Round of 32: The Knockout Stage Arrives in Miami Gardens

The World Cup knockout rounds are a different animal — one loss and your tournament is over. Hard Rock Stadium hosts a Round of 32 match on July 3, with single-elimination action that could feature some of the tournament's biggest sides. Miami's July 4th holiday weekend makes this one of the most festive match days imaginable — international football at the highest stakes, followed by a city already lit up for Independence Day. Knockout football during July 4th weekend in Miami is the intersection of American celebration and global sport — an only-in-Miami moment you can tell your grandkids about.
