KiwiNod(@Kiwi_Nod):Kiwi Pick: 🇵🇹Portugal 2:1 Croatia 🇭🇷 (Portugal wins after extra time) The last dance of two former Real Madrid CF legends — 41-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo and 40-year-old Luka Modrić. Neither side has looked fully convincing on the way here. Portugal smashed Uzbekistan 5-0, but their other performances were mostly flat and uninspiring. Croatia barely scraped past Ghana through pure grit. Portugal have the deeper squad and a more solid defense, conceding almost nothing in the group stage. But Croatia’s specialty is dragging stronger teams into those painful, exhausting final moments where everything gets messy.
