But the world didn't stop due to those 2 countries losing though, the world continued, and so did football.
The next day, the Round of 16 games continued.

The weather in Atlanta was warm and humid, an electric energy buzzing through the stadium.
Tonight, it was Africa vs Europe.
Ghana, bold and dynamic, had stormed through their group with youthful flair and relentless pressing. Croatia, tempered by tournaments past, carried the seasoned poise of veterans.
Luka Modric, at age 40, still conducted play like a timeless maestro.
Atlanta braced for magic.
