They drew 0-0 with Cape Verde to open the tournament, before blowing out Saudi Arabia. They defeated Uruguay 1-0 in their final group stage game to win Group H. Austria has already played at Dallas Stadium, losing 2-0 to Argentina and Lionel Messi. They advanced as the second-place team out of Group J after drawing with Algeria and defeating Jordan 3-1 in their tournament opener. Portugal is led by international superstar Cristiano Ronaldo, but has struggled to score outside of an avalanche of goals against Uzbekistan. They finished second in Group K after a 0-0 draw with Colombia in Miami last week. Croatia finished second in Group L to England, losing 4-2 at Dallas Stadium in their World Cup opener.
