The Round of 16 is dissected as the field is whittled down to the final eight. VAR arguments destined to last until 2042 are revisited, and the curious impact of political lobbying on red card suspensions is questioned. Unexpected exits are analyzed while a “Board of Peace” conspiracy theory is entertained. Quarterfinal predictions are shared, with a hopeful eye kept on a potential “Hand of God” sequel.

NB – The Round of 32 recap and Round of 16 preview was recorded as part of INRS Ep388.
