Fresh off of watching Brazil break Japanese hearts in Houston, Brendan Hunt experiences his own heartbreak as his beloved Netherlands get knocked out by Morocco in one of the most stressful World Cup penalty shootouts ever. Meanwhile, Rebecca Lowe salutes plucky Paraguay, who advance to the round of 16 after beating shootout specialist Germany at its own game. Then the duo look ahead to Wednesday's knockout doubleheader featuring England and the U.S., which could be the greatest (or worst) day for ‘After the Whistle’ yet. Plus, Brendan explains how soda water and “lobby laxatives” solved his horrible stomach problems in Texas.

After the Whistle is an Apple News Original podcast presented by Verizon.
