Football Portugal vs Switzerland : World Cup last 16 Match Thread 7pm 6/12/22

Venue: Lusail Iconic Stadium naming a brand new stadium iconic



Portugal coach Fernando Santos says he "really didn't like" Cristiano Ronaldo's reaction to being substituted in the World Cup defeat by South Korea.

Ronaldo was taken off 65 minutes into their final group-stage defeat and has denied directing an outburst towards his coach.

Santos refused to comment on reports Ronaldo could be dropped for Tuesday's last-16 match with Switzerland.

"I am not worried if information is right or wrong," said Santos.

"I do not read this type of information. I am focused on my team. We are focusing on training and not paying attention to any polls [in the Portuguese media].

"Yes, I did not like it, not at all [Ronaldo's outburst]. I really did not like it and from that moment on that issue [it] is finished."

Much of the Portugal news conference on Monday was dominated by talk of the 37-year-old forward, who left Manchester United by mutual consent in November following a controversial interview.


All eight of Cristiano Ronaldo's World Cup goals have come in the group stage of the competition, the joint-most goals scored by a player in the tournament's history without ever netting in the knockout rounds (alongside Lionel Messi). Ronaldo is yet to find the back of the net in any of his six knockout appearances for Portugal at the World Cup, despite playing 514 minutes and having 25 total goal attempts.

I hope he scores, but he's not been very good & the team, like Utd, has more than enough players that would be better than if Ronaldo was starting & not doing any work - hopefully Bruno sticks one on his head properly this game.

Santos reinforcing what we already know - Ronaldo isn't a top level player any more.

Don't know too much about Ramos, but you've still got Leao on the bench who's a much bigger threat than Ronaldo too.

Portugal need to take this seriously, they’ve a decent chance now.. getting Ronaldo out of the team is a good start.
