## Resource

The World Cup knockout stage ignites with three high-stakes Round of Thirty-Two clashes across North America—Spain vs. Austria in LA, Portugal vs. Croatia in Toronto, and Switzerland vs. Algeria in Vancouver. With 48 teams and single-elimination pressure, every match is a do-or-die moment. One loss, and dreams of glory vanish for four years. Broadcast on FOX and FS1, with free streaming on FIFA Plus and YouTube, this is where the drama explodes—and the final on July 19th starts here.
