AS WE MOVE through the Round of 32 fixtures, the tie of Croatia and Portugal brings together two of the three most famous veterans of the World Cup – Luka Modric and Cristiano Ronaldo.
The pair continue to battle Father Time. Modric at 40 became the oldest player to record a World Cup assist when he set up Nikola Vlasic’s winner as Croatia beat Ghana 2-1 to clinch second place in Group L.
Ronaldo, 41, was on target twice against Uzbekistan in a 5-0 win, becoming the first player to score in six World Cups in the process, yet has looked off the pace at other times. Portugal finished second to Colombia in Group K.
A loss for either surely means a final World Cup match
