Knockout Chaos and Hidden Champions | MLS News

The World Cup knockout stage is here, and the drama’s just begun—teams are battling it out with grit, grittier tactics, and a dash of luck. Egypt’s aging Salah fights through injury, Switzerland’s win feels like a fluke, and Canada’s coach calls their next game a “free hit.” Belgium’s locker room is a whirlwind of chaos and camaraderie, Portugal wonders if they can win without Ronaldo, and Haaland downplays Brazil despite a strong history. The USMNT’s confidence is soaring after a big win, England’s form is raising eyebrows, Mexico’s curse is broken (and their coach’s celebrating with a drink), Colombia’s manager makes bold moves—even benching stars. France’s attack is mesmerizing, Spain’s clicking into championship form, and Brazil’s flawed squad is still led by a manager who knows how to win. The stage is set for fireworks.
