Frequently asked questions

Why is it so hard to get the World Cup bracket right?

Because each match has 3 possible results and there are 104 matches in total. That generates 3^104 possible combinations, a number with more than 49 digits. Getting every result right is mathematically monstrous.

How many matches does the 2026 World Cup have?

The 2026 World Cup has 104 matches in total: 48 in the group stage plus the knockout rounds through the final on July 19, 2026. Each additional match makes the bracket exponentially harder.

Is it harder to get the bracket right with exact scores?

Yes, much harder. Predicting the exact score multiplies the possible combinations per match dozens of times compared to just getting the result right (win/draw/loss). The total difficulty is literally astronomical.
