The knockout stage starts today — and with it comes the biggest game in the lives of the young United States Men’s National Team.
Argentina recovered from a stunning loss to Saudi Arabia to start the World Cup by thumping Mexico and Poland behind the play of the legendary all-time great Lionel Messi, who is believed to be playing in his last World Cup. They’re an aggressive team that loves to own control of the ball, rather than depending on lightning-strike long passes and quick scores.
Poland has an uphill battle against France, a team that — like Argentina — likes to control possession and is very good at it. Striker Robert Lewandowski is among the game’s greats, but he only scored his first World Cup goal this year. Poland is hoping he can help carry to the quarterfinals.
But Croatia will be a tough task for Japan. Croatia, the runners-up in the 2018 World Cup, will be seeking to avenge last Cup’s loss to France with a nearly airtight defense . Croatia plays an intense, physical game, and will seek to continue their run by denying Japan opportunities to put the ball in the net.Even with a surprise, late-game loss to Cameroon on the final day of group play, Brazil easily cruised through into the group stage with victories over Serbia and Switzerland.
