Portugal vs Croatia set for Friday, Bernardo Silva brushes off Madrid talk

Friday in Toronto: Portugal vs Croatia

Your round of 32 match is set. Portugal face Croatia on Friday in Toronto, a heavyweight clash between Cristiano Ronaldo and Luka Modric (5). The winner advances to the last 16. No room for error now.

Bernardo Silva brushes off Madrid talk, stays coy on the bench

Bernardo Silva is not biting. Asked about Real Madrid links he kept it short: "Estou muito feliz, mas focado na Seleção", I'm very happy, but focused on the national team (1). He was also asked about sitting out Portugal's last two World Cup matches. "Quando não nos toca a nós jogar cabe-nos fazer o melhor possível", when it's not our turn to play, we have to do the best we can (2). No drama, no complaints. Just the professional answer.

That viral Ronaldo clause? It is fake

A social media claim that Roberto Martínez's contract includes a clause preventing him from substituting Cristiano Ronaldo has been investigated and debunked (6). No such clause exists.

Round of 16 takes shape around you

Morocco confirmed their competitiveness on the first full day of knockout action. Paraguay deepened Germany's crisis. And Carlo Ancelotti helped Brazil turn it around against Japan (3). The bracket is filling in while Portugal prepare.

Training streamed live

Portugal's session was broadcast live as the squad sharpens up for Croatia (4). Every session counts now.
