  1. Interesting that your previous "probable" ranking puts Montenegro in the top pot and Norway in the 2nd, while this predicts Montenegro in the 2nd and Norway in the first.

  2. I wonder what the odds are of both of them at the same time?

    Yeah.

    This way is the most 'accurate' way of doing it, because it doesn't assume 100 % probability of the most likely result. But it's also very time-consuming I'd imagine.

  4. What does mean 10000 simulations?
    Is it 10000 per team or 10000 in total?
    I do not think there could be 10000 different combinations which could influence particular team.

    I am really looking forward for Edgar's explanation.

    For each match randomly generate outcome based on Elo Ratings.

    Repeat this 10000 times.
