Portugal manager Roberto Martinez has been slammed for not dropping Cristiano Ronaldo against France on Friday.
A Selecao were dumped out of the European Championship after losing to France on penalties following a disappointing 120 minutes action.
The 39-year-old forward finished the entire game but did not add much against a pretty poor French team.

Former Republic of Ireland striker Tony Cascarino has now questioned Roberto Martinez's decision not take Ronaldo off.
"How can you justify it? How does Martinez as a coach, manager, justify keeping him on?,"
"He had nothing to say in that game. And you can say previous games, he backed him and talked very highly of what a great professional he was.
"But you're watching that game last night, and if he was a young lad, he'd have been hauled off at half time.
"You've been beaten by a French team, okay, and it's gone to penalties.

"They couldn't have played as poorly as they did last night, the French. They were really disappointing again. And all their top players didn't turn up.
"No one was that exciting. Dembele came on, and probably Saliba did as well as anybody. Even Kante didn't have his best game.
"And they've knocked you out. I think as the days roll on, it will be a huge disappointment.
"And I'm afraid he's played a part in the reason why they haven't got past France, the manager, because he indulged something that was hurting his team."
