Summary
Brazil and Japan meet at noon Monday at Houston Stadium in a win-or-go-home Round of 32 match, with the winner advancing to the Round of 16.
90 minutes may not settle it: tied knockout matches go to extra time and then a penalty shootout if needed.
8 a.m. to 11 a.m. road closures on Fannin Street and Greenbriar Drive are set around the stadium as thousands of fans are expected.
557,979 people have attended World Cup-related events in Houston so far, including 273,860 at matches, while METRORail has carried 246,169 riders during the tournament.
