AI Picks Every Game of the 2026 World Cup

Group of Death: Group F (Netherlands, Japan, Sweden, Tunisia) — Japan have knocked out Germany and Spain in consecutive World Cups. Group I (France, Norway) is trickier than expected — Haaland's Norway are dangerous. Group L (England, Croatia, Ghana, Panama) is a 2018 semifinal rematch. Group K (Portugal, Colombia) features two genuine contenders. The USA in Group D are well-placed as hosts — Türkiye are the only real threat.

Brazil vs Morocco (3-1): A rematch of the 2022 quarterfinal shock — this time Brazil's attack is too much. USA vs Türkiye (2-1): 90,000 at SoFi Stadium — the home crowd drags USA through late. Netherlands vs Japan (2-1): Japan come agonizingly close but Van Dijk and Gakpo see the Dutch through. Spain vs Uruguay (3-1): Spain dominate technically — Yamal takes over in the second half.

France vs England (2-1): Bellingham and Saka cause France real problems but Mbappé tips the balance with a late Tchouaméni winner.

Spain vs Netherlands (2-1): Yamal at his absolute best — two direct contributions, dictating with frightening maturity.

Brazil are heartbroken. Argentina vs Spain (2-1): Messi, in what may be his final World Cup match, delivers a masterclass — setting up both goals. Yamal wins the individual battle; Argentina win the match.
