The stakes
Full time: Portugal 5-0 Uzbekistan — a Group K result now baked into the table.
- storylineRonaldo's Final CurtainFrustrating start: Portugal held to a 1-1 draw by debutants DR Congo (June 17). Ronaldo played the full 90 but was goalless and missed two clear chances, visibly disgusted. He and Messi are now the only men to play six World Cups.
The two sides
PortugalRonaldo's last hunt for the big trophy
A coronation and a succession crisis at once — will Ronaldo at 41 finally claim the trophy that eluded him, with a wave of brilliant kids waiting for the baton? No team carries a heavier "what if."
UzbekistanTheir first-ever World Cup
Writing chapter one — a first World Cup ever, grown men weeping at qualification, coached by 2006 winner Cannavaro with a Manchester City defender at the back. Every minute is brand-new history.
