WHAT TO KNOW

The knockout stage at the 2026 FIFA World Cup is in full swing, with three matches on tap today and a couple of heavyweight showdowns.

The night will finish with a showdown well worth East Coasters staying up late for. Netherlands and Morocco will both rightfully harbor hopes of lifting the trophy, and each roster is packed with quality from top to bottom. If the knockout stage has somehow failed to excite up until this point, these two teams will surely deliver.
