We now know the BBC commentators, pundits and presenters for Portugal and Croatia’s World Cup round-of-32 showdown.

Portugal and Croatia are both looking to book a place in the World Cup‘s last-16 where Spain lie in wait following their resounding win over Austria on Thursday.

Toronto Stadium will see Cristiano Ronaldo or Luka Modric end their glittering career on the international stage in what is set to be their final World Cup appearance.

Live coverage of the game is available on BBC One in the UK at 11.30pm with the main event kicking off half an hour later at midnight.

Mark Chapman presents from the Beeb’s Salford studio ahead of the European duo’s showdown with analysis from Lucas Leiva, Theo Walcott and Rachel Corsie.

Lucas is best known for a decade-long spell at Liverpool, where he became a cult hero among supporters despite winning only one major honour during that time.

The former Brazil international enjoyed greater success in a five-season spell with Lazio, where he lifted the Coppa Italia and the Italian Super Cup on two occasions.

Walcott became England‘s youngest-ever senior player when he broke through at the age of 17 in 2006 before being named in the 2006 World Cup squad.

The winger spent 12 years at Arsenal, winning the FA Cup twice in that time, before spells with Everton and latterly Southampton, where his career had started.

Corsie, meanwhile, is one of Scotland‘s most capped women’s players after registering 155 during a 19-year playing career both north and south of the border.

She was part of her country’s 2020 success in the Pinatar Cup as well as seven Scottish Women’s Premier League title-winning sides with Glasgow City.

Corsie also enjoyed multiple spells with several clubs in the National Women’s Soccer League and the Women’s Super League as well as the A-League Women.

Match of the Day commentator Steve Wilson will talk viewers through the action alongside one of Lucas’s Liverpool predecessors in defender Stephen Warnock.
