"Tomorrow we have to play better and we know how to do it. Our last game [with Colombia (0-0)] didn't go as we wanted. We can't make any more mistakes. We have to show that we deserve to advance to the next stage. I completely understand the criticism and questions about our game lately, and I thank the fans for their support. It's great to see such a large Portuguese community here, which gives us extra motivation", said Vitinha to the official FIFA website. Portugal finished second in group K, while Croatia came second in group L. The 2026 World Cup takes place in the United States, Canada and Mexico, between June 11th and July 19th.
