1. Enter your predicted score for each match.

a. Enter the score for Team 1 and Team 2.

b. Scores apply only to regulation time (90 minutes plus stoppage time). Extra time and penalty shootouts are NOT included in your score prediction.

d. If your predicted score is a draw, you must select from the dropdown which team you believe will advance after extra time or penalties.
 

2. The bracket updates automatically.

As you select the advancing team for each match, the system will automatically populate the Round of 16, Quarterfinals, Semifinals, and Final.


3. Complete your bracket.

Continue entering predictions until all 32 knockout matches, including the Final, have been completed.


4. Submit your predictions.

Once you've completed your bracket, click Submit.
 

5. Confirmation email.

You will receive an email containing a copy of all your submitted predictions.
 

Clarification

Your predictions remain valid even if your projected bracket differs from the actual tournament.

If a team you predicted to advance is eliminated earlier than expected, your score prediction will automatically be applied to the team that actually advances to that match.
 

Example:

You predict Brazil to defeat France 2–1 in the Quarterfinals. However, France is eliminated in the Round of 16 and Germany advances instead.

Your Quarterfinal prediction automatically becomes Brazil 2–1 Germany.

Likewise, if Brazil is eliminated before reaching the Quarterfinals and France advances, your prediction automatically becomes France 2–1 France's opponent.

Only the predicted score and the team you selected to advance are evaluated. The system automatically updates the opponent based on the actual tournament bracket.
 

Notes
