caddie. Then, it was time for a press conference, which drew the largest crowd of the day. Her pigtails in braids, held by clips the shape of hearts, she twirled in her chair waiting for it to start.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She giggled before just about every answer, including one about whether her father could beat her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"No,\" she laughed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But she did make one thing clear. She's not out to prove anything. She's not out to make history.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The perfect week? I just want to go out there and have fun and play the best I can, and I really don't care about the outcome,\" Li said. \"I want to have fun and learn. I want to learn a lot from these great players.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She is not the youngest player in Women's Open history. Beverly Klass was 10 when she played in 1967, before there was qualifying. The youngest player to make the cut was Marlene Hagge, who was 13 in the 1947 Open at Starmount Forest in North Carolina.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among the favorites this week is Lydia Ko, the youngest LPGA Tour winner in history at 15 in the Canadian Women's Open two years ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Age is becoming irrelevant, though something about the number \"11\" grabs the attention.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I saw her on the range this morning for the first time and didn't really watch her hit any balls — just how little she was, and the pigtails kind of caught me off guard,\" Stacy Lewis said. \"But I'm not a big fan of it. She qualified, so we can't say anything about that. You qualify for an Open, it's a great thing. I just like to see kids be successful at every level before they come out here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When I found out she qualified, I said, 'Well, where does she go from here? What do you next?' I don't know. If it was my kid, I wouldn't let her play in the U.S. Open qualifier at 11. But that's just me.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Li played in the U.S. Women's Amateur last year at 10. She was the youngest to qualify for match play at the U.S. Women's Amateur Public Links. The idea to try to qualify for the Women's Open was \"mine.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Because I wanted to go out there and get the experience,\" she said. \"Because it's 36 holes and I didn't care if I qualified or not. I didn't think about it. I just wanted to go for the experience.\"\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

The \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/10/30/san-francisco-chronicle-washington-redskins/\" target=\"_blank\">San Francisco Chronicle joined that group\u003c/a> last fall, and after the announcement, KQED's Mina Kim spoke about the decision with Chronicle Managing Editor Audrey Cooper. She said one of the paper's sports columnists first suggested considering whether use of the word was appropriate. The issue was taken up by the paper's style council, which then recommended avoiding the term whenever possible, short of obscuring clarity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\"If the story is about the controversy, obviously we’ll have to print the word so that people will know what we’re talking about,\" Cooper said. \"Absent that, we think it’s very easy to use the word 'Washington' to describe who, for example, won a football game.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">Cooper said she considered the word offensive. \"I don’t think there are very many people that can debate effectively that it’s not a patently racist term. Not everyone has to be personally offended by a word to make it a racial slur.\" She said the newsroom staff was almost unanimously in support of the decision. \"When the announcement went out to our staff, I think in the first five minutes I received about 30 emails that said it's about time.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">When asked whether the paper considered survey results last year that showed 90 percent of Native Americans did not find the terms offensive, Cooper said, \"We don’t make word decisions based on popularity contests. We have decided we believe that it is a racial term.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You can \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/10/30/san-francisco-chronicle-washington-redskins/\" target=\"_blank\">listen to the entire interview\u003c/a> here:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe src=\"https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/117860731&color=ff5500\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca name=\"AP\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Full AP report:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal trademark board ruled Wednesday that the Washington Redskins nickname is \"disparaging of Native Americans\" and that the team's trademark protections should be canceled, a decision that applies new financial and political pressure on the team to change its name.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 2-1 ruling from the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board came in a case that has been working its way through legal channels for more than two decades. It doesn't force the team to abandon the name, but it comes at a time of increasing criticism of team owner Dan Snyder from political, religious and sports figures who say it's time for a change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Redskins quickly announced that they will appeal, and the cancellation for trademark protections will be on hold while the matter makes its way through the courts. That process could take years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was the second time the board had issued an opinion on the case. A similar ruling from 1999 was overturned on a technicality in 2003.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We've seen this story before,\" Redskins attorney Bob Raskopf said. \"And just like last time, today's ruling will have no effect at all on the team's ownership of and right to use the Redskins name and logo. We are confident we will prevail once again.