Spain vs Austria and Portugal vs Croatia: Which Giant Falls Tonight?
The World Cup Round of 32 can end reputations in a single game. One mistake or moment of brilliance can erase years of preparation.

Portugal face Croatia in what feels like a premature final. Cristiano Ronaldo and Luka Modrić aim to settle who advances, but neither side has fully convinced yet. Upsets often change tournament narratives. Every European heavyweight that crashes out clears the path for surprise packages and raises hopes for African nations still dreaming of a deep run.
