From the FIFA Women’s World Cup (WWC) Round of 16 to the baseball diamond, the sports world was full of knockouts this weekend. Rolling with the punches…

ICYMI (lucky you), the two-time defending champion USWNT barely advanced to the knockout stage yesterday, after looking out of sorts in their uninspiring 0–0 draw with No. 21 Portugal.

And just like that, only two WWC group stage games remain.

Once the whistles blow on today’s final Group B games, seven of the tourney’s 16 available knockout tickets will be punched, with No. 3 Sweden, No. 6 Spain, No. 11 Japan, No. 12 Norway, No. 20 Switzerland, and Group B’s top two teams advancing.

It’s been a topsy-turvy opening week at the FIFA Women’s World Cup (WWC), leaving many wondering how their favorite squad can make it to the single-elimination, 16-team knockout stage.

With the majority of Group A’s games complete, two curious storylines are popping up: World No. 12 and group-favorite Norway can’t find their footing, while No. 46 Philippines — a first-time WWCer — appear poised to shock the world.
