Enzo Fernández had nice words for Madrid and Real Madrid legends Toni Kroos and Luka Modric, with his Chelsea future in doubt.

The summer has not even started, but talk around potential signings in the transfer window keeps Real Madrid fans alert. Rumors about Enzo Fernández’s possible departure from Chelsea are now in focus after the midfielder gave an interview in which he praised Madrid, Toni Kroos and Luka Modrić.

Fernández said on Luzu TV when asked which city he would like to live in: “I always tell my wife that if I had to choose a European city, it would be Madrid. It’s like Buenos Aires, the food, everything…”

His form at Chelsea has not been the same since Enzo Maresca was fired. That, along with reports that the dressing room does not like some of his complaints with teammates on the field, could open the door for him to leave the club, according to Marca.

Fernández on Kroos and Modrić

Speaking well about Madrid could also be seen as a nice gesture toward Atlético Madrid, not just Real Madrid. However, when he had to choose the best players he has faced, the names he picked are icons of one club.

As a midfielder, it was not just another match for Fernández when he faced perhaps the best duo of the last few years. His style of play also resembles some of the things they do, so his choice was an easy one.

Fernández said: “Because I play in the same position, I always try to watch the midfielders on the other team and I choose Kroos. I play against Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabéu and he and Modrić are incredible. They have a lot of quality.”

Fernández’s contract

Even if Fernández would like to leave Chelsea, it will not be easy. The club has been known for signing very long contracts with young players, and he is no exception. His deal does not expire until 2032. His price also will not be low, as 100 million euros seems to be the floor, with Chelsea having invested 120 million euros to sign him from Benfica.

Lamine Yamal's father commented on the discrimination incident that happened in Spain vs Egypt.

This week has centered on the discrimination scandal from Tuesday’s international friendly between Spain and Egypt. Lamine Yamal was very critical of the people who sang the controversial chant, and his father also spoke about the issue.

During a live broadcast on TikTok, Mounir Nasraoui said: “I don’t like what happened. Viva Spain. Viva the Muslims, the Catholics, the Jewish, and the entire world equally. What’s the problem? If you respect, you will be respected.”

Mounir sent a message of unity after an incident in which his religion was mocked. Yamal’s father was born in Morocco, while the player was born in Barcelona and follows the Muslim faith.

The context of the incident

During the international window, one match in particular sparked controversy. Spain was supposed to play the Finalissima against Argentina, but instead organized friendlies. Serbia and Egypt were the rivals, with the latter becoming the target of the incident.

The match was played at RCDE Stadium, home of Espanyol. Unlike isolated moments where individual fans insult a player, this was a widespread show of disrespect.

During the match, a discriminatory chant was heard that said, “the one who does not jump is a Muslim.” This sparked anger, especially from Yamal, who left the field without taking part in the usual lap of applause to the fans.

Espanyol’s statement

The episode prompted criticism from many sides. Some pointed to Espanyol fans as responsible for the chant, which led the club to respond in a statement: “RCD Espanyol also wants to express its deep concern over the gratuitous and widespread smear campaign that has been affecting its fans in recent hours.”

Espanyol defended themselves after fans were blamed for chants in Spain vs Egypt that angered Lamine Yamal.

This week has been marked by a discrimination incident involving Spain. In the match against Egypt, fans chanted a song, which led Lamine Yamal to post a strong statement after his religion was targeted. It was also time for Espanyol to defend itself.

The match was played at RCDE Stadium, home of Espanyol. Criticism spread everywhere, from the country as a whole to those who pointed at the Espanyol fans as the only ones singing. Many also speculated that the chants against Muslims were aimed at Yamal, something the club condemned.

The statement read: “RCD Espanyol also wishes to express its deep displeasure at the gratuitous and widespread smear campaign that has targeted our fans in the past few hours. It is worth remembering that the match, organized by the RFEF, brought together supporters of the Spain national team from very diverse geographical and footballing backgrounds.”

It then addressed the criticism the club received: “Therefore, it is profoundly unfair, excessive, and disproportionate to attribute these behaviors to the RCDE Espanyol fanbase, which, throughout its more than 125-year history, has been characterized by its diversity, respect, and commitment to the values of sport. The club does not and will not accept having its reputation called into question by the isolated actions of a small group of people who represent neither the club nor our fanbase.”