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ruling involves six uses of the \"Redskins\" name trademarked by the team from 1967 to 1990. If it stands, it would mean the team can continue to use the name, but it would lose a significant portion of its ability to protect the financial interests connected to it. If others printed the name on sweatshirts or other apparel without permission, it would become more cumbersome to go after such groups.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Courts overturned the board's previous ruling in part because the plaintiffs waited too long to voice their opposition after the original trademarks were issued. The case was relaunched in 2006 by a younger group of Native Americans who had recently become adults and therefore would not have able to file a case earlier. The hearing was held in March of last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The chorus of critics against the use of the name has grown over the past year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Saturday, a major sector of the United Church of Christ voted to urge its 40,000 members to boycott the Redskins. Half of the U.S. Senate recently wrote letters to the NFL urging a change, one of the letters stating that \"racism and bigotry have no place in professional sports.\" D.C. Mayor Vincent Gray suggested Wednesday the name will almost certainly have to change if the team ever wants to build a new stadium in the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Snyder, who has vowed repeatedly never to change the name, declined comment as he walked off the field after a minicamp practice Wednesday. Redskins players have mostly avoided the topic, aware of a potential conflict because they are employed by the team.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Our job as players is to focus on what we can on this field day-in and day-out and let the legal people take care of that stuff,\" quarterback Robert Griffin III said after practice. \"And when it's the right time, then we can voice whatever it is we know about the situation.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Redskins have responded to critics by creating an Original Americans Foundation to give financial support to Native American tribes. Suzan Shown Harjo, a lead figure in the trademark case, called the foundation \"somewhere between a PR assault and bribery.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supporters of a name change quickly hailed the decision.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Daniel Snyder may be the last person in the world to realize this,\" Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said on the Senate floor, \"but it is just a matter of time until he is forced to do the right thing.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\n",

It doesn't force the team to abandon the name, but it comes at a time of increasing criticism of team owner Dan Snyder from political, religious and sports figures who say it's time for a change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Redskins quickly announced that they will appeal, and the cancellation for trademark protections will be on hold while the matter makes its way through the courts. That process could take years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was the second time the board had issued an opinion on the case. A similar ruling from 1999 was overturned on a technicality in 2003.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We've seen this story before,\" Redskins attorney Bob Raskopf said. \"And just like last time, today's ruling will have no effect at all on the team's ownership of and right to use the Redskins name and logo. We are confident we will prevail once again.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ruling involves six uses of the \"Redskins\" name trademarked by the team from 1967 to 1990. If it stands, it would mean the team can continue to use the name, but it would lose a significant portion of its ability to protect the financial interests connected to it. If others printed the name on sweatshirts or other apparel without permission, it would become more cumbersome to go after such groups.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Courts overturned the board's previous ruling in part because the plaintiffs waited too long to voice their opposition after the original trademarks were issued. The case was relaunched in 2006 by a younger group of Native Americans who had recently become adults and therefore would not have able to file a case earlier. The hearing was held in March of last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The chorus of critics against the use of the name has grown over the past year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Saturday, a major sector of the United Church of Christ voted to urge its 40,000 members to boycott the Redskins. Half of the U.S. Senate recently wrote letters to the NFL urging a change, one of the letters stating that \"racism and bigotry have no place in professional sports.\" D.C. Mayor Vincent Gray suggested Wednesday the name will almost certainly have to change if the team ever wants to build a new stadium in the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Snyder, who has vowed repeatedly never to change the name, declined comment as he walked off the field after a minicamp practice Wednesday. Redskins players have mostly avoided the topic, aware of a potential conflict because they are employed by the team.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Our job as players is to focus on what we can on this field day-in and day-out and let the legal people take care of that stuff,\" quarterback Robert Griffin III said after practice. \"And when it's the right time, then we can voice whatever it is we know about the situation.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Redskins have responded to critics by creating an Original Americans Foundation to give financial support to Native American tribes. Suzan Shown Harjo, a lead figure in the trademark case, called the foundation \"somewhere between a PR assault and bribery.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supporters of a name change quickly hailed the decision.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Daniel Snyder may be the last person in the world to realize this,\" Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said on the Senate floor, \"but it is just a matter of time until he is forced to do the right thing.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

