The World Cup has reached the knockout stage, exponentially ratcheting up the drama and the importance of every moment.
A fair share of chaos has accompanied the win-or-go-home drama, with massive upsets (sorry, Germany and Netherlands), wild comebacks (hello, England and Belgium!) and even a couple of shootouts.
There will be more to come on that in this week’s quiz, though we’ll also dig into a whole lot more. Feel free to share your score in the comments and make sure to try out our daily Connections: Sports Edition, too!
