Knockout bracket
Predicted single-elimination path from the Round of 32 to the final. Click any match for the full breakdown.
This model simulated the whole tournament before a ball was kicked, so from the Round of 32 on it is playing its own bracket — these are the ties it imagined, not the real fixtures. There is no real match to score them against, so they aren't colour-coded.
