Portugal have made it through to the last 16 of World Cup 2018, where they will play Uruguay in Sochi on Saturday for a place in the quarter-finals.

"Mission accomplished" was the general consensus from the Seleção players and coach Fernando Santos, although the less-than-brilliant performances so far in Russia will have given the coach plenty of food for thought.

The 1-1 draw against Iran threw up plenty of additional talking points. In the latest PortuGOAL World Cup 2018 podcast we assess the performances of Portugal's players against the Asian team, discuss the VAR contorversies, have our say on Carlos Queiroz and look ahead to the Uruguay clash.

Portugal have four points from their first two matches at the Russia World Cup, but coach Fernando Santos and the vast majority of the nation’s fans are not best pleased.

The Seleção have ridden their luck and relied on captain Cristiano Ronaldo’s heroics having been second best in both matches played thus far. The latest PortuGOAL podcast discusses the Morocco match and what may change ahead of the final Group B encounter against Iran.

A look back at Portugal’s thrilling opening match against Spain and a look forward to Game Two for the Seleção against Morocco on Wednesday, comprises the latest PortuGOAL podcast.

Matthew Marshall, Patrick Ribeiro and Tom Kundert discuss how the stunning 3-3 draw against the Spaniards may impact on the Seleção going forward in the tournament.

With the aid of questions sent in from listeners, we then speculate about whether Fernando Santos will stick to a similar line-up against the North Africans or ring the changes.

The World Cup is almost upon us. 2016 European Champions Portugal are in action on Friday with one of the standout matches of the group phase as the Seleção lock horns with Iberian neighbours Spain, a match that could define Portugal’s campaign.

PortuGOAL will be producing podcasts throughout the tournament, and in a bumper first edition Matthew Marshall, Marino Peixoto and Tom Kundert discuss the squad makeup, what we learned from the recent friendlies, analyse Portugal's Group B opponents.

Finally, we second guess the line-up that Fernando Santos will send out against the Spanish on Friday 15 June in Sochi.
