Portugal had better go on without Ronaldo in the starting eleven.  Grin  It doesn't seem like they need him anymore.

In the end Switzerland weren't a small team against Portugal but Portugal just demolished them by a score like 6-1. Goncalo Ramos didn't find much chance in the previous matches actually. Because of that it was a really interesting choice by Fernando Santos. However Ramos proved how much correct choice it was by showing an incredible performance with a hat-trick and an assist also. Ramos is a player who has grown from Benfica's youth team and he is already a very important player for his team. He is a very productive striker there already.

I think he will be in the starting eleven again instead of Ronaldo against Morocco also. Morocco had better be prepared well because they won't have a similar experience to the Spain match obviously.  Grin
Maybe they wanted to test if they can do without Ronaldo or not Ramos was the star of the day - it was surprising to know that he is only 21

Ronaldo must have been very hungry to score a goal as he couldn’t net a goal. Overall, it was a fantastic play from Portugal with very good goals. With more accurate passes and a fast gameplay, they came prepared and thoroughly whipped the Swiss. The Swiss players played with little motivation in the second half as they seemed to have resigned to their fate of having lost already.
Goncalo Ramos having scored 3 goals for the match ball is obviously the man of the match. I think Portugals gameplay was fantastic and they played better than all their previous games. A hatrick is always a beautiful thing and there’s joy when one gets one. I think Pepe’s goal was a wonderful goal and he played well also. At his age of 39, he’s still kicking strong.

Just wanted to share this, Marocco vs Spain had the best odds and I almost knew they were going to pull it off, and yet I got fucked by the sportsbet.io rules.
Apparently the main bet slips don't include penalties, you can all shit on me for not reading the fine print but in my eyes as someone that never bets this was just a straight up scam, too bad, never gonna use sportsbet again.

Interesting victory for Portugal and an embarrassing defeat for Switzerland. At the end of the match between Portugal and Switzerland, Switzerland conceded 2 goals in the first half and 4 goals in the second half. Switzerland only scored a consolation goal. Making it 6-1. Goncalo Ramos, the player of the moment, is now the only player at the World Cup in Qatar to have scored a hat trick. Morocco will be Portugal's following opponent in the quarterfinal.

Honestly Switzerland gave up too early, their resistance were broken after second goal so I'm not surprised about six goals defeat. Portugal easily found chances. Gonçalo Ramos was man of the match, he was talented young player and this is his only fourth game under national team jersey but his performance from U-21 team already told us a lot about him if you follow closely. We may see a big transfer for him, Benfica know very well how to make deals like that.
Portugal looks better without Ronaldo. It's easier to defense opponents. I guess an era was over and a new one already started.
1966 and 2006 this the third time Portugal has qualified for the quarterfinal
The first player who did the hattrick - the honour is stolen by the  portugal too.

Portugal needed Ronaldo despite winning 2-0 in the first half. Fernando Santos should give enough minutes for Ronaldo in this game instead of saving them for the game against Morocco, so this will give Ronaldo confidence and a good mood to face Morocco in the quarter-finals.

Now that Gonçalo Ramos has scored his second goal of the match, the score has changed to 3-0 in favor of Portugal.
It looks like the team doesn't need Ronaldo on the field, but Santos still decides to let him play at 5-1. What does this mean for the team and for Ronaldo? Santos said before the match that they have no conflict with Ronaldo, it seems that Ronaldo should get used to the fact that he is no longer the most important player in the team if he is left on the bench in the 1/8 finals.

Morocco and Portugal Both are my favourite teams. Let's see which team wins
But SUI didn't play they had lost the moral after the third goal. Ronaldo is not in a good mood today - but the team played very well. Congrats to Prtogual

What a qualification for Marocco country! They did an amazing job today against Spain who simply couldn't perform and install their own play style and Marocco knew exactly how to defend for 90 minutes , pushing the game to extra time and then penalties. At penalties...well...we can all agree that Spain has an awful penalty session and Marocco had only 1 goal , shot as strong as you can in that ball and score.

G. Ramos has the potential of replacing Ronaldo if he retires after the Qatar 2022 world cup. Pepe will also be saying goodbye to international games after this, which will be the last world cup for both.

G. Ramos might be the only one to get a hat trick in the 2022 Qatar world cup. Because we are moving straight to the quarter-finals after this match, where every country will be more serious than ever and cheap goals will not come by that easily. Morocco will have a tough time playing Portugal, but if they can do it against Spain, they will do the same with Portugal.

Now I have closed my TV because Portugal really won this match easily from Switzerland. This game started off very well as Switzerland looked great too, but Portugal's success in scoring goals and taking good chances means this game will not be so good to watch until the end.
The game became frustrating to watch, Portugal's early goals made the game boring and killed the competition in the game from the start. The highlight will be how the young player who was started ahead of Ronaldo was able to score a Hat trick. In my opinion it was the best decision from the coach not to start him in play, if they had, i doubt that he would have scored those goals. If Portugal wants to go far in this competition, they should start younger players and bring Ronaldo in as a substitute.