The U.S. Olympic Committee announced Friday that San Francisco is one of four cities it's still considering as a site for the 2024 Summer Games. That means several other potential U.S. host cities — San Diego, Dallas and Philadelphia — are out of the running.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just to be clear about what today's announcement means: San Francisco is among cities that can still hope to persuade the USOC they'd be the best host for the games. If the USOC decides to sponsor a bid for the 2024 Games, then the U.S. candidate would get a chance to present its case to the International Olympic Committee, which would, of course, be considering bids from cities worldwide. In other words, the process is a long, long way from the finish line.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mayor Ed Lee said he is \"thrilled\" with Friday's USOC announcement, noting that the city has played host to a series of high-profile sports events in recent years, including the World Series in 2010 and 2012 and last year's America's Cup regatta. But he cautioned that \"serious work\" remains as a small local committee of civic leaders continues to explore the possibility of making a full-on bid for the games. Lee also said the next phase of the panel's work will include consultations with leaders in San Jose, Oakland and other cities. Lee's statement says, in part:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>I believe that the San Francisco Bay Area could transform the 2024 Games through our technology and diversity, and the natural splendor of our region. Hosting the Games could also inspire and positively transform our region, accelerating and delivering tremendous long-term benefits that help meet our most pressing challenges, including thousands of units of new affordable housing, improved transportation, jobs, new parks and athletic facilities for our residents. ...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>... Ultimately, we should only move forward with a bid if we believe that we can win for America, deliver spectacular Games for the world and leave a tremendous legacy for the Bay Area’s economy, transportation systems, housing and youth.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>San Francisco has made serious bids for the games at least three times: as part of a crowded field for the 1956 games (hosted by Melbourne, Australia); for the 2012 games (hosted by London); and for the 2016 games (to be \u003ca href=\"http://www.olympic.org/rio-2016-summer-olympics\" target=\"_blank\">hosted by Rio de Janeiro\u003c/a>)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here's the latest Associated Press write-through on the U.S. Olympic bidding process:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>By Eddie Pells\u003cbr>\nAssociated Press\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An American bid for the 2024 Summer Olympics would come from Boston, Los Angeles, San Francisco or Washington if the U.S. Olympic Committee decides to put a city in the running.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A USOC process that began 16 months ago by sending letters to leaders in 35 cities is now at four finalists after Dallas and San Diego were scratched from the list of possible bidders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Los Angeles hosted the 1932 and 1984 Olympics. Boston, San Francisco and Washington would be first-time hosts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Boston, LA, San Francisco and Washington have each given us reason to believe they can deliver a compelling and successful bid, and we look forward to continuing to explore the possibilities as we consider 2024,\" USOC CEO Scott Blackmun said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But there's an arduous and expensive process facing any potential bid city before the International Olympic Committee awards the Games in 2017.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the next six months, the USOC will decide whether it even wants to try to host the Olympics.

The U.S. Olympic Committee announced Friday that San Francisco is one of four cities it's still considering as a site for the 2024 Summer Games. That means several other potential U.S. host cities — San Diego, Dallas and Philadelphia — are out of the running.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just to be clear about what today's announcement means: San Francisco is among cities that can still hope to persuade the USOC they'd be the best host for the games. If the USOC decides to sponsor a bid for the 2024 Games, then the U.S. candidate would get a chance to present its case to the International Olympic Committee, which would, of course, be considering bids from cities worldwide. In other words, the process is a long, long way from the finish line.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mayor Ed Lee said he is \"thrilled\" with Friday's USOC announcement, noting that the city has played host to a series of high-profile sports events in recent years, including the World Series in 2010 and 2012 and last year's America's Cup regatta. But he cautioned that \"serious work\" remains as a small local committee of civic leaders continues to explore the possibility of making a full-on bid for the games. Lee also said the next phase of the panel's work will include consultations with leaders in San Jose, Oakland and other cities. Lee's statement says, in part:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>I believe that the San Francisco Bay Area could transform the 2024 Games through our technology and diversity, and the natural splendor of our region. Hosting the Games could also inspire and positively transform our region, accelerating and delivering tremendous long-term benefits that help meet our most pressing challenges, including thousands of units of new affordable housing, improved transportation, jobs, new parks and athletic facilities for our residents. ...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>... Ultimately, we should only move forward with a bid if we believe that we can win for America, deliver spectacular Games for the world and leave a tremendous legacy for the Bay Area’s economy, transportation systems, housing and youth.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>San Francisco has made serious bids for the games at least three times: as part of a crowded field for the 1956 games (hosted by Melbourne, Australia); for the 2012 games (hosted by London); and for the 2016 games (to be \u003ca href=\"http://www.olympic.org/rio-2016-summer-olympics\" target=\"_blank\">hosted by Rio de Janeiro\u003c/a>)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here's the latest Associated Press write-through on the U.S. Olympic bidding process:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

