  • Portugal 2-1 Croatia: Cristiano Ronaldo scored the decisive goal to edge out Luka Modric's side.
  • Switzerland 2-0 Algeria: The Swiss blanked the North Africans to comfortably advance. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

Waiting for someone to win something

one of your female boxers secured bronze....I think first time ever for Pakistan.

It is ridiculous though this CWG, how many sports they cut out that India traditionally medals heavily in like:

- Wrestling
- Shooting
- Badminton
- Hockey

This affects Pakistan medal count too. Don't know why that was done this time, this CWG almost doesnt count compared to other CWGs.

India Boxers are doing very well though this time.

Our biggest hope for a gold failed in the javelin throw. Arshad Nadeem the reigning Olympic and CWG champion failed. Finished 7th. Has been battling injuries. He's 30 years old now. Career may be over