Lost the bet to Spain but the losing money came back from Portugal.
I didn't lose and won today because, looking at the current conditions, my balance still seems to be the same before and only slightly different.
It was quite a pleasure to watch Spain's match today but I was put back in my mood by Portugal.
I don't know why when I see Portugal win I am always happy, especially now with the bets I have, I really like watching their games with massacres like this.

Ronaldo is definitely still needed it's just that the coach had other plans and just look so far the strategy is going well
Portugal lead 2-0, which means Ronaldo is not needed in this match and will be prepared for the upcoming important match

Without Ronaldo, Portugal played quite well in this match where Portugal was already leading 5-1. Somehow Switzerland is really having a hard time putting up a good fight in this match. I think the coach has another strategy in this match by giving a big surprise because Ronaldo had to come on as a substitute in this match. even so I was very happy to see the strains of a very beautiful game from Portugal because it managed to score a lot of goals. For Switzerland, Portugal is indeed a strong opponent for them because in the first half Portugal was able to score two goals which made the game easier for Portuguese players to control. ronaldo has entered the field i hope he can score in the remaining time of the second half.

Ronaldo is now coming onto the pitch with accolades from fans! The score, being 5 goals to 1 in favor of Portugal. I think the match is over and everybody knows it. Ronaldo being brought onto the pitch would most likely have on his mind to score a goal. He hasn’t scored a goal in the knock out stage of any World Cup and I’m sure he’s hoping to score a goal in this match.
Switzerland is defeated already cause it’s obvious to me at least that they just cannot come back from this and are just holding out till the final whistle is blown. Portugal is the dominant in this match and the only question is if Ronaldo would be on the score card.

Now I have closed my TV because Portugal really won this match easily from Switzerland. This game started off very well as Switzerland looked great too, but Portugal's success in scoring goals and taking good chances means this game will not be so good to watch until the end.

Benfica striker Gonçalo Ramos has scored 2 goals so far, Pepe 1 and a goal from Raphaël Guerreiro. This makes Portugal really safe to qualify for the next round and I am very sure Morocco will have a very difficult time holding Portugal like Spain earlier. Meanwhile, Manuel Akanji reduced the arrears for the Swiss to 4-1 now and it was a consolation for the Swiss. But hope that Ronaldo will play the rest of the match even though Portugal has won this game 99% of the time.
I am also saying the same thing If we look at the match stats there is not much difference between two teams I would rather you see Switzerland ahead of Portugal in match position. Switzerland's bad luck is they don't have good attackers. There is still some time left in the match, and Cristiano Ronaldo just entered the field and the stadium crowd made me feel that Portugal is going to score some more goals, and they already proved my prediction wrong today:").

sWiss fans and swiss coach is so upset on the team performance - SUI is going home and Portugal is heading for quarterfinal
So we have Morocco and Portugal today's winner.
Even without Ronaldo in the first half they were still very good in this match.
On the other hand right now I see another talented young player who is doing very well for Portugal.
The first hattrick in the world cup this time was scored by Goncalo Ramos. It's really worth watching because he played really well and I saw Pepe who is nearing the end of his life in Portugal scoring goals too in this match.

Now that Gonçalo Ramos has scored his second goal of the match, the score has changed to 3-0 in favor of Portugal.

Usually the coach will use the last 5-10 minutes to replace players and Ronaldo will play there that should be enough to keep her confidence up
Portugal 5 goals now they're completely safe and can go to the quarter finals Switzerland could do nothing in the remaining 20 minutes of the match

Your prediction was correct - now our fav Ronaldo is in the ground too. But I don't think he will be able to score even a single goal. Today I have notice he had a hair cut too. Somewhat arabic style - he looks so kool in that hair style

I don't mean to doubt Ronaldo but it seems that Fernando Santos has considered Ronaldo's current stamina and ability, he doesn't always put Ronaldo to play the full game until the end of the match and in my opinion, it is a wise decision rather than forcing to play. but maybe what you said is right, Fernando Santos may be preparing Ronaldo for the match he reckons he needs Ronaldo as the pivot of the game in Portugal.

The current game is very exciting, Portugal won by 5-1, I think this match is very difficult for Murat Yakin's squad to catch up with.

Spain's being eliminated like this was a very unexpected one for me. I have always known Spain by playing a boring game which is focused on ball possession completely. This was working out very well against smaller teams anyway of course. Hence I wasn't expecting them to have any problem against Morocco. But Morocco were just incredible there. It was like they solved their game plan completely and countered it in a great way. Because even though Spain had an insane percentage of ball possession they were still not having a comfortable time about having so many goal attempts.

I was still hopeful about penalty shootouts as Spain had more skilled players to take the penalties. But they had another shock there. They scored 0 out of 3 penalties and said goodbye to the World Cup by 3-0. I really don't understand how they can take these penalties too badly.
