The old order will clash with the new when Morocco and Portugal go head-to-head in the World Cup quarterfinal on Saturday, and unsurprisingly all eyes will be on Cristiano Ronaldo once again.

The talismanic 37-year-old Ronaldo was left out of the Portugal side to face Switzerland in the Round of 16, and in his absence Portugal shone bright — Ronaldo's direct replacement Goncalo Ramos scored a hat-trick to guide his side to a 6-1 win.

Question marks now loom large as to whether Ronaldo will be restored for the last-eight matchup, or whether the young Ramos will keep his place, but either way this game represents something of a changing of the guard.

Morocco have stunned everyone with their progress at this tournament, and they are 90 minutes away from becoming the first-ever African side to reach the semifinals.

Here's how you can watch all the action on TV and via stream online in Canada.
