Cortana still has a perfect record at predicting World Cup elimination round matches

Following her World Cup triumph, Cortana now tries her hand at making NFL picks

You’d be rolling in money right now if you took World Cup gambling advice from Microsoft’s virtual personal assistant. As Business Insider points out, Cortana still has a perfect record at prediction World Cup elimination round matches after correctly forecasting the United States’ defeat at the hands of Belgium on Wednesday. There’s absolutely nothing mystical about Cortana’s prognostications, of course, since it’s making assessments based on a variety of tangible factors including team records, the weather and home-field advantage. Nonetheless, this is a neat feat for Microsoft’s version of Siri and we wouldn’t be shocked if this perfect record carried over to Friday since Cortana has predicted that Germany will beat France and that Brazil will beat Colombia.
