Ronaldo is out of the World Cup?! Wow

Reports are Cristiano Ronaldo is OUT of the World Cup due to his injury . He left training with icepack on his knee .

Weird. I heard he simply left training early with an ice pack on his knee -- exactly as he did before the match against Germany.

Would love to see sources to verify the rumor.

I really don't like Portugal. Hope the USA goes through.

I see rumors of risks and of course his club getting anxious. But that's par for the course.

If you're gonna say he's out of the Cup, he better be out of the Cup.

This is all I've seen:

What happens in a case where there are two teams tie on points? Who goes through? goal diff or head to head?

How low?

I was supporting Italy even before I moved to this country.

Seems like worthy rumors. He's not getting any of the rest his knee needs, that's for sure. In any case, Portugal is probably going home within 3 matches if not 2 anyway.

Goal diff.
