The final round of phase two of the World Cup gets underway Monday. With Qatar and Canada officially eliminated over the weekend, things are getting down to the wire.
On Monday, Cameroon and Serbia battle for a much-needed win. Brazil takes the pitch without Neymar, who is working his way back from a sprained ankle after the opening game. And Cristiano Ronaldo and Portugal face Luis Suarez and Uruguay.

Portugal vs. Uruguay — 2 p.m.
Portugal proved its dominance over Ghana in a 3-2 win, but showed it was not immune to a silly mistake or two. Cristiano Rolando became the first man to score in five World Cup tournaments. He is the country’s all-time goal-scorer with 118 goals.
Uruguay, meanwhile, will look for its first victory of the tournament after a stalemate against South Korea.

Brazil vs. Switzerland — 11 a.m.
Neymar left the game against Serbia in tears after injuring his ankle. The sprain will keep the Brazilian superstar out of Monday’s match against Switzerland, though he hasn’t been ruled out of the World Cup completely. Is Neymar fouled too much?
Brazil will also be without Juventus defender Danilo. The squad will rely heavily of Richarlison as they look to extend their unbeaten streak in the group stage to 17, something no other team has done.

South Korea vs. Ghana — 8 a.m.
South Korea performed better than expectations, holding Luis Suarez and Uruguay to a scoreless draw. Meanwhile, Ghana also over-performed in an exciting battle against Cristiano Ronaldo and Portugal. Ultimately, Portugal took all three points, but it wasn’t without some nervy moments.
This is the first World Cup meeting between South Korea and Ghana, though the teams have met six previous times in friendlies, splitting the wins.

Cameroon vs. Serbia — 5 a.m.
Serbia is bottom of Group G after an opening match loss to Brazil, the pre-tournament favorites. Cameroon also lost its opening game to Switzerland. And both teams will be looking to avoid defeat which would likely mean an early exit from the 2022 tournament.
Serbia have not won against an African nation in its previous two meetings — in 2006 against Ivory Coast and 2010 against Ghana. Meanwhile, Cameroon seeks to avoid equaling the longest losing run by a World Cup team.
