2026 World Cup Simulator - Recreating my childhood notebook-and-dice World Cup Sim.

I put together a very basic World Cup 2026 simulator. I mainly built it to test out a simple match simulation logic, so the interface is entirely text-based and minimal. The match results are generated using a statistical model based on custom team power rankings, with a Poisson distribution applied to calculate the goals scored by each team. I also added a slight home-field advantage for the US, Canada, and Mexico. You can simulate the whole 48-team format, and it handles the top 8 third-place teams advancing to the round of 32. It’s nothing fancy, but if you like running pure statistical simulations and seeing unexpected underdog runs, feel free to try it out.
