🧠 The Dynamic Bracket — No More Blind Picking!
This year's biggest upgrade. You no longer guess knockout matchups blindly.
Once you rank all 4 teams in a group, those exact teams automatically populate their official FIFA 2026 Round of 32 crossover slots. Pick the winner and they cascade forward into R16, QF, SF, and the Final.
