The dataset generation failed because of a cast error
Error code:   DatasetGenerationCastError
Exception:    DatasetGenerationCastError
Message:      An error occurred while generating the dataset

All the data files must have the same columns, but at some point there are 17 new columns ({'added_time', 'tournament_id', 'player_id', 'description', 'assist_name', 'date', 'minute', 'away_score_after', 'player_name', 'home_score_after', 'assist_id', 'incident_class', 'season_id', 'is_home', 'incident_type', 'round', 'team_id'}) and 6 missing columns ({'h2h_away_goals', 'h2h_total', 'h2h_home_goals', 'h2h_draws', 'h2h_home_wins', 'h2h_away_wins'}).

This happened while the csv dataset builder was generating data using

Football Predictions Dataset

International football match dataset used to train an ML prediction system (CatBoost + Poisson/LightGBM ensemble) that predicts win/draw/loss probabilities and expected goals for any match between two national teams.

Used to generate World Cup 2026 predictions — both pure ML and LLM consensus (Claude, GPT-5.5, Gemini, DeepSeek, Grok, Qwen).
