Ronaldo on bench as Portugal takes on Switzerland

Cristiano Ronaldo has been named on the bench for Portugal as they face Switzerland in the final Round of 16 match.

All eight of his World Cup goals have come in the group stage of the competition, the most goals scored by a player in the tournament's history without ever netting in the knockout rounds.

Ronaldo is yet to find the back of the net in any of his six knockout appearances for Portugal at the World Cup, despite playing 514 minutes and having 25 total goal attempts.

Former Manchester United defender Garry Neville says it wouldn't surprise him if Ronaldo comes on and scores the winner but the petulance and sulking has to stop.

The winner of this game will face Morocco on Sunday at 3am.

Meanwhile, Bono was the hero for Morocco as they knocked out Spain 3-0 this morning.

Both teams were locked at nil-all even after the two extra spells.