(Ernesto Benavides/Getty Images)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Nate Silver, the man who called the winner of 49 states in the 2008 presidential election,\u003ca href=\"http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/its-brazils-world-cup-to-lose/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> is predicting\u003c/a> that Brazil will be hard to beat in its home country when the 2014 World Cup starts Thursday in São Paulo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Silver’s \u003ca href=\"http://fivethirtyeight.com/interactives/world-cup/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">FiveThirtyEight\u003c/a> website dissects the chances of all 32 teams, based on the Soccer Power Index, an algorithm he came up with four years ago in conjunction with ESPN. According to his meticulous calculations, Brazil is the overwhelming favorite, with a 45 percent chance of winning the World Cup for the sixth time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Argentina trails distantly behind as the second favorite, with a 13 percent chance of coming out on top, followed by Germany (11 percent) and Spain (8 percent).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And the United States? Silver is not optimistic. In fact, the statistician concluded that the U.S. has only a 0.4 percent chance of taking the cup — less than Bosnia-Herzegovina and the same as Switzerland, but better than 13 other countries, including Croatia and Cameroon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you enjoy sports, bets and gamble you should take a look to the \u003ca href=\"https://mega888.gold/\">mega888\u003c/a> online casino to check out all the games available.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Silver, a former baseball analyst who earned his living for a time playing online poker, makes a persuasive case for Brazil:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Argentina, Germany and Spain, like Brazil, are wonderful soccer teams. You could perhaps debate which of the four would be favored if the World Cup were played on a hastily constructed soccer pitch somewhere in the middle of the desert.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But this World Cup is being played in Brazil. No country has beaten Brazil on its home turf in almost 12 years. Brazil’s last loss at home came in a friendly on Aug. 21, 2002. That game against Paraguay, incidentally, is one the Brazilians may not have been particularly interested in winning. Brazil had won the World Cup in Japan earlier that summer; the Paraguay match was the team’s homecoming. Although Brazil started most of its regulars, by midway through the game it substituted out almost all of its stars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To find a loss at home in a match that mattered to Brazil — in a World Cup qualifier, or as part of some other tournament — you have to go back to 1975, when Brazil lost the first leg of the Copa América semifinal to Peru. None of the players on Brazil’s current World Cup roster was alive at the time.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>As of June 10 at 12:12 p.m., the U.S. team has a 34.5 percent shot at advancing through Group G, which also includes Germany, Ghana and Portugal, but only a 1-in-250 chance of winning the cup.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, Silver does offer U.S. fans a shred of hope, noting teams that seem doomed occasionally thwart the odds. As an example, he cited the Villanova Wildcats, which he wrote had maybe a 1-in-800 chance of winning the 1985 NCAA men’s basketball tournament, based on past performance. And yet they still managed to win it all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Silver quickly punctured any illusions, though, by emphasizing that this World Cup is top heavy, to the point that even strong teams such as England and Italy would be hard pressed to entertain thoughts of a championship. “This probably isn’t the tournament for Cinderella stories,” he wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Silver said the probabilities are based on 10,000 simulations and will be updated at the end of each match. He explained the Soccer Power Index in detail, even as he noted the eye-glazing potential of “diagonal inflated bivariate Poisson regression.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite his pessimism about the prospects of the United States, Silver mentioned that he’s more upbeat than the current betting odds from \u003ca href=\"http://www.betfair.com/exchange/football/market?id=1.103163147\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Betfair,\u003c/a> a betting market, which say that the team has only a 26 percent chance of advancing to the knockout stage, compared with his own calculations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2073571-world-cup-2014-predictions-for-favorites-and-sleepers-in-all-groups\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bleacher Report \u003c/a>also had very lower expectations for the United States, especially after Landon Donovan was left off the team. Instead, it predicted that Ghana could be the sleeper that might topple Germany in Group G. As for the Americans, “This could be a very rough World Cup for the United States.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even Jurgen Klinsmann, the U.S. coach, is not at all sanguine about how his team is likely to fare. Last December he told \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2014/06/08/magazine/how-jurgen-klinsmann-plans-to-make-us-soccer-better-and-less-american.html?_r=4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a New York Times reporter\u003c/a>, “We cannot win this World Cup, because we are not at that level yet. For us, we have to play the game of our lives seven times to win the tournament. … Realistically, it is not possible.