100 Million World Cup Brackets

I've created a website that tracks 100 million FIFA World Cup 2026 knockout stage brackets live to see how they evolve throughout the tournament—and ultimately how many matches it takes before there isn't a single perfect bracket left.

Each of the 100 million brackets is generated using a Monte Carlo simulation. The model is driven primarily by my own team ratings, which are similar in concept to advanced metrics like KenPom for college basketball, while also incorporating factors such as betting markets, injuries, recent form, home-continent advantage, travel, and other matchup-specific adjustments. Every bracket is an independent simulation of the entire knockout stage.

I'll update the website match by match in chronological order, allowing everyone to experience exactly how the live tracker will work once the real World Cup starts.

You can follow along at brackit.us and watch the surviving perfect brackets disappear one match at a time.

Goalkeeper protection

My 13-year-old son has been doing 3v3 and 5v5 futsal training for years (not as a GK), but only started league play this year. He has been playing goalkeeper for his football club for the last 3 years - so naturally, he is playing GK for his futsal team. His league plays exclusively on hard wood/basketball courts. Obviously, there are different techniques he needs to learn regarding how to get low/fall, compared to soft grass... and he's been improving, but his knees are still bruised and dark purple after each hard match. He already wears Storelli 3/4 padded compression pants (with thin knee pads) - but even these are not saving his knees.

I was wondering if anyone had advice for how he can survive these matches with less damage. Is it common to wear volleyball-style knee pads (we don't see a lot of them in the league)? Or should he focus on technique? Or should I just tell him to deal with it?

Building, My Own, indoor soccer court

Has a title reads. I’m building my own indoor soccer court, but I’m having trouble sourcing some of the material. For example, the Dasher boards are really hard to come by call a couple places to see if they had any extra that be wearing to sell, but haven’t had any luck. Same thing with the netting short of buying a new doesn’t seem like they’re many places to get it use. Cause anybody have any ideas or no anywhere I can check. Thanks in advance guys. You’re welcome to come play as soon as it’s done. I’m in the city of Orange.

Have you ever played in socks or grip socks?

I'm wondering if anyone has had issues with slipping, foot pain, ripping, or not enough support?

They seem very flimsy and I wanted to see if anyone had an opinion on them!
