    His last tweet. Nothing about extra time or the shootout.

    Portugal being knocked out by Morocco while Ronaldo is benched would be a beautiful thing.

    I’m sure I missed it, but why is he on the bench? He in the coach’s doghouse for some reason?

    I think it goes back to his behavior when he was subbed off in a group stage match. The manager benched him for both knockout matches. But he’s on now as a sub.

    The USMNT "set pieces" coach needs to take notes on the Netherlands and Portugal teams.

    He also sucked in group play and was caught lazily offside when he didn't hustle and get back to the back line on a play.

    And his replacement had a hat trick.

    Well, there's that. And how many minutes of stoppage did the ref finally give in the first half? This game could wind up going four hours.

    Ronaldo abandoned his teammates to head to the locker room all by himself. Dude is torching his legacy every chance.
