A Monte Carlo engine plays the entire tournament — the group stage, the eight-best-third-placed
cut, and five knockout rounds — tens of thousands of times from the real confirmed draw. The probabilities converge
live as the iterations accrue.

Section 02 — The Knockouts
The Bracket — One Simulated Tournament
A single random run of the engine, played all the way through: 32 qualifiers, five knockout rounds, one
champion. Re-simulate to roll a fresh tournament — every run is different, which is exactly why the odds take tens of thousands of them.
Winners are highlighted and carry their score; p denotes a penalty-shootout win.
Knockout Bracket — Round of 32 to Final
Method — Real confirmed draw; Poisson goal model on approximate World-Football-Elo. Knockout
seeding rewards group winners; exact Round-of-32 pairings follow FIFA's published combination table. Illustrative, not a prediction.
