The World Cup is heating up in the knockout stage, where every match is a high-stakes battle for survival. France and Germany could clash in a fiery rematch, while Mexico vs. England ignites old rivalries and memories of Maradona’s magic. Spain and Portugal collide in a classic showdown, possibly Ronaldo’s final chance at glory. The USMNT faces tough tests against Belgium or Senegal, while Canada’s path remains perilous. A potential USMNT vs. Spain quarterfinal looms, and Argentina, led by Messi, looks poised to advance — possibly facing Switzerland or Colombia.
