Day 26 sees the continuation of the last-16, and Spain vs Portugal is up first in a box-office showdown. An Iberian rivalry is transported to Dallas as Cristiano Ronaldo is reunited with some familiar faces from his LaLiga days.
Portugal survived a late scare in their round of 32 win over Croatia, but will need to step it up against a Spain side that is slowly improving with each passing game.
The winners will progress to the World Cup quarter-final to face either USA or Belgium.
The Red Devils staged a stunning comeback to beat Senegal in the last round, though preparations for a meeting with the co-hosts has been disrupted with Folarin Balogun’s red card being suspended by FIFA.
USA, meanwhile, have been one of the surprise packages so far, impressing in wins over Paraguay, Australia and Bosnia-Herzegovina, and are now bidding to match their best ever World Cup performance.
