\"\"The group stage has given us everything we hoped for big wins, surprise results, last-minute goals, and plenty of memorable moments. Now, the tournament moves into the knockout stage, where every match is all or nothing. One result can end a team’s World Cup journey, while another can send them one step closer to lifting the trophy.<\/p>\n
