What is World Cup 7-0?

World Cup 7-0 is a free football game. You draft an XI from random national squads across World Cup history, pick a manager, then play a whole tournament: three group games and four knockout rounds. Win all seven and you have the perfect 7-0. Lose one knockout game and you are on the plane home. No app, no sign-up, plays in the browser.

How to play

  1. Draft. Each round deals you a random national squad from a past or present World Cup. Pick one player from it. Eleven rounds, eleven players, one from each squad. You do not choose the squads, so a Brazil 1970 round might be followed by a Japan 2022 round.
  2. Formation and manager. Place your eleven into a shape and pick a real manager. The manager's rating and preferred formation change your results, so a 4-3-3 coach with a back five is a handicap.
  3. Group stage. Three matches. You need 4 points from the three to go through: two wins, or a win and a draw. Three draws sends you home.
  4. Knockouts. Round of 16, quarter-final, semi-final, final. Draws go to extra time and penalties. One defeat ends the run.

The squads

The pool covers every World Cup podium side from 1966 to 2022, plus the modern national teams heading into 2026. That means Pelé's Brazil, the 1974 Dutch, Maradona's Argentina, Zidane's France, the 2010 Spain side and the current squads all in the same draft. Ratings are calibrated per era so a 1970s legend and a 2022 star compete on the same scale.

Scoring and sharing

Points depend on how far you get and how convincingly. A group exit scores little. A final win with seven straight wins scores the most. Your best run is saved to your account and shows on the hub. When the tournament ends you get a share card with your XI, your record and how far you went.

World Cup 7-0 FAQ

What does 7-0 mean?

Seven matches, seven wins: three in the group and four in the knockouts. A team that wins the World Cup with a draw in the group has still not done 7-0.

Can I pick which countries I draft from?

No. The squads are random each round. That is the game: build a coherent XI from whatever the draw gives you.

Is this the same as 38-0?

Same engine, different format. 38-0 is a full league season from one league's clubs. 7-0 is a knockout tournament from national teams across every era.

Is World Cup 7-0 free?

Yes. Free in the browser, no app, no download. Sign in only if you want your best run saved across devices.
