Portugal Girds Their Loins

You know who it’s gotta suck to be right now? Cristiano Ronaldo. Because no matter what the guy does, he’ll be criticized 8 ways to  Sunday. In a way, he’s carrying his entire country on his back, as unfair as it is.  Good thing he’s got a lot of self-belief and a good team to play with. But is it enough to beat Spain?
