MODEL RATIONALE
Confederation pedigree decides
Brazil (CONMEBOL) holds a confederation-strength edge over Morocco (CAF) — historically the gap between UEFA/CONMEBOL pedigree and the rest has been the most reliable knockout signal. With FIFA ranks within 2 places, that confederation weight pushes Brazil to 43% and leaves Morocco on 30%.