Egypt will not complain about Spain to FIFA

The unfortunate act by the Spanish fans mainly affected the Egyptian team. This has led to criticism from different sides, with Egypt being the most important voice as the one targeted by discrimination.

While the Egyptian embassy released a statement condemning these acts, the federation also issued a long communication expressing its thoughts. The curious thing is that it will not file a formal complaint.

The report said: “The Egyptian Football Federation wants to emphasize that what happened by a minority of fans in the stands at Espanyol’s stadium will not affect in any way the strong relationship between the Egyptian and Spanish football federations.”

Barcelona could get Andreas Schjelderup for less after a potential ultimatum from Benfica.

As the international break continues, Barcelona are still searching for titles. Looking ahead, there has been some news around transfer target Andreas Schjelderup, with Benfica reportedly set to give him an ultimatum soon.

Benfica are expected to offer the player a new contract that would include a higher release clause or they will sell the player in the next window, according to the newspaper A Bola. If Schjelderup agrees, his price would go up. With his contract running until 2028, the club does not have much room to maneuver.

What Barcelona want is for Schjelderup not to accept this renewal. With that decision from the player, pushed by agent Rafaela Pimenta according to Sport, the price could go down as Benfica are not ready to extend this negotiation for long.

Schjelderup’s price

Rejecting a higher release clause would make negotiations easier for Barcelona. The counterpoint to getting a better price is how highly the player is regarded by others, so what could drive his price up are the clubs that may try to sign him this summer.

The Spanish club have not been able to make major investments for a long time because their financial situation is still not ideal. They would not be able to pay the release clause, so waiting is their best option.

Benfica set a 100 million euros release clause in Schjelderup’s contract. On the other hand, local reports say Benfica may even accept 20 million for him. While that does not seem very likely given the player’s valuation, they have already received a 12 million euro offer from Brugge.

Schjelderup’s playstyle

Schjelderup would be a bet for the future, not just an immediate boost to the team. He has not played too much for Benfica, with fewer than 100 matches there, but his profile could be ideal to replace Marcus Rashford. If the English forward does not improve in the final stretch of the season with Barcelona, they may decide not to buy him from Manchester United.

That would be a better role for someone younger like the Benfica player, who is only 21 years old. The winger could bring even more fresh energy to a team that already has talented young players. Despite his age, he is already part of the Norway national team, so his upside could make him a perfect fit looking toward the future.

Legendary manager Fabio Capello was very critical with Italy's World Cup elimination against Bosnia and Herzegovina.

There were important matches during the last international window. However, no team drew more attention than Italy as they tried to qualify for the World Cup against Northern Ireland first and then Bosnia and Herzegovina, which they failed to do. Fabio Capello described the country’s feelings better than anyone.

Capello said in an interview with Marca: “I couldn’t sleep all night; I still can’t believe what happened. We are talking about a four-time World champion. It’s a sports tragedy. It’s embarrassing. It’s some of the worst that has happened to Italian soccer in its recent history.”

Italy had to go through two rounds to reach the World Cup again for the first time since 2010. They defeated Northern Ireland to face Bosnia and Herzegovina in their final match. Despite taking a 1-0 lead, they allowed the equalizer with a few minutes left after spending most of the match with 10 men following Andrea Bastoni’s red card. The penalties later decided that they would miss the event for the third straight time.

Capello wants a change

The manager has worked at clubs like Real Madrid, Milan and Juventus, so he knows well what should be expected in organizations of that level that aim for the biggest titles in their respective competitions.

For Capello, the blame should not fall only on the current manager Gennaro Gattuso or even the players. In his opinion, something must change at the highest levels of the federation.

Capello said: “Here nobody resigns, and that’s the most concerning thing. The first person that should take responsibility is the president of the Federation (Gabriele Gavrina) with the executive directors. The problem isn’t just results, it’s structural.”

Capello on what the elimination means for Italy

Even if this has happened recently as well, missing the World Cup is not taken lightly by the fans. Capello said: “Italy is mourning. For a country so tied to the sport, it’s very hard to accept.”

Live coverage of the international friendly match Brazil vs Croatia.

In the international friendly in Orlando, Brazil got back on track after losing to France a few days ago. It was an important 3-1 victory against Croatia that left good feelings.

