We're well into the knockout stages and it's all about doing what you can in a fair manner to give yourself a chance to win. Morocco earned their way into the quarterfinal and if Switzerland beat Portgual in normal time, extra time, or shootout, so be it.
Ronaldo back wearing his gimpy "I've been dropped" earring. Strange fella.
wright: when’s the last time someone told him no?
me: err…
me: err…
Feck off Ronnie.Having agreed with Gary Neville for long time but what he said now about Ronaldo is correct. This isn't the way to behave at the end of his career. Ian Wright speaking truth as well.
Pissed off with him for his shit at United, but such a great career and one of the greatest in history needs to be more self aware and realise his legacy includes more than scoring lots of goals etc. Here he's playing for his country with a manager who always has his back, yet he still gave him attitude. A little manners goes a long way.,

Tbf Morocco have been a decent side to watch. They just parked half of Marrakech in front of the goal today because it was Spain and knowing how they play. I'd imagine it would be a different game with opposition like the Swiss.
Was he talking to Laura Woods?
Roy Keane raging somewhere because his beloved Ronaldo is being "disrespected" and "not being threated" differently to everyone else.
Sub, sub. Wash your ears out.
Yes he was, but i think Courtouis saved Real Madrid way more than Bono saved Sevilla tbh.
The Zamora Trophy is given to the keeper who has the less ratio of goals conceded, but that is also on the defenders not just the keeper.
Still i don't rate players based on international performances, international footy allows inconsistent players to shine more, e.g Sofyan Amrabat has always been an inconsistent player, and he looked like Casemiro against Spain, same can be said about Granite Xhaka, always looking class with Switzerland and his club level was never high.
Everyone wants to dribble
"In Morocco we trust".
The stage is set for Ronaldo to come in as a substitute and save Portugal 
Do ITV fancy doing any punditry at some point during the World Cup?
Is Bruno captain for Portugal now? Top man if he is. Captain for us and his country
I take it we will now be getting a new Piers Morgan interview with Ronaldo?
Actually makes more sense than starting. Before this was decided alot of portuguese pundits had the same opinion. Put him on when Switzerland defenders are more tired.The stage is set for Ronaldo to come in as a substitute and save Portugal
Eni Aluko has performed worse than Wales this World Cup.
Japan were the only team this World Cup who played with a somewhat similar style and even they played with more cutting edge despite their relative lack of talents compared to Spain. Pointless, braindead football. I'm glad they're going home.
Aluko talking up Serbia's chances of winning here. Did you know she also has a first class law degree?
Piers salivating at this team sheet
It's an advantage for Switzerland. Is it bollocks.
How long until we get a tweet?
Spain's attacking options are quite pathetic in all honesty, have they produced a decent forward since Villa, Torres and Pedro?
Pepe is the captain.
Drop Ronaldo
Still don't play Leao
Sad
Still don't play Leao
Sad
he might well do that, but he still needs to fix his attitude.The stage is set for Ronaldo to come in as a substitute and save Portugal
Yeah for sure, I don’t begrudge them playing however they need to in order to win (or not lose, as with today).
I just really don’t want a WC semi or final with Morocco or Switzerland in it.
I want to see players with magic and the ability to really play and entertain.
I don’t get to watch many / any CL games because I haven’t got cable, so I wanna see the best teams and players.
Also, as much as I don’t begrudge any team playing how they need to in order to win, I don’t wanna watch negative footy.
Eniola Aluko just called Switzerland as Serbia and had to correct herself. I give up
It's a tough period for him, but he will recover from it.
She's a terrible pundit. I'm sure she used to be a lot better when she first did punditry but nowadays she's one of the worst
I know. All the fans knew it. He would have gotten a lot of grace from us because of his history with United, had he just tried to be a part of the team.
However, his personal issues with his career slowing down, is still no excuse for his recent behaviours
For one I’m delighted that Ronald’s happens to still be shit outside of playing football for our club.
Despite all common sense there was a little tiny part of me that wondered if we were to blame for it.

Correct, the kick off will be a disaster .....Swiss ...."you take ball and attack". Morocco " no chance, you take the ball and attack"
before the day wanted portugal to get knocked out, now i want them to progress today without ronaldo. Then bring him back next game to get knocked out with him pulling a lukaku and missing like 5 chances.
that lad for Morocco has impressed me every game I've seen him, Amrabat. has looked quality
As a swiss Ronaldo not starting is a big downer
