It was 76nd minute of the France – Belgium match in Paris and the result was still a shocking 0-1. Zinedine Zidane was on the brink of his first defeat as the country’s coach just five minutes later, it was already 2-1 for Les Bleus.

But when it looked like the defeat could really happen, the French boss fielded out his ‘heavy artillery’ and Olis..

Cristiano Ronaldo is the headline in the sporting world again. And not for the first time, the problem is his playing time (or to be precise, the lack of it). After falling out with Portugal boss and his former coach in Al Nassr Jorge Jesus, Ronaldo caused a fierce debate all over the world and especially in his homeland about his playing time. His fans think he should play all the time regardless of his displays, while others think that the Portugal team has relieved itself from Ronaldo’s ‘shackles’ and can thrive. Because whenever Ronaldo played (either for a club or a country), he had to be the centre of attention, and he would command to do it all: shoot, take penalties and take free kicks. Who knows how many good players simply didn’t have a chance to score goals from free kicks when Ronaldo was in their team? But sometimes, just sometimes, they found a way to ‘trick’ him and take a shot.##TWITTER_
