Cristiano Ronaldo Portugal World Cup

Cristiano Ronaldo was dropped from the starting XI for Portugal's last-16 match against Switzerland, which they went on to win emphatically, 6-1.

Cristiano Ronaldo had this attitude 10 years ago, but the following game he would score a hat-trick, and he was 27 - everyone would forgive him. "They've proved that before in the Euros [winning in 2016] and they've done it today. If he just gets it all right in his head, he could still end up scoring the winning goal for them in the final." He has never told me that he wanted to leave our national team and I think it’s high time we stopped with this conversation, that we stop with the polemics. "That's a team that can easily go all the way," ex-England striker Wright began on ITV Sport. We should all be closer together and not try to get the atmosphere worse." Felix added: "I would like to leave a message to the Portuguese people and to the press. And now, is the Portugal manager wrong? Santos told the media: "I think it’s high time to leave Ronaldo alone. "Ronaldo is happy and totally focused," he said. It is all going to become apparent - first on Saturday when the two sides Pepe, Raphael Guerreiro and Rafael Leao were also on the scoresheet as Portugal laid down a marker ahead of their quarter-final against Morocco with the 37-year-old clearly not missed by his team.

CRISTIANO RONALDO'S is causing more unrest in the Portugal squad with his team-mates reportedly confused as to why his PERSONAL manager is at their Wo.

He left the dressing room against Switzerland, warmed up, went out for a run to celebrate the goals with his team-mates. Let's leave Cristiano Ronaldo alone." "A team in the truest sense of the word, which will fight for the dream until the end! It's time to finish this and stop. He marched alone. Strength, Portugal!"

Cristiano Ronaldo didn't start in the FIFA World Cup knockout game against Switzerland as Portugal won 6-1 to reach the quarter-finals.

Cristiano Ronaldo and his Portugal team will look to end Morocco's surprising World Cup run that has brought joy to African football and the Arab world.

The Arab world’s standard bearer, Morocco is in the quarterfinals on merit, too. Amrabat said he played with a back injury requiring painkilling injections in the match against Spain, during which captain Romain Saiss finished the game with his leg bandaged up after treatment and fellow center back Nayef Aguerd hobbled off in tears with an apparent thigh injury. Given the drama constantly surrounding him, he's sure to be a talking point whatever happens. As for Morocco, the nation is in uncharted territory after becoming only the fourth African country to reach the quarterfinals at football’s biggest tournament, after Cameroon (1990), Senegal (2002) and Ghana (2010). Portugal is at this stage for only the third time, perhaps surprising given the talent to have come from the country down the years. Morocco is also the only team from outside Europe or South America to make it to the last eight in Qatar.
