Apparently EA Sports, makers of the best-selling FIFA * series of games, simulated this weekend's Manchester United-Manchester City match? And the simulation accurately predicted the 2-1 final? I suppose in soccer the range of possible outcomes is somewhat small. Run simulations enough (and EA does tend to run them for the big matches) and you're bound to be right eventually.

↵The biggest lesson from this simulation: Video games are so much more boring than real-life Barcelona. Never in my life has Barcelona looked so rigid and boring.
