Ronaldo arrived in North America hoping to make history by scoring in his sixth straight World Cup. Instead, he has drawn unexpected criticism while Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappé, and Erling Haaland have taken their expected starring roles so far in the tournament.
Portugal vs. Uzbekistan kicks off at 1 p.m. EDT in Houston on Fox, Telemundo, and Peacock. One of the pre-tournament favorites to win the World Cup, Portugal could use a win to keep pace in Group K following Colombia's opening win and Congo's tie in its first World Cup in 52 years.
