The fact that Ronaldo was not included in this poster led to a lot of criticism from fans. Some commented that this is a sign that Ronaldo will be on the bench in the quarter-finals.
The player was on the bench in the pre-quarter match once morest Switzerland. Ronaldo was brought on only in the last minute of the second half of the game.
The fans noted that it is a very painful sight for a legendary player like Ronaldo, who has proved his talent and ability, to be out of form and to be on the bench in a tournament like the World Cup.
