Portugal and Croatia have played numerous games during Cristiano Ronaldo and Luka Modric’s era. This might be one of the last times we see them face off, which makes us slightly sad. But hey, let’s enjoy their game while we still can. Check out our preview for this clash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once again, the Portuguese team suffered a major failure in one international competition. They won the 2016 EURO but couldn’t do anything worth mentioning at the following continental championships or World Cups. France stood in their way back this summer, eliminating Selecao in the quarterfinals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Portugal’s recent matches weren’t that interesting in terms of scoring. The previous four saw just one side netting, and Selecao managed to keep three clean sheets. Portugal’s offensive potential hasn’t shown up in the big competition, and that’s probably because of Ronaldo’s ego, with the veteran putting too much spotlight on himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
