Tournament guide
Every bracket path begins with group-stage scores. Wins, draws, goal difference, and goals scored shape the standings, so a single result can move teams between first, second, third, or out of the knockout picture.
Once the group table is known, the simulator places qualified teams into knockout slots and keeps each round connected. Changing an earlier result can reshape later opponents and clear picks that no longer fit.
After you choose a champion, your prediction can be saved in this browser or shared with a stable link. Friends can open the bracket, compare choices, and use it as a starting point for their own simulation.
