Highlights, scores, standings, team guides & betting odds — built for first-time soccer fans
A 30-second primer before you dive in.
Teams are split into groups of 4. Everyone plays the other three in their group once.
Win = 3 points, Draw (tie) = 1 point, Loss = 0. Most points tops the group.
The top finishers advance to a single-elimination bracket. Lose once and you're out.
If points are equal: goal difference, then goals scored, then head-to-head.
In the group stage games can end tied. In knockouts, ties go to extra time, then penalties.
One match decides the champion — held at MetLife Stadium, New Jersey.
Green bar = currently advancing from the group. Updates as results come in.
