Raz, a border collie from Melbourne, Australia, played out every match of the 2026 World Cup on a backyard pitch of artificial turf, dribbling a soccer ball with his paws into a mini goal dressed with the two teams' flags. Where the ball ends up decides each result: against the yellow cones on one side is a win for that team, down the middle is a draw, and the draw option disappears once the knockout rounds begin. Checked match by match in the 11-minute compilation, filmed over several sessions by day and night, Raz settles all 104 matches from the group stage to a best-of-three final, plus a few extra runs to break ties in the group standings. His pick to lift the trophy: England, over the Netherlands.
