Rewrite History: Defining Your Own World Cup Reality

What if Germany had beaten Mexico in 2018? What if England had won on penalties against Croatia? What if your wildest prediction actually came true?

Our World Cup 2026 simulator now lets you answer these questions. Click any score, type your own result, and watch the entire tournament recalculate in real time.

How It Works

Every match score in our simulator is now clickable. Tap a score, enter the result you want, and hit Save. The change cascades through the entire tournament.

Edit a group stage match? The standings update instantly. Change a knockout result? The winner advances and all downstream matches resimulate automatically.

For knockout matches that end in a draw, you can also set penalty shootout scores. The system validates everything so you cannot have impossible results like a knockout draw without penalties.

Why This Matters

Random simulations are fun, but they only show what could happen. Editable scores let you explore what you believe will happen.

Think Brazil is going to crush their group with 9 points? Set those scores. Confident Argentina will beat France in the final? Make it so.

This turns the simulator from a prediction tool into a scenario explorer. Test your hot takes. Challenge your friends. Prove that your gut feeling about Morocco is right.

Build Your Perfect Bracket

March Madness fans have been doing this for years: filling out brackets by hand. Now football fans can do the same for the World Cup.

Start with the group stage. Set the results you expect. Watch the knockout bracket form. Then edit any match you disagree with.

By the time you reach the final, you will have a complete prediction that reflects your actual beliefs, not just random probability.

Cascade Logic

The magic happens behind the scenes. Change Germany vs Japan in the group stage and here is what happens: standings recalculate, knockout seeding shifts, and every affected knockout match gets a new simulation.

Change a Round of 16 result? The quarter-final opponent changes. The semi-final changes. The final might have a completely different matchup.

This is not just number swapping. It is a full tournament engine running on every edit.

Try It Now

Head to the simulator and click any score. On mobile, tap the score and use your number pad. On desktop, click and type.

Start with a controversial pick. Set Iran to beat Spain 2-0. Watch the group explode. Then keep editing until you have built the World Cup you want to see.

Your predictions. Your control. Your World Cup.