The better team won on Tuesday night as Brazil were sharper than Croatia. In the first half, they had a few clear chances that Dominik Livakovic stopped. However, a great counterattack from Vinicius left Danilo open in the box for the opening goal.

Not much happened in the second half until a long pass allowed Croatia to tie through Lovro Mayer, with the help of Bento’s poor intervention. Luckily for Brazil, they responded quickly with a penalty scored by Igor Thiago, after a foul won by Endrick, who also assisted Martinelli for the final goal to give the fans some relief.

The confirmed lineups for the international friendly match Brazil vs Croatia.

These teams meet again after Croatia pulled off a major upset by eliminating Brazil in the quarterfinals of the last World Cup. For this match, which is being played today at 8 PM ET in Orlando, there could be several absences.

Watch Brazil vs Croatia live on Fubo

The Brazil team that left a few days ago was not a good one in its loss to France. Raphinha’s injury, which is expected to keep him out for more than a month, adds to the absences, with Carlo Ancelotti also without Alisson and Gabriel, who had been called up but did not travel with the team due to injuries.

It was a different showing for the other side, with Croatia beating Colombia 2-1 in convincing fashion. Luka Modrić came off the bench in that match, but the veteran midfielder could be in Zlatko Dalić’s lineup this time.

Brazil vs Croatia lineups

Ancelotti chose these players, with several key names out: Bento; Ibañez, Marquinhos, Leo Pereira, Douglas Santos; Casemiro, Danilo; Matheus Cunha, Luiz Henrique, Vinicius; João Pedro.

Dalić opted for this lineup with three defenders: Dominik Livaković; Josip Stanišić, Duje Caleta-car, Luka Vušković; Josip Sutalo, Martin Baturina, Petar Susić, Luka Modrić, Ivan Perišić; Andrej Kramarić, Ante Budimir.

Brazil and Croatia World Cup groups

The group stage picture is now set for both sides as they look ahead to the World Cup. Brazil are in Group C with Morocco, Haiti and Scotland, while Croatia are in Group L alongside England, Panama and Ghana.

The confirmed lineups for the international friendly match between the USMNT and Portugal, with Cristiano Ronaldo out of it.

The buildup has grown more intense for both teams, especially with Cristiano Ronaldo ruled out of Portugal’s trip to face the USMNT. This international window is the last chance for managers to evaluate which players they will take to the World Cup soon, and the match in Atlanta at 7 PM ET offers a major test for both sides.

The USMNT will be looking to move on from a disappointing performance after fans were left unhappy with the 5-2 loss to Belgium. Mauricio Pochettino had ruled Chris Richards out for this window, but the defender could be back. Jonny Cardoso is not available after returning to Madrid with an injury.

Much of the attention will be on Ronaldo’s absence from the squad. The forward was not called up for this window because of a lingering issue with his right hamstring, which led Roberto Martínez to give him more rest. Players such as Rúben Dias and Bernardo Silva are also out of the team because of physical issues.

USMNT vs. Portugal lineups

Pochettino elected this lineup: Matt Freese; Alex Freeman, Chris Richards, Auston Trusty; Timothy Weah, Weston McKennie, Aidan Morris, Antonee Robinson; Sebastian Berhalter, Christian Pulisic, Malik Tillman.

Martínez opted for this lineup: José Sá; João Cancelo, Diogo Dalot, Tomás Araújo, Gonçalo Inácio; Samú Costa, Vitinha, Bruno Fernandes (C); Francisco Trincão, Pedro Neto; Gonçalo Ramos.

USMNT and Portugal World Cup groups

With the World Cup approaching, both teams already know the path they will need to navigate in the group stage. The USMNT will be in Group D with Paraguay, Australia and Turkey, while Portugal are in Group K alongside Uzbekistan, Colombia and either DR Congo or Jamaica.

Cristiano Ronaldo won't be available for Portugal in the international friendly match against the USMNT.

The buildup continues for one of the sport’s biggest events. These teams are headed toward the World Cup with different goals, but this match still matters to both sides. Unfortunately for fans, Cristiano Ronaldo will not play for Portugal against the USMNT at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

Ronaldo’s absence was not a last-minute decision from manager Roberto Martínez. The forward was not even called up for the international window because he is dealing with a lingering right hamstring injury that led the staff to give him some rest.

