It tallied a first-half goal and made a very good account of itself. I\u2019m not sure if it can beat Portugal, but its style of play looks to me as if there will be an opportunity for Portugal to get another early goal, as it did against Congo. But at the same time, while Uzbekistan&#8217;s risk-taking might result in a Portugal goal, it could result in a goal of its own. Portugal needs to put Bruno Fernandes in a position to score, even if that means hurting Ronaldo\u2019s feelings. So be it. The Portugal offense cannot center around an undersized team sending a bunch of crosses to a 41-year-old. Fernandes needs to shoot, and I think he will.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\" data-v-a2155f14><strong>England vs. Ghana<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\" data-v-a2155f14>Ghana really didn&#8217;t do a lot against Panama, but it did take advantage of its biggest opportunity late to grab all three points. England\u2019s defense was a little more vulnerable than expected vs. Croatia, so I expect it will tighten things up against an opponent that shouldn\u2019t be as dangerous.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\" data-v-a2155f14><strong>Panama vs. Croatia<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span>Petar Musa will be the key to Croatia&#8217;s success against Panama (Getty Images).<\/span> <!--&gt;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\" data-v-a2155f14>Two of the older teams here, but I think it will affect Panama more than Croatia. Both teams took nothing away from their openers, but Croatia looked more dangerous than I expected against Three Lions, and Petar Musa, who scored just before halftime in that game, should again be dangerous. He's likely to have a say in a goal here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"color:var(-color-text-primary);font-family:inherit;font-size:22px;font-weight:700;letter-spacing:0.028em;line-height:1.11;margin:0;width:auto\">Petar Musa 1+ Goal\/Assists<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\" data-v-a2155f14><strong>Colombia vs. Congo<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\" data-v-a2155f14>Congo managed a shock draw against Portugal in the opener, and it will look to employ a similar strategy here \u2014 absorb shots, maybe steal a point and, with a result against Uzbekistan, advance to the knockout round.
