Auto-check queue
Latest score feed and reviewed bracket map update on separate lanes. Latest finals appear first; bracket paths change only after the table evidence is accepted. The score feed refreshes automatically; accepted evidence republishes standings.
The update script probes the FIFA fixtures page before checking trusted match pages.
Extracted scores become a JSON review feed. Source conflict blocks publishing.
Points, goal difference, next fixture, path, timestamp, and evidence change together.

FAQ
Is this a live official bracket?
No. It is a verified fan snapshot with official-source links. Use FIFA for the source of record.
Does it update automatically?
Partly. The backend fetches candidate results; publishing still needs review because source pages can lag or conflict.
Why are some third-place slots unresolved?
The eight third-place qualifiers are only fixed after all group results are known.
