World Cup
Hi Peter- I know you're just having fun, but you may have a point. Portugal
had been fine without him, just ran into a surprisingly tenacious Morocco team today. Maybe Ronaldo could have provided a spark- despite all his character flaws (on and off the pitch), he's not a typical Portugal player who looks for grass to fall on  Maybe he could have added spark. Problem is he's made his own bed, and teams (not just his national side) have decided his talent no longer merits the bucket full of headache that goes with him. Trent King

World Cup
Peter- yep, I get it. You can say the same for Brazil though- did you see the
firepower on their bench? These managers have to balance what they think will work best and, until Port ran into a staunch Morocco, it held up. Can't wait for semis! Trent King

World Cup
Peter- I did find an interesting stat about Ronaldo, as it relates to World Cup
knockout matches. Across 5 WCups, he scored exactly ZERO goals when it was win or go home. Zero. Perhaps this consistent lack of production within vital Cup games tipped the scales in his manager's mind; after all, the manager already knew Ronaldo was a) ageing and b) a cancer. Who knows, maybe it would have been best to leave him off the team completely? At any rate, the semis should be fun. My heart says Croatia, but before yesterday I was hoping for a feud W Cup rematch between Argentina and England Trent King

Trent that is indeed surprising, although still a small sample size. As for the semis, I think France and Argentina, Morocco feels like a Cindarella team whose time is going to run out although with that goalie who knows.