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oh, well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Getting back to Brazil, Silver said the host country is not as heavy a betting favorite as it should be and added that, as of early Sunday evening, the team’s price on Betfair implied it has a 23 percent chance of winning the World Cup trophy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What are other people saying about who will win the monthlong marathon, which ends July 13 in Rio de Janeiro?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although the German team is widely viewed as a strong contender, Deutsche Bank is not picking Germany to win the World Cup, according to T\u003ca href=\"http://www.theguardian.com/business/2014/jun/09/england-win-2014-world-cup-germany-deutsche-bank-analysts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">he Guardian:\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>In what could be the biggest shock at this year’s World Cup since news that the Arena de São Paulo might be finished before kick-off, England (is) predicted to win in Brazil — and the prophecy comes from Germany’s biggest bank.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Foreign exchange analysts at Deutsche Bank have developed a computer model that forecasts Roy Hodgson’s squad can see off challenges by several more fancied outfits — albeit by using some questionable metrics.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>A \u003ca href=\"http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-06-09/economists-as-soccer-pundits-predict-brazil-world-cup-win.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bloomberg News survey\u003c/a> of economists in 52 countries concluded that Brazil would beat Germany in the championship game at Maracana Stadium, and also score the most goals in the tournament. The poll, published today, heard from 171 economists in 139 companies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the Bloomberg News survey:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Projections of a sixth World Cup victory for Brazil mesh with bookmaker odds and forecasts based on economic models created by Goldman Sachs Group Inc., UniCredit SpA and Danske Bank A/S. Paddy Power Plc and Ladbrokes Plc both rank Brazil as favorite, at odds of 3/1.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s kind of hard to bet against Brazil — they have home advantage, the climate, crowd and recent record,” said Peter Dixon, a poll participant and global equities economist at Commerzbank AG in London. “It’s pretty obvious if you look at Brazil’s soccer rankings who should win.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, a six-person roundtable at Sports Illustrated/SI.com gave Argentina the nod, picked by three reporters. Two others selected Brazil and one went for Spain, despite the fact that a European team has never won a World Cup in the Americas, as one writer noted. Among \u003ca href=\"http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/27679577\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">BBC pundits,\u003c/a> Brazil topped Argentina.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.economist.com/blogs/gametheory/2014/06/predicting-world-cup\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Economist\u003c/a> also predicted a Brazilian victory:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Your correspondent also sought the wisdom of his colleagues: asking them to select the winner, runner-up, third, and fourth semi-finalists; and attach a probability to each of the top-four teams’ chances of winning the tournament. 41 journalists submitted coherent predictions. Aggregating the probabilities (and making some assumptions about the teams not listed in the top four) again puts Brazil favourites, with a 23% chance of winning. 29% of respondents expect a Brazil-Argentina final, with the most likely result a two-nil victory to Brazil.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Silver’s Soccer Power Index did a lot of research on whether travel distance would have an effect on a team’s performance — whether Uruguay, for instance, would have an edge over Russia or Japan. The results were ambiguous.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>We found, first of all, that east-west distance traveled matters much more than north-south distance. In other words, any geographic advantage may reflect the avoidance of jet lag rather than the mere fact of being close to home. However, we also found that while the travel effect was reasonably significant when evaluated based on all World Cup matches dating back to 1952, it’s been much less significant in competitive matches taken from the era for which SPI has highly detailed data (from late 2006 onward).\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\n",

You could perhaps debate which of the four would be favored if the World Cup were played on a hastily constructed soccer pitch somewhere in the middle of the desert.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But this World Cup is being played in Brazil. No country has beaten Brazil on its home turf in almost 12 years. Brazil’s last loss at home came in a friendly on Aug. 21, 2002. That game against Paraguay, incidentally, is one the Brazilians may not have been particularly interested in winning. Brazil had won the World Cup in Japan earlier that summer; the Paraguay match was the team’s homecoming. Although Brazil started most of its regulars, by midway through the game it substituted out almost all of its stars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To find a loss at home in a match that mattered to Brazil — in a World Cup qualifier, or as part of some other tournament — you have to go back to 1975, when Brazil lost the first leg of the Copa América semifinal to Peru. None of the players on Brazil’s current World Cup roster was alive at the time.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>As of June 10 at 12:12 p.m., the U.S. team has a 34.5 percent shot at advancing through Group G, which also includes Germany, Ghana and Portugal, but only a 1-in-250 chance of winning the cup.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, Silver does offer U.S. fans a shred of hope, noting teams that seem doomed occasionally thwart the odds. As an example, he cited the Villanova Wildcats, which he wrote had maybe a 1-in-800 chance of winning the 1985 NCAA men’s basketball tournament, based on past performance. And yet they still managed to win it all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Silver quickly punctured any illusions, though, by emphasizing that this World Cup is top heavy, to the point that even strong teams such as England and Italy would be hard pressed to entertain thoughts of a championship. “This probably isn’t the tournament for Cinderella stories,” he wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Silver said the probabilities are based on 10,000 simulations and will be updated at the end of each match. He explained the Soccer Power Index in detail, even as he noted the eye-glazing potential of “diagonal inflated bivariate Poisson regression.