An image of CR7 sitting down kind of sums up his performance at Portugal’s inglorious exit game.He missed a whole bunch of sitters.He needed to score at least 4 goals to make up the goal difference.He hit the goal post on one occasion,he hit the goalkeeper on about 3 occasions and hit another couple of shots perilously close to the Ghana goal.He missed an unbelievable number of times but more significantly,he missed a glorious historic opportunity of becoming the one who would always have been remembered as the player who led his team into the last 16 against all odds.
But he just kept missing those sitters.
Ghana,to their credit,left their locker room troubles in the locker room and put up a pretty good show.
Portugal out.
