Last 6 internationals. model ✓/✗ is the model's own pre-match call on each game — computed from ratings before it kicked off (no hindsight), with the % it gave the actual result. Friendlies are tagged ×½ — the model counts exhibitions at half weight, so a warm-up moves the ratings less than a competitive game. How ratings work →
