Cristiano Ronaldo sits out Portugal's game with Switzerland at the round of 16 of the World Cup in Doha, Qatar on Tuesday, Dec. 7, 2022. But no problem. His substitute, Goncalo Ramos made himself an instant star by leading the team to a 6-1 win over Switzerland and into the quarterfinals. Coach Fernando Santos said he dropped Ronaldo from the starting lineup as a strategic decision and not a disciplinary one, having expressed unhappiness during the superstar striker's eve-of-match news conference on Monday, December 5 after he was substituted against South Korea in the team’s final group game.
