    They say penalty shoot outs are a coin flip but honestly you can predict who wins the shoot out most times. Some teams just don't have the players/goalkeeper to win a penalty shoot out

    Well only santos know but we base the Interview of Santos yday where he said he wasnt happy about how Ronaldo acted to the korean player we can assume its the reason

    I mean fair play to Santos if he did because of tactical reasons but a WC R16 game is not the time to reprimand players

    Agree. especially one day after the Poll that said 70% of portugal fans would prefer Ronaldo out(by Record portugal) , this shows he is getting effected by media

    This was a certain win for the Swiss, but Portugal stand a chance with Ronaldo benched. Still think Switzerland will have too much for them.

    Portugal will have to hope Leao, Vitinha and Cancelo can have an impact from the bench, don't understand why they're not starting

    Ronaldo is ❤️❤️❤️❤️ mate. This isn't 2015. He actively makes whatever team he plays for worse. This is why Rashford displaced him for United and why most Portugal fans didn't want him to start.

    Switzerland are a good team. Even if they don't have the same quality, they have a better manager and more togetherness. They are highly likely to win a knockout tie Vs Portugal.

    Ronaldo deserves this. His last World Cup and he’s been dropped because he’s acting like a petulant child. Spoiling the end of his career.

    have you ever seen G.Ramos play? In any case, Ronaldo was quite okay in the first 2 games this WC and got decent chances even though he failed to convert them. It's games like this that you need great positional strikers to score goals esp with Portugal's awful creativity

    Never seen him play.

    Surely if Portugal have bad creativity (which they shouldn't with the players they have), then they should go for a striker who can create his own chances (Leao) or one who can help the team create (Felix), rather than a tap in merchant who won't have anything to tap in

    Santos on benching Ronaldo:

    “It's a strategic option, we've been preparing for a few days. It is not connected [to the words in the game against Korea], that matter is closed. He is an exemplary professional and if he has to go to the game he will definitely help Portugal.”

    looks like its this way

    Will never be tired of watching Pepe. My 3rd favourite CB of all time after 1. Sergio Ramos + 2. John Terry.

    Have been quite average in the final 3rd tbh. Swiss seems like they are playing without any midfield. Too easy for Octavio/Felix/Carvalho