Portugal did not have Ronaldo in Saturday’s match against Mexico, which ended in a scoreless draw. His place in the team could go to João Félix or Francisco Conceição as they look to make an impact in attack.

A huge task for the USMNT

As for the other side of this match, the USMNT still have plenty to prove after ending a promising stretch with a heavy defeat. Belgium’s 5-2 win put the spotlight on the team’s defensive issues, as they conceded four goals in the second half.

The person who needs to improve quickly is Mauricio Pochettino, who has not been able to push the team to deliver the performances many were expecting. For the manager, there could be an interesting decision ahead as he may choose a more cautious approach.

A player who could help bring more solidity at the back is Chris Richards, who may be available after Pochettino initially ruled him out. The absence to keep in mind is Jonny Cardoso’s, who returned to Madrid with leg discomfort that forced him to leave the team early.

Follow the live coverage of USMNT vs Belgium in an international friendly match.

The USMNT faced a tough test against Belgium, the strongest team they have played so far. In a result that raises plenty of questions, Belgium came out on top with a 5-2 victory in Atlanta.

After a promising first half where the USMNT had the better scoring opportunities, everything fell apart. Weston McKennie had put the team ahead with a set-piece goal, but a long-range strike just before halftime leveled the score and shifted the momentum.

Belgium dominated the second half, scoring three goals in 15 minutes to pull away. The rest of the match saw just one more goal for each side, making the final score 5-2 in a disappointing outing for the U.S.

The projected lineups for the 2026 international friendly USMNT vs Belgium.

The international window continues with a friendly between the USMNT and Belgium at 3:30 PM ET. The match, set to be played at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia, will be the seventh meeting between these teams, with Belgium leading the series 5-1.

The USMNT have some missing players, as Mauricio Pochettino confirmed in his press conference. The defense is the main area affected, with Miles Robinson and Chris Richards ruled out through injury.

Belgium are entering what could be one of the final chances for some players from their golden generation to win a trophy. Even if that will not be easy, they have improved with an attack that still looks as dangerous as ever.

USMNT vs Belgium lineups

Pochettino uses this lineup for the match: Matt Turner; Timothy Weah, Mark McKenzie, Tim Ream, Antonee Robinson; Tanner Tessmann, Johnny Cardoso; Weston McKennie, Malik Tillman, Christian Pulisic; Folarin Balogun.

Rudi García opts for this lineup: Senne Lammens; Thomas Meunier, Zeno Debast, Brandon Mechele, Maxim De Cuyper; Nicolas Raskin, Amadou Onana; Jeremy Doku, Kevin De Bruyne, Alexis Saelemaekers; Charles De Ketelaere.

USMNT and Belgium World Cup groups

The World Cup draw has already defined the groups and opponents for both national teams. The USMNT are in Group D with Paraguay, Australia and the winner between Türkiye and Kosovo, while Belgium are in Group G with Egypt, Iran and New Zealand.

Como sporting director doesn't think Nicolás Paz going from Italy to Real Madrid is confirmed.

The best players in the world are usually linked to Real Madrid, often arriving from other clubs for high fees, but Nicolás Paz represents a different case as he developed at the Spanish side before moving to Como.

For the Italian club, the Argentine’s presence has been a major boost in their push toward the Champions League. That is why their sporting director left the door open for Paz to stay in an interview with Radio Radio TV, even though a return to Spain still appears likely.

Carlalberto Ludi said: “There’s a complete syntony between Cesc Fàbregas’ ambitions and ours. We are putting in more resources every time we can at his disposal to work in the best possible way. Until something that we can’t control happens, we’ll continue together. Given what we can offer him, we are not concerned about his departure.”

Como’s ideal plan to keep Paz

Paz’s talent has always placed him on the radar of top clubs. With limited space at Real Madrid, he moved in search of minutes, which allowed him to show his quality at Como and help turn them into a competitive side.

Fàbregas has built the team around him to maximize his potential, leading to steady improvement and a current fourth-place position in Serie A. Qualifying for the Champions League could be key to keeping Paz at the club.

Ludi said: “Paz is happy here. The possible participation in European competitions may convince him to stay. There’s a chance he stays. This is an ideal environment for young players: welcoming, ambitious and centered around improvement.”

Real Madrid could bring Paz back for low fee

Paz’s development at Real Madrid allowed him to leave under favorable conditions. A buyback clause gives the club the option to bring him back again under similar terms.

