Both sides looking to build after group stage wobbles

Two European heavyweights will look to book their place in the World Cup round of 16 today as Portugal and Croatia meet in the last-32 in Toronto. Neither side enjoyed a perfect group stage, though Croatia did manage to bounce back well from a tough-to-take 4-2 defeat by England in their tournament opener. They responded with a nervy defeat of Panama and a rather more impressive one against Ghana, which took their points tally to a respectable six. The veteran Luka Modric has been in fine form this summer and will be key to any success today.

Portugal remain similarly reliant on a hero of years gone by, with Cristiano Ronaldo still getting regular starts up top. One win and two draws was enough for the Selecao to pip DR Congo to second place in their group, with the former Real Madrid man coming up with two goals.
