After Portugal tallied six goals against Switzerland, it’s hard to pick against this side. Cristiano Ronaldo might have learned his lesson and should get the start in this one as Portugal go for a semifinal spot. Morocco have been giant killers in this tournament but they might be flying too high off a penalty shootout win and could have a letdown here.