Real Madrid would have to pay around 9 million euros, which could represent a strong move regardless of whether they keep him. Even if he returns, a sale is not ruled out, as offers reaching 60 million euros have reportedly arrived, according to Marca.

Inter Miami decided to honor Lionel Messi with in a peculiar way.

Lionel Messi has achieved countless things in the sport, from titles to individual records, but his latest honor has him at the center of a new tribute as Inter Miami name a section of their new stadium after him, something Barcelona did not do despite his history at the club.

Inter Miami have introduced what they call the Leo Messi Stand ahead of the inaugural match at the new stadium on April 4 against Austin FC. A similar tribute also exists at Newell’s, the Argentine club, even though he never played for their first team.

The club said in a statement: “Inter Miami CF is excited to announce Leo Messi’s stand, with our number 10 and captain set to become part of a rare and unique case in global sports: an athlete regularly playing at his home stadium with a stand named in his honor.”

Other Argentine players with similar honors

The Leo Messi Stand in the new stadium runs from sections 117 to 121 on the lower level and from sections 217 to 223 on the upper level. But he will not be the only Argentine player with a structure named after him.

Diego Maradona may be the clearest example, as the Argentinos Juniors stadium was originally named after him while he was still alive, while Napoli’s stadium left behind San Paolo to use his name after the historic player died.

A well-known name in MLS that also carries this honor is former Inter Miami and Atlanta United manager Gerardo Martino. Martino has a stand named after him at Newell’s stadium, which, fittingly, is also named after another famous manager, Marcelo Bielsa. Other major Argentine names with this honor include Ricardo Enrique Bochini and Mario Alberto Kempes.

Messi with Argentina

While most players are getting some rest, Messi is ready to play for Argentina. With the Finalissima against Spain canceled, they arranged two lower-level friendlies in their country. Mauritania are the opponent today, before they face Zambia next Tuesday, and he is expected to be involved in those matches even if he does not play 90 minutes.

The projected lineups for the international friendly Morocco vs Ecuador.

The week in sport is dedicated to national teams as the international break continues. In this case, Morocco play a friendly against Ecuador at 4:15 PM ET at Riyadh Air Metropolitano, Atletico Madrid’s stadium.

Morocco have been in the headlines lately because of a huge scandal around the Africa Cup of Nations, which they lost in the final to Senegal. However, the Confederation of African Football gave them the title after they appealed because their rival had abandoned the field.

Ecuador were the most solid team in the South American qualifiers, allowing the fewest goals with five in 18 matches. That put them in second place in the standings and secured qualification comfortably.

Morocco vs Ecuador lineups

Mohamed Ouahbi set this lineup in his first match as manager after Walid Regragui’s firing: Yassine Bounou; Achraf Hakimi, Issa Diop, Chadi Riad, Noussair Mazraoui; Azzedine Ounahi, Neill El Aynaoui, Mohamed Hrimat, Ismael Saibari; Brahim Diaz, Abde Ezzalzouli.

Sebastián Beccacece set this lineup: Hernán Galíndez; Alan Franco, Joel Ordóñez, Willian Pacho, Piero Hincapié; Moisés Caicedo, Pedro Vite; John Yeboah, Gonzalo Plata, Alan Minda; Enner Valencia.

Morocco and Ecuador groups in the World Cup

These teams have good expectations for the World Cup, where they will be in the following groups: Morocco are in Group C with Brazil, Scotland and Haiti, while Ecuador are in Group E with Ivory Coast, Curaçao and Germany.

Real Madrid legend Toni Kroos explained why he retired early.

Everybody was surprised when Toni Kroos announced he was retiring in 2024 after the Euro in Germany. At just 34 years old, his top performance for Real Madrid made the decision unexpected. However, he explained it in a conference with students from the Escuela Universitaria Real Madrid Universidad Europea.

Kroos said: “I retired because I didn’t want to get to the moment where I wouldn’t feel very well and started to have physical issues. The feeling with the ball never goes away. I still have it. I always knew I wanted to leave as I deserved, and how I wanted to be remembered by the club and the fans. The last image is very important for me. I’m very happy with the decision.”

