A team written off before the tournament has fought its way to the brink of history.
Every round was supposed to be their last. It never was.
The squad has become a story bigger than sport, a national obsession.
Nobody's favourites
One more win separates them from the impossible.
"We had nothing to lose, so we played with everything."
Analysts point to a handful of forces driving the story forward:
- A pre-tournament write-off
- A run of improbable wins
- A country now watching
Win or lose, they have already changed how they will be remembered.
