Uruguay and Portugal are scheduled to play their World Cup round of 16 playoff on 6/30/18 at 2:00pm EST. Uruguay cruised through Group A winning all 3 games versus Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Russia but their competition gets much stronger here. 2016 Euro champion Portugal finished 2nd in Group B behind Spain due to a tiebreaker but were undefeated winning games over Iran and Morocco. Will Cristiano Ronaldo increase his claims toward the golden boot versus a Uruguay team that hasn't allowed a single goal all tournament?

¡Uruguay!

This is the closest match of the stage, Uruguay has a solid defense but almost no effectivity on offense, and Portugal is decent all around but not good at anything...the tiebreaker could be Ronaldo so
