He dismisses any talk of momentum loss, confident his squad can handle anyone next. Opta’s supercomputer backs him up: 80% chance of beating Bosnia, 41% of reaching the quarterfinals, and a slim 2% shot at the title — but with upsets brewing, who knows what could happen on home soil.

Mexico vs Ecuador at Estadio Azteca | MLS News

Mexico’s World Cup dream hits a pivotal moment as they face Ecuador in the knockout round — a clash where home-field advantage, historic momentum, and sheer grit collide. After dominating their group with flawless performances, Mexico now stands on the brink of a deep tournament run for the first time in four decades. Ecuador, though shaky early on, stunned Germany en route and brings dangerous individual talent.

Norway's Haaland Charge Against Ivory Coast | MLS News

Norway’s back in the World Cup spotlight after 26 years, aiming for a historic run to the round of sixteen — and they’ve got a firecracker in Erling Haaland, already scoring four goals and leading the Golden Boot race. Facing Côte d’Ivoire, a surprise team with knockout potential, Norway gambled by resting starters against France — a risky but strategic move to peak for this clash. Defensively shaky lately, they’ll need to overcome rust and injury concerns, especially with key right-back Julian Ryerson sidelined. But with Haaland’s lethal touch and Solbakken’s long-game plan, Norway’s favored to pull off the upset and reignite their 1998 glory.
