I love this particular stage of the World Cup. It’s win or go home, do or die, survive and advance. It’s the time to root for the underdog every single time and be disappointed when the favorites win. I’ve been able to discuss this tournament with plenty of people who hate soccer, but love America. Put the flag on it, and it unites us in a weird but fantastic way.
