Phil Egan brings you Friday’s World Cup Daily, as Portugal controversially book their place in the last 16 — a 94th-minute winner, VAR drama, and Cristiano Ronaldo on the scoresheet as Croatia are sent home.
Next up, it’s Portugal v Spain in Dallas, plus Switzerland make history with their first knockout win since 1938, and Australia and Egypt eye a first ever World Cup knockout victory.
We also look ahead to Cape Verde’s fairytale clash with Messi’s Argentina, the latest from England’s altitude planning for Mexico City, and a full night of LOI action — including live commentary of Shelbourne v Dundalk from Tolka Park.
