You are biased - from your words it seems that the entire World Cup he sits on the bench and does nothing, but in fact he earned a penalty + scored it, plus that goal that was recorded (fairly) for Bruno Fernandes was only possible because of Ronaldo's jump. And in general, during the time that he played, he played in the favor of the team. In the end, it's very strange: Ronaldo is criticized for "doing nothing but scoring goals", but when he does not score goals, he is criticized in the same way.
The same criticism has also been felt by other players before the Ronaldo Era, fans always want something more for players who are considered to have better skills than other players. When the player can't live up to the fans' expectations, the criticism will come at him relentlessly.
Ronaldo can't play as well as he did when he was young, the age factor has made some appearances decline. I admit, the coach didn't include Ronaldo in the main squad when Portugal beat switzerland because his contribution was so lacking. The coach does not want conflict in the team, he prefers other reasons that are realistic than telling the public the truth.
Yes, I remember how many people called Rooney a fat boar in the last years of his big career. Not too respectful  Grin
But I think that this problem will come to naught, because after the World Cup, Ronaldo will either immediately end his career in the national team or play a little more (in the European Championship qualifiers) and end it a little later. And fanboys will find a new reason/victim for indignation.
