Pundit Advises Dropping Cristiano Ronaldo for World Cup, Portugal Wins Without Him

Popular football pundit Geoff Shreeves has suggested that Roberto Martinez should exclude Cristiano Ronaldo from Portugal's starting lineup for the World Cup, citing Ronaldo's age affecting the team's mobility and fluidity. Despite Ronaldo's impressive career statistics, Shreeves believes Portugal performed better without him in a recent match against Armenia.

The decision to drop Ronaldo is compared to Fernando Santos' choice to bench Goncalo Ramos, who then scored a hat-trick. Ronaldo's absence in the upcoming World Cup games may impact Martinez's team selection strategy.
