Goals: 6′, 17′, 39′
Ronaldo and co. came out absolutely flying. Goals at 6, 17, and 39 minutes — Portugal completely dominated the first half, enjoying 65% possession and barely letting Uzbekistan breathe. Bruno Fernandes pulling the strings, Joao Felix and Neto causing havoc on the wings. If you have this on in the background, expect more in the second half.
📅 Today’s Upcoming Fixtures
UPCOMING
England
Ghana
Draw 12.2%
GHA 5.2%
England to win comfortably — Predicted: England 3–0 Ghana. On paper, this is about as one-sided as it gets. England have the squad depth, the quality in attack, and the tournament pedigree that Ghana simply can’t match. Bellingham, Saka, and the rest of that attacking unit should carve through Ghana’s defence. Don’t expect many fireworks from Ghana — they’ll look to stay compact and maybe nick something on the counter, but realistically this should be a routine England win. The Three Lions fans, ever cautious, will be watching nervously — but the data says relax.
UPCOMING
Panama
Croatia
Draw 20.1%
CRO 66.1%
Croatia to win — Predicted: Panama 0–2 Croatia. Croatia don’t blow teams away — they grind. Modric is ageing but still pulling strings when it matters. Panama are solid defensively and hard to break down, but they lack the cutting edge at the top level. Expect a tight first half, Croatia taking the lead sometime in the second, and probably a late goal to seal it. Classic Croatia — functional, professional, effective.
UPCOMING
Colombia
Congo DR
Draw 23.3%
COD 14.6%
Colombia to win, but it’ll be edgy — Predicted: Colombia 2–1 Congo DR. Colombia have quality throughout, with James Rodriguez capable of magic on any given day. But Congo DR have surprised a few people in this tournament — they’re athletic, pressing hard, and dangerous on transitions. This won’t be a stroll. Expect Colombia to take the lead, Congo DR to respond and push for an equaliser, and then Colombia’s class to ultimately shine through in the final 20 minutes.
