Cristiano Ronaldo become the first man to score in five World Cups as Portugal overcame Ghana in their first game, although they will surely face a more difficult task against Uruguay. As has been the case since their Euro 2016 win, Fernando Santos’ side haven’t proven convincing and were even somewhat fortunate to come through the Ghana game with three points.

The vivid history Luong Van Can Street in the old days.  Back in the 1930s, a direct road linking Hang Quat Street and Hoan Kiem Lake was built as part of Le Quy Don Street, which stretched 300 meters from Hang Bo Street to Le Thai To Street.
