This is how I did it
We gave the more advanced ChatGPT model input with all the kits in this year's European Football Championship as a PDF, as well as a PDF with all the players selected, and then gave the following command:
These are the groups, and facts about Euro 2024. Can you take a look at the previous tournaments, the formation of the teams, and add everything you can about the coincidences in the tournaments, the advantage of the home stadiums, how the players performed in the squads and other factors. It is important to know what the result will be. Write a text about each group, and how they will end up based on everything you know about football, and what sources are available. Just use your advanced AI in the best possible way to write a text about each group (from Group A to Group F) to write how each match ends, and finally the group ends. So write about how the playoffs will end using the specific rules by which teams advance, and use the same logic, intelligence, probability, randomness, shape, and all other important factors to predict the results in the best possible way. Take into account the coincidences that often occur, past settlements and other factors that are usually the most important in predicting how football matches will end.
