The stakes
Round of 32, full time: Australia 3-5 Egypt. Single elimination — one side's run ends here.
- storylineAustralia stuns the dark-horse darlings (Turkey)Australia 2-0 Turkey (June 13) — one of the cleanest shocks of the group stage. Turkey dominated the ball and shots but couldn't finish. The Socceroos sit level with hosts USA on points; they meet June 19.
The two sides
AustraliaAll heart, just pulled off a shock
The ultimate plucky overachievers — low on stars, high on heart — who just pulled off the upset of the group with an eight-save debut keeper and a teenage wonderkid. Pure adopt-me energy.
EgyptMo Salah carrying a whole nation
Salah at 34, freshly a free agent, 100 million hopes on his shoulders, setting up goals on his birthday — generosity and brilliance and "so close" in one talisman worth riding for the drama.
