Actually Ronaldo didn't even play yesterday against Switzerland which mean Portugal club without Ronaldo is already strong.

Yesterday I said that the possibility of the coach's decision not to play Ronaldo in the match against Switzerland would be a fatal mistake for Portugal. However, I was very wrong, Ronaldo absence actually made Portugal more confident and can play as they wants without their star. They were able to win the match with a big score, this was beyond my expectation. Congrats to Portugal.

They will be up against the surprise team, Morocco. This is the first quarter-final for Morocco in the world cup. Can they surprise Portugal by qualifying for the semi-finals? Let's wait, because this team is unpredictable, so I think the chances are bigger in Portugal, but surprises can be happen.

well portugal is strong even without Cristiano Ronaldo. and in the match against switzerland, Cristiano Ronaldo was played in the second half around the 74th minute if I remember correctly. even Cristiano Ronaldo put the ball into the opponent's goal but unfortunately Cristiano Ronaldo's position was already offside at that time. so it doesn't count.
and in the next match I believe Cristiano Ronaldo will again be played as a starter.

Morocco has indeed exceeded everyone's expectations. But Portugal is a strong team and Portugal has a chance to win the match. But do not rule out if Morocco again makes a surprise in this match.
