The strength of Portugal
It will take something special for Iran to win today. The Portuguese team of Fernando Santos has won 10 of his last 11 World Cup matches, Cristiano Ronaldo has already scored four goals and the team is motivated by the need to win. Meanwhile, Iran has only taken two shots in goal this tournament.
How do the tie cups of the World Cup work?
If Spain and Portugal win both, as expected, they will advance both. But who will win the group? Equal breakers go like this.
1. Which team wins by a bigger margin.
2. If the margins are the same, whichever team scores the most goals.
But what if the teams win with the same score, 1-0, say, or 3-1? In this case, the tiebreak will be the least yellow cards in the tournament. Spain currently has a yellow, in Portugal two. If this category is also linked, a play will be started. The result is important: the vice-champion of the group must play against Uruguay, while the winner of the group receives Russia.
Ronaldo loses some sleep
Iranian fans held a loud party last night. Coincidentally, the party was held directly in front of the hotel where the Portuguese players were staying. The heckling was so embarrassing that Ronaldo himself appeared on a balcony to ask for his calm. While some fans would have left in response, others arrived and the noise continued.
