Zlatan Ibrahimovic, and his take? Man, it's classic Zlatan.

That's just unreal and shows the kind of legends playing in this tournament. Harry Kane snagged England's all-time World Cup goal record with a header against Panama. And listen, we're seeing history being made all over the pitch. Austria advanced with a late winner, DR Congo made history, and African countries are seriously making a statement. Cape Verde has become the feel-good story of the tournament. The Group Stage gave us absolutely incredible goals, too. This World Cup is already delivering unbelievable moments. So, what's next for our USMNT? It's Bosnia and Herzegovina, Round of 32. This is it. No more group stage cushion. Win, and we keep dreaming. Lose, and we're packing our bags. The Emerald City is going to be buzzing, glued to every second. Can they bounce back and prove Zlatan right, that the Türkiye game truly "doesn't matter"? You know we'll be watching every single kick. Let's get it, USMNT!
