The bookies would love you to put money on Portugal, theyve been ramping them for ages now as they know the mugs will back any game Ronaldo plays in.
He is a luxury player, when his team is playing well he shines, when they are not he goes missing. He isnt a leader on the park the way Drogba or Messi are (if we're talking about one man teams at their level then these are the best two examples), he cannot take a game by the scruff of the neck out of nothing or dictate play.
I'm not saying he isnt a match winner but he cant be relied upon, Turkey are the weakest sides in the competition this year after the hosts, I expected Portugal to press on against them but it never happened.
DONT BELIEVE THE HYPE, PLEASE!
