“Obviously, there is a lot of speculation, and naturally, when the results aren't what we want, it is normal for that speculation to triple,” said Portugal center-back Rúben Dias. "I think the most important thing for us is to keep our feet firmly on the ground, and I believe this will help make that happen.”

Luckily, Portugal is tied for second place as Columbia was the only team in Group K to grab a win in the opening match. Portugal and Uzbekistan will face off on Tuesday at 1pm.
