Method: group matches simulated with a Poisson goals model driven by Elo difference (host boost for USA/MEX/CAN); top two per group plus the eight best third-placed teams advance; the knockout bracket is Elo-seeded (not FIFA's exact slot table) and resolved as single elimination. โ€œAdvanceโ€ = reach the round of 32.
