Abstract
It is our greatest concern of Korean team to enter round of 16. The past football results are the most important data for making a prediction. And we know that the home advantage is also considerable factor and there are many unobservable factors. However, there are few matches between the participants and even not the results for some nations. To overcome this difficulty, we model the network of results and consider other factors. We predict 2006 Germany World Cup results using modified the Bradley-Terry model.
