European champions Spain and Portugal, led by Cristiano Ronaldo, will be aiming to secure places in the FIFA World Cup Round of 16 on Thursday, while Algeria looks to keep Africa’s hopes alive in the knockout stage.
Spain face Austria in Los Angeles, with victory setting up a potential last-16 showdown against either Portugal or Croatia.
Meanwhile, Portugal take on Croatia in Toronto in a blockbuster encounter that could mark the final World Cup appearance for football icons Cristiano Ronaldo and Luka Modrić.
The clash will also be the first World Cup match to feature two outfield players aged over 40 on the same pitch.
Spain head into the fixture after an unbeaten but mixed group-stage campaign, beginning with a goalless draw against Cape Verde before recording victories over Saudi Arabia and Uruguay.
