A big slice of Suarez-shaped schadenfreude already delivered this week, how about a taste of Ronaldo tears for afters?

Another one destined for penalties. I foresee, Ronaldo missing his to send Portugal home

Switzerland beat France on penalties at the Euros. They’ll suffocate the game, slow it down and hope to nick it on the break but they’re certainly capable of dragging it to penalties.

Whether it’ll be a good game to watch is a different story, but all that matters at this stage is the result.

I’ve had enough ridged defensive football for one day but hopefully the Swiss get a similar result. I highly doubt it though, Portugal have much more direct players

Ronaldo starts on the bench? Manager better hope they win, then, else that’s his job doomed.

90 minutes of deep throating of Ronaldo and he isn't even on the pitch

That's an outrageous shot. Near post, left footed, tight angled, tightly marked postage stamp. And it made Ronaldo's spirit just slump.

Incredible strike, probably the best of the tournament so far, no right to score a goal from there

Whenever I watch Portugal, I still think of that player, Deco they once had. He was a lovely player. Very artistic

Yeah I’d say that’s the best I’ve seen so far. Absolutely magnificent strike.
