Knockout Round Continues
"The
World Cup knockout stage has
already delivered in its first two days. What else is in store as the tournament progresses?
We have three more marquee matchups on Tuesday, and it all starts with
Erling Haaland and
Norway taking on
Ivory Coast. Haaland sat the final match of group play with little on the line, so he'll assuredly be hunting for goals to stay near the top of the Golden Boot race.
In the afternoon window,
Kylian Mbappé and
France return to action with a match against
Sweden. Mbappé is just a couple goals behind
Lionel Messi in this tournament and on the all-time World Cup goal list, so he'll also have reason to pile on the goals even if France goes up early.
In the nightcap,
Mexico returns to the pitch at Estadio Azteca in a tough matchup against
Ecuador."
