For Spain, it is the third World Cup in a row also that they have reached the Last 16 stage.

    It's not exactly been the match I was hoping for. I'm still expecting Infantino that he has the power to award Portugal a goal to keep Ronaldo in the tournament for longer.

    That match in 2018 was an absolute bonafide classic. Lest we not talk about that 2010 one though.

God I can't wait for Ronaldo to retire so I can root for Portugal as plucky European underdogs & allies again instead of a one-man team held up by an admittedly world-class player now far past his best, used solely for marketing purposes.

Spain all the way please, they've played so much better in their non-Cape Verdean matches, and I know that was just Cape Verde making them look bad.

Just one goal for either team will make a difference as tends to be the case in knockout matches. The team who goes behind will find a sudden burst of energy, it's looking like this one could go to penalties though.
