Portugal and Uzbekistan to hold fan walks before Tuesday's match

Marches are in fashion in Houston for the World Cup, and we've got two more for today's noon match.

The big picture: Portugal has something to prove after settling for a draw against Congo in its tournament opener.

• The odds heavily favor Portugal, but it's Uzbekistan's first-ever World Cup, and the team is still chasing its first tournament win after it lost 1-3 to Colombia.

Zoom in: Portugal's fan march begins at 9am, heading from the Smith Lands South Parking Lot near the Texas Medical Center to Houston Stadium.

• Uzbekistan's fan walk meets at Helix Park at 7am. Plov will be distributed at 7:30am, and entertainment will follow before the march begins at 9am.

The vibe: It's been a Portugal party in Houston for days. Hundreds have gathered outside the team's hotel, and the streets and bars have been buzzing with excitement.
