Plays last World Cup game
Ronaldo had three shots (two on goal) and one chance created in Monday's 1-0 defeat to Spain. After the game, he told reporters that it would be his final World Cup appearance, but he won't retire from the national team yet, per Guillem Balague of CNS Sports.
Analysis: Ronaldo brought the curtain down on his illustrious World Cup career as his country bowed out in the knockout stage. The veteran striker finished with three goals from 18 shots (nine on target), though he didn't find as many chances in the opposing box as expected given the overall quality of Portugal's squad.
Finally earns knockout goal
Ronaldo scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) in Thursday's 2-1 victory versus Croatia.
Analysis: Ronaldo finally broke his personal vendetta with the World Cup knockout stages, as would score from the penalty spot in the 68th minute to equalize the game and earn his first knockout stage goal. This gives the forward his third goal of the World Cup, having scored a brace against Uzbekistan in the group stage. He did leave the field in the 81st minute, but he should return to a starting role for their major game against Spain in the round of 16.
