Iran would be dreaming to create history as they face Portugal in their last group match. Iran has never qualified ever in the knockout stages of the world cup and they would be hoping to achieve this feat this year but this won’t be easy. Portugal have also not performed as they had expected but Cristiano Ronaldo ensured that his team gets the maximum point from every match.
