"When they don’t try to play and just defend, defend, defend, this in my opinion shows a small mentality and they are not going to do anything in the competition."Instead of congratulating a resilient Iceland side on their first ever point in a major tournament, Ronaldo decided to sulk about it and take a swipe at their "small mentality". Heading into their next match against Austria, many expected Ronaldo to put it all behind him and get back to doing what he's done on many occasions in the last decade or so - carrying his country. But yet again, things didn't go to plan for the Real Madrid man. Having spurned a host of opportunities already, he won a penalty with just over ten minutes left to play. It was never in doubt that he'd take the spot-kick, and when he sent the goalkeeper the wrong way, the bulging net seemed inevitable. But then this happened... The post denied him and the game finished 0-0. Portugal are still not guaranteed a passage into the last 16.