This part has no doubts when it refers to the level of play Kroos had in his final year in the sport. Despite his country couldn’t go past the quarterfinals in his retirement match, Real Madrid was once again the king of the continent. With huge protagonism from the former midfielder, they won the Champions League days after celebrating La Liga.

Kroos on Real Madrid’s exigence

Real Madrid may be the most popular club in the world. What is certain is that they are the winningest institution with a dominance in the Champions League that was evident since the first edition.

Coming from a giant like Bayern Munich probably helped the midfielder adapt quickly to the standards from the fans. A nice story he told about this was the talks he had with club president Florentino Perez after lifting a trophy.

Kroos said: “I was hungry until the end. Besides, when you won the Champions League, the next day the president told you to go for the next one. You can enjoy for a few hours to the following day, when he tells you: ‘Well done and see you next year here again, at the same place with the same trophy.’ You can’t relax.”

Kroos praised Real Madrid’s current team

After some irregular stretches this year, Real Madrid looked the best against Manchester City in the Champions League. The figure of the series was Federico Valverde, who scored a hat-trick that sealed the match in the first leg. The German praised his number successor.

Kroos said: “The team has been able to improve their level, adapting to the rival and the importance of the match. They have done two very good matches. At home the number 8 also helped us very much. I really like him.”

Bayern Munich could see Manuel Neuer and three more players return for the Champions League's match against Real Madrid.

The international break may be the most important thing for the players this week. But what is coming for clubs when they return is also crucial. The Champions League quarterfinals between Bayern Munich and Real Madrid could even feature returns like Manuel Neuer’s.

Bayern Munich sporting director Christoph Freund updated the status of several players who could be back for that match. That includes possible returns for Neuer, Jamal Musiala, Alphonso Davies and Aleksandar Pavlovic.

Freund said, according to Marca: “Things are looking good. Davies and Musiala will use these days to get back to their best form and hopefully return. That’s our main goal. Neuer’s absence was precautionary. He’ll be back at 100% from the first training session.”

Musiala sets sights on Real Madrid

Neuer looks ready to return as Bayern’s goalkeeper after missing four matches. The situation is different for the outfield players, since they need time to regain rhythm, especially Musiala, who has played just 11 matches this season, and Davies, who has played 13 because of injuries.

The talented midfielder may be the biggest boost Bayern’s attack could get, after showing his quality in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16, when he scored in the 6-1 win over Atalanta.

German newspaper Bild reports that Musiala is doing everything he can to be ready for the Real Madrid match, training eight hours a day. While his target is clear, the player will not rush anything, and he may only see short spells of action until the pain in his ankle goes away.

The date for Bayern Munich-Real Madrid

A major classic is already building as two powerful clubs meet in the quarterfinals. The first leg is set for Tuesday, April 7 in Madrid, while the return leg comes the following Wednesday, April 15 in Munich.

The lineups for the match between Colombia and Croatia in an international friendly.

Colombia and Croatia are playing today at 7:30 PM ET in another friendly during the international break as both countries prepare their teams for the World Cup. The match will be played at Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Florida.

This could be a good test for both managers to see their teams against rivals of a similar level. However, they will also face strong opponents in the next few days, with both teams set to play countries with major quality.

For Colombia, the other rival in this break will be France at Northwest Stadium in Landover, Maryland. The concern from their side is that they will not have much time to rest, since that match comes next Sunday.

Croatia also have a tough challenge ahead, with a game against Brazil at Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Florida, just like today. They will get a better look with more days between matches for the game set for Tuesday.

Colombia and Croatia’s lineups

Néstor Lorenzo decided to use this lineup: Camilo Vargas; Daniel Muñoz, Davinson Sánchez, Jhon Lucumí, Johan Mojica; Jefferson Lerma, Richard Ríos; Jhon Arias, James Rodríguez, Luis Díaz; Luis Javier Suárez.

Zlatko Dalić inclined for this team: Dominik Livaković; Luka Vuscović, Martin Erlić, Marin Pongračić; Nikola Vlasić, Nikola Moro, Marco Pasalić, Petar Sucić, Mario Pašalić; Ivan Perišić, Igor Matanović.

Colombia and Croatia groups in the World Cup

The World Cup draw has already defined the groups and opponents for both national teams. Colombia are in Group K with Portugal, Uzbekistan and the winner of the playoff between New Caledonia, Jamaica and DR Congo. Croatia are in Group L with England, Panama and Ghana.
