Beat the Bracket

How each participant's teams are doing versus what their FIFA world ranking predicted. Beating the bracket is all skill of the draw—removed.

How it works

Each team earns progress points for the stage it reaches: Round of 32 = 1, Round of 16 = 2, Quarter-final = 4, Semi-final = 8, Final = 16, Champion = 32. A team's predicted finish comes from its FIFA world ranking. Your delta (Δ) is actual minus predicted—positive means your teams are punching above their weight.
