⚽ WC 2026 · my bracket

Quick version: I get a point every time my pick matches reality.

• Group stage: a point for each group where my picked winner is the actual group winner. 2nd and 3rd are shown for context but don't score.
• Knockout rounds: a point for each match I picked the winner of. Each round is scored on its own, so missing one R32 game doesn't snowball.
• Champion: the trophy is the big one. If France lifts it, I get bragging rights for four years.
• The bracket tree highlights France's path in green. Correct picks turn the card border green, wrong picks orange. Easy to see at a glance how much my bracket survives.
