Upset - Bosna, Sweden, South Africa, Cabo Verde & Croatia

Well, it happened! All four of the teams I rooted for made it to the knockout stage, with a surprise fifth team carving out a place in my heart, shout out to Cabo Verde!

The more I stare at the upcoming matches, the more I realise that all five are meeting some hard odds.

Bosna vs. USA.

Sweden vs. France

South Africa vs. Canada

Croatia vs. Portugal

Cabo Verde vs. Argentina

Seems like for all five matches, people around me are betting they will lose. But thats not really in the spirit of football right? We all know the top scorers, the teams with highest odds to win and the star players.

But football isn't exciting for what we can predict will happen. Football is exciting for the upsets, the underdogs and the passionate stories that follow.

I might very well be rooting for what some may call "lost causes", but someone has to.

Here's to an amazing rest of the tournament, I hope everyone has fun <3
