Hey, I'm Mikko 👋

I built matchups.live because the 2026 World Cup bracket is genuinely hard to follow — 48 teams, 12 groups, and 495 possible qualification scenarios just in the group stage.

The site maps every scenario using FIFA's own Annex C tiebreaker rules, weighted against live bookmaker odds, so you can see who's actually likely to qualify and where they'll land in the Round of 32, updated live as matches happen.

There's also a "Make Your Own Predictions" lab where you can play out your own version of the tournament and watch the bracket update in real time.

It's a side project I run solo — hosting, live data feeds, and odds API credits all cost a little to keep going. If matchups.live has helped you make sense of the chaos, a coffee keeps it ad-free through the final. ⚽☕
