I think this is also meant to give more experience to the young Portuguese but with 1 goal now it looks like they have started to play very well and it is likely he will be used later in the second half even though this is quite a surprise.
I think now they are starting to break free a little but on the other hand we still can't be sure of this especially considering the current conditions it seems that Switzerland will start to heat up and try to catch up.
But today it's about all the player. Although Ronaldo is super star. But the life goes on!
But on the other hand, I personally am not only specifically looking at whether there is Ronaldo or not, but so far Portugal has always done well, even from the group phase until now.
