So far, contestants in the bracket are all in on two countries to win it all.

Brazil and Argentina were the two teams most often picked to make the final among competing brackets, with France and England rounding out the top four semifinal picks. Fellow tournament favorites Spain and Germany were selected in fewer brackets than the long-shot United States to make the semifinals.

Brazil and Argentina are slotted to make the finals in over 25% of the brackets, coming in at 28.2 and 27.7 percent, respectively — much, much higher than the United States (10.7%) and France (7.1%).

Let’s dive into how the numbers break down and take a look at some of our talent’s bracket picks below!

Group winners

Netherlands (Group A): 78.3%
England (Group B): 72.1%
Argentina (Group C): 84.0%
France (Group D): 77.1%
Germany (Group E): 58.6%
Belgium (Group F): 69.2%
Brazil (Group G): 95.9%
Portugal (Group H): 67.0%

Argentina and Brazil are not only the favorites to make the final among our brackets but also have relatively weak groups. So it makes sense that a heavy majority of bracket entries have those two teams advancing out of their respective groups and winning them outright.

The Netherlands also benefits from a lowly-regarded group, which includes the host country Qatar. Despite not being one of the favorites to reach the final or even the semifinal, the Dutch are the next most common pick to win their group at 78.3%. England and France round out the top five.

And don’t worry about the United States — the USMNT is the most common pick to finish as the runner-up in Group B (58.4%) and make the knockout stage.

To advance to Round of 16

Brazil: 92.5%
Argentina: 79.2%
England: 66.7%
France: 64.9%
Portugal: 57.8%
United States (10th place): 24.9%

Brazil leads the way as the team selected the most to make the round of 16, with an overwhelming percentage of brackets in their favor.

Defending champion France surprisingly has slightly less backing than England to reach the knockout stage. England has only won the tournament once, in 1966.

The USMNT is the 10th-most popular team to make the round of 16, selected by just under a quarter of brackets.

Advance to Quarterfinals

Brazil: 68.9%
Argentina: 67.7%
France: 43.7%
Portugal: 26.1%
England: 25.2%
United States (ninth place): 15.9%

To no one’s surprise, Brazil continues to lead the way, but bracket competitors are not too confident in England reaching the Quarterfinal stage. The Three Lions move from third-most likely to reach the Round of 16 to fifth-most likely to reach this stage.

The United States is the ninth-most selected team to make the quarters.

Advance to Semifinals

Brazil: 39.9%
Argentina: 34%
France: 28.2%
England: 14.6%
United States: 12.5%

The bracket entries are nothing if not consistent. Brazil and Argentina are still the top two teams backed to reach the final four. But there is a surprise — the United States makes its first appearance in the top five most selected teams to reach a stage.

In other words, contestants are rooting for the USMNT to make a deep run.

Advance to Finals

Brazil: 28.2%
Argentina: 27.7%
United States: 10.7%
France: 7.1%
Germany: 6.1%

Brazil and Argentina continue to shine, but perhaps in a show of our country’s pride, the USMNT is the third-most selected country to make the 2022 World Cup Final.
