## Resource

Croatia’s World Cup run just got serious as they prepare to face Portugal and Cristiano Ronaldo in a high-stakes Round of 32 clash. After a gritty Group L campaign that included a dramatic draw with England—where Dallas-based striker Petar Musa netted a stunning volley—they’ve proven they belong among the elite. Musa’s consistent MLS scoring and Marco Pašalić’s game-winning assist against Panama helped seal their knockout spot. Now, in Toronto on July 2nd, they’ll battle Portugal, who also defied expectations to finish second. With Ronaldo chasing history and Croatia hungry for another deep tournament run, this could be one of the most thrilling matches of the 2026 World Cup.
