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
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.

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

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.

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.
Seems like Portugal team entered the field because they had to increase their goals
SUI is upset and their moral is down and they are losing all the hope on the other hand SUI is very upset and sad.

We are all so fond of Ronaldo that we don't imagine Portugal team without him
This is his last world cup and Portugal team will continue without Ronaldo - but good work done by all the young players - but we miss ROnaldo - ROnaldo - Ronaldo

the score has changed to 4 - 1 SUI scored its first goal finally - they will lose with dignity
Portugal team did very well - seems like they used to depend on Ronaldo so much - it the whole team test and they did so well.

Unbelievable but Morocco are in the quarter finals of the World Cup despite all odds the held the Spanish team to a draw even if it was not a contest which the Spanish team out player the Moroccan.

Now I think there is very much believe in the team and I am Still putting my money that they would beat their next opponent which is likely Portugal.

I said it when Morocco was still competing in the group stage Morocco is one of the best underdogs so far with an impressive record
When facing some stronger opponents Morocco can rely on penalty shootouts like they did to Spain today
Just pay attention to this one team and let's look forward to more surprises Portugal will be waiting for them.

I think Portugal 2 - Swiss 1 and Portugal will be winner.
I wait for Portugal match because Ronaldo is my Favourite - and today he is starting at bench - why why why!
I don't understand the strategy of the Portuguese coach because Ronaldo was not added to the main players list, so I'm very disappointed because the round of 16 must win the game to advance to the semi-finals, I hope the coach has to add Ronaldo soon because he has to take advantage of time to win this round so it's easy get a ticket to the quarter-finals. (update: Portugal has won 1 goal).

That is a crazy thing for not starting Ronaldo but I believe he will surely play in second half if truly not happen to him.with performances Ronaldo have show in this world cup he did not deserve bench in any reason and if really he was bench without no any reason of injury Portugal have disappointed him be that, because  this is round 16 and they are playing against strong team which is Switzerland, which is necessary for him play because is a world class player which everyone wish to see him  pitch playing and believe is the one that will take national team to next level like messi, but if they bench him for no reason or they are planning to replace him in second half that show Ronaldo is not that important in Portugal national squad again.
Why they did that to ROnaldo? He is a legend - however portugal even performed well without him
I now see ROnaldo exercising and warming up maybe he will join in the second round.

Now Morocco will face the winner of tonight match between Portugal against Switzerland.  I congratulate Morocco for advancing to the quarter finals.
I really can't believe what happened in Spain vs Morocco match. Spain did a lot of attacking and possession, but none of them became goals.
even in the shootout, what happened to the Spanish kicker? this is really beyond my prediction. I think Spain will face Portugal in the quarter-finals.
now Portugal is 2-0 ahead of Switzerland, hopefully, there will be no other surprises in this match. if it passes, Portugal must study well the Morocco game. if you don't want to go home before the final.

well it looks like the first half will end pretty well for Portugal. Switzerland will be a bit depressed mentally in the second half. because the difference of two goals in the first round is a bad thing I think. Even I thought that in the second half Portugal would score again. But I hope in the second half CR will be played. because I support Portugal because there is CR in it. so if you see Portugal's match without CR, I think it will be a little boring. but to be honest the current line-up is also really good. but it would be better if there is CR.
The fans were expecting Ronaldo to play for this game but I don't know what made him get benched today by his coach. It looks like Ronaldo is quite ready to play, he celebrated Pepe's goal and that is a sign that he is not injured. Most likely Ronaldo will be played in the second half, so don't worry if you are one of his fans.

But anyway, I think Portugal is still playing well even without Ronaldo. The proof is that Portugal managed to lead the first half with two goals, so it's not really a problem if Ronaldo is saved for the next match.
yes you are right. The lineup for the first half was pretty solid. and it cannot be denied that Portugal will still excel even though CR is not played in the match this time. and the second round of matches has now begun. so let's see if CR will be played or not in the second half? But I am also quite sure that CR will at least be given time to play. And it seems that there are no serious problems that occur in CR. seeing the look on his face on the bench it seems CR is feeling fine. And I think this is indeed the best plan from the coach.

And Pepe just scored a great goal with a brilliant header from an equally good cross. That makes Portugal ahead by 2 goals to nil and we are still in the first half.  It would be kinda hard to bounce back from this as Portugal equally seem intent on winning this game. It would be a bit difficult but I think if Switzerland could only score a goal before half time, then there is a slight possibility of them going in to a draw and perhaps into penalties.
Still, It seems like it would end 2 nil in favor of Portugal for the half time cause the match would most likely go into half time with the scores still 2 nil.
I'm agreeing with you that pepe scored a nice goal with his nice head. In the match, Switzerland's first half went well under pressure. But match position pass accuracy is not far from anyone else in all other respects. Even though Cristiano Ronaldo is on the bench today, I still don't think Portugal's strength has diminished. For Switzerland to make a comeback, I think they should emphasize their attacking. But my prediction is that I don't think Switzerland can make a comeback against Portugal and the match might end 3-1 or 3-0.

Morocco wins with penalties phase against Spain. I said I quess Spain wouldbe  eliminated by Morocco. I’m very proud of me. I feel like Paul the Octopus or seer.

I think that morocco is capable enough to force the game to be draw and doing penalty and I think Morocco will be very strong for Spain today and they will beat Spain. Also Spain had no impressive performance during the group qualified. But Spain has the favorite team in this match.

Now Morocco will face the winner of tonight match between Portugal against Switzerland.  I congratulate Morocco for advancing to the quarter finals.

Ronaldo not on the field, what do we think of that? It seems like they play much better without Ronaldo. There is quite a bit of quality in the field at Portugal in this way. Few countries can really compete with that. And Switzerland turns out to be a size too small. The 2-0 lead is a good reflection of the game, in which Switzerland did not really have a single decent chance. Portugal is with one leg in the quarterfinals, and will smell opportunities since Morocco is the opponent there. I think Portugal will make it to the semi-finals and then go out there against France/England. But we are not there yet. They will not give away the 2-0 lead tonight.

At the moment Portugal is 2 goals ahead of Switzerland, so I think they just need to play it safe until the match ends. Switzerland did try to do their best for this match where they were brave enough to play openly and attack well, but several opportunities really failed for them at this time.

Portugal is also likely to try to score more goals in this game because I don't see them reducing the tempo of their attacks. In essence, the more goals scored, the safer Portugal's position will be to qualify for the quarter-finals. I think it is Portugal who will qualify in this match to face Morocco in the quarter-finals. Portugal's journey to the final is one step safer than now.
