Road to the Final

The knockout bracket is set — 32 teams, single elimination. The gold route traces our projected champion's road to the final; each tie shows its own head-to-head odds, while the title-odds panel weighs every possible path to the trophy. Results flip to the real scoreline as they're played.

How these picks are made Every pick is driven by current international Elo ratings — a measure of team strength built from real match results — and the whole bracket recalculates after every game, so projections shift as the tournament is played. Because Elo reads results rather than betting-market sentiment, our bracket can differ from the bookmakers' odds.
