Code Overview

The program begins by prompting the user to enter their name and select their favorite soccer team from a list of international clubs. After choosing a team, the program randomly assigns teams to groups for the tournament’s group stage. The user’s selected team is placed in one of these groups.

Using the random module, the program ensures fair and unpredictable group draws and match results. The user competes against other teams by answering trivia questions. Winning matches earns points, and the top teams from each group advance to the knockout stages.

Throughout the knockout rounds, the user’s team must win to progress further. If they lose a match, they are eliminated from the competition.

Key Features

  1. Random selection of soccer teams into tournament groups.
  2. Interactive gameplay where users answer questions to win matches.
  3. Randomized match results for AI-controlled teams.
  4. Automatic generation of tournament brackets leading to the final match.

An interesting idea for football fans! This way you get even more pleasure from watching football! For example, I still place bets by finding a trusted bookmaker on Dailysports.net which adds to my interest, and the bookmaker always tells me which bet is better to make today.
