## Caption

The FIFA World Cup knockout stage is officially here and the Round of 32 bracket is set. On this episode, we're reacting to the biggest matchups in the bracket, discussing our favorites and dark horses to lift the trophy, and discussing whether anyone can stop Lionel Messi after his dominant six-goal group stage.

We'll also revisit one of the tournament's most dramatic matches, Egypt vs. Iran, break down the controversial VAR moment that left Iranian supporters fuming, and share some thoughts from an unforgettable atmosphere in Seattle.

Then we'll turn our attention to the USMNT, discussing whether the loss to Turkey matters at all in the grand scheme of the tournament before previewing the Americans' Round of 32 showdown against Bosnia and Herzegovina.
