Although Canada slightly edged them in the worst record with a better goal difference. Lionel Messi is in the quarter-finals with Argentina and will face the Netherlands for a place in the semi-final. Messi has been involved in four goals (3 Goals, 1 Assist) so far.

In their opening game, Portugal beat Ghana 3-2. Cristiano Ronaldo opened the scoring from the spot. The goal meant Ronaldo became the first player to score in five different World Cups. He is yet to score after that and will hope to change that as it is a crucial part of the tournament and he will want to help the team.
