But Christian Ronaldo is not good enough to win this world cup alone for his team because now age factor is also having big impact on him, and he can't do things like which he has done few years back for his team right now if Portugal is going into last eight then surely it's going to be big achievement for them.
Let's see later what tactics and strategies Fernando Santos will use for his Portugal squad. and how he prepares for the Portuguese squad. if santos still uses the same strategy only relying on ronaldo, then i believe that portugal will experience difficulties in every match later.
Portugal actually has a fairly even depth of players, on the attack line there are Diago Jota, Andre Silva, Ronaldo. In the midfield there are Bernardo Silva, Vintinha, Rafael Leao, Bruno Fernandes. In defense there are Nuno Mendes, Pepe, Dalot, Danilo Pereira. with these players, they should have a chance to get into the top 8.
Spain, France and England are surely best teams with their quality and players those can do something amazing to win this year's event.
Brazil, Argentina, are the best team based on their match statistics and have very talented players. these two teams are the strongest candidates, compared to England or Spain.
