RONALDO - How Cristiano is showing his age at Euro 2016

 
The Portugal captain is yet to score in France and is commanding the headlines for his lack of form but there is no indication he still has the ability to turn his luck around
GOALCOMMENT
All of Portugal is expecting to beat Hungary to qualify for the Euro 2016 knockout rounds tonight but, as much as that, the nation as a whole is willing Cristiano Ronaldo to score the goals to get them there. Rarely has the lack of form of one player commanded so much attention. It might well be a useful deflection for the other players in the squad who are yet to contribute to a win in France but there is no doubting the seriousness of the issue in the minds of Ronaldo's countrymen.
"After the first match the story was that Cristiano was all smiles," said coach Fernando Santos. "And now the story is that he is not smiling. I'm sure he will do what he does best, which is score. I'm sure he will do everything anxiety free." The Portugal captain has taken 22 shots so far at these European Championships but remains among those names with a big fat zero next to their goal tallies. Portugal's all-time top scorer, Real Madrid's all-time top scorer, in front of goal at least it appears that Ronaldo has indeed swapped bodies with that kid in Nike's pre-tournament advertisement.
