Score bands

Your final score places you in one of these bands.

Casual Viewer0-30 pts
You watch for the vibes, the snacks, and the drama in the group chat — and honestly, that's a valid way to enjoy a World Cup. Take another run at it after the final!
Solid Squad Player40-60 pts
You know your football — the big names and the big moments are all in your head. A few deep-cut records slipped past you, but you'd survive any halftime trivia battle.
Tactical Analyst70-80 pts
Impressive. You track formats, records, and history like a commentator with notes. Only the truly obscure stuff got past you — the group chat should fear your opinions.
Football Encyclopedia90-100 pts
10 for 10 territory. Years, scorers, stadiums, scorelines — it's all filed and cross-referenced in your head. Whoever plays you in prediction games has already lost.