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite his pessimism about the prospects of the United States, Silver mentioned that he’s more upbeat than the current betting odds from \u003ca href=\"http://www.betfair.com/exchange/football/market?id=1.103163147\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Betfair,\u003c/a> a betting market, which say that the team has only a 26 percent chance of advancing to the knockout stage, compared with his own calculations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2073571-world-cup-2014-predictions-for-favorites-and-sleepers-in-all-groups\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bleacher Report \u003c/a>also had very lower expectations for the United States, especially after Landon Donovan was left off the team. Instead, it predicted that Ghana could be the sleeper that might topple Germany in Group G. As for the Americans, “This could be a very rough World Cup for the United States.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even Jurgen Klinsmann, the U.S. coach, is not at all sanguine about how his team is likely to fare. Last December he told \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2014/06/08/magazine/how-jurgen-klinsmann-plans-to-make-us-soccer-better-and-less-american.html?_r=4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a New York Times reporter\u003c/a>, “We cannot win this World Cup, because we are not at that level yet. For us, we have to play the game of our lives seven times to win the tournament. … Realistically, it is not possible.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oh, well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Getting back to Brazil, Silver said the host country is not as heavy a betting favorite as it should be and added that, as of early Sunday evening, the team’s price on Betfair implied it has a 23 percent chance of winning the World Cup trophy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What are other people saying about who will win the monthlong marathon, which ends July 13 in Rio de Janeiro?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although the German team is widely viewed as a strong contender, Deutsche Bank is not picking Germany to win the World Cup, according to T\u003ca href=\"http://www.theguardian.com/business/2014/jun/09/england-win-2014-world-cup-germany-deutsche-bank-analysts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">he Guardian:\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>In what could be the biggest shock at this year’s World Cup since news that the Arena de São Paulo might be finished before kick-off, England (is) predicted to win in Brazil — and the prophecy comes from Germany’s biggest bank.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Foreign exchange analysts at Deutsche Bank have developed a computer model that forecasts Roy Hodgson’s squad can see off challenges by several more fancied outfits — albeit by using some questionable metrics.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>A \u003ca href=\"http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-06-09/economists-as-soccer-pundits-predict-brazil-world-cup-win.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bloomberg News survey\u003c/a> of economists in 52 countries concluded that Brazil would beat Germany in the championship game at Maracana Stadium, and also score the most goals in the tournament. The poll, published today, heard from 171 economists in 139 companies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the Bloomberg News survey:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Projections of a sixth World Cup victory for Brazil mesh with bookmaker odds and forecasts based on economic models created by Goldman Sachs Group Inc., UniCredit SpA and Danske Bank A/S. Paddy Power Plc and Ladbrokes Plc both rank Brazil as favorite, at odds of 3/1.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s kind of hard to bet against Brazil — they have home advantage, the climate, crowd and recent record,” said Peter Dixon, a poll participant and global equities economist at Commerzbank AG in London. “It’s pretty obvious if you look at Brazil’s soccer rankings who should win.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, a six-person roundtable at Sports Illustrated/SI.com gave Argentina the nod, picked by three reporters. Two others selected Brazil and one went for Spain, despite the fact that a European team has never won a World Cup in the Americas, as one writer noted. Among \u003ca href=\"http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/27679577\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">BBC pundits,\u003c/a> Brazil topped Argentina.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.economist.com/blogs/gametheory/2014/06/predicting-world-cup\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Economist\u003c/a> also predicted a Brazilian victory:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Your correspondent also sought the wisdom of his colleagues: asking them to select the winner, runner-up, third, and fourth semi-finalists; and attach a probability to each of the top-four teams’ chances of winning the tournament. 41 journalists submitted coherent predictions. Aggregating the probabilities (and making some assumptions about the teams not listed in the top four) again puts Brazil favourites, with a 23% chance of winning. 29% of respondents expect a Brazil-Argentina final, with the most likely result a two-nil victory to Brazil.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

In other words, any geographic advantage may reflect the avoidance of jet lag rather than the mere fact of being close to home. However, we also found that while the travel effect was reasonably significant when evaluated based on all World Cup matches dating back to 1952, it’s been much less significant in competitive matches taken from the era for which SPI has highly detailed data (from late 2006 onward).\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
