Aggreed, they looked really lathargic.. I am sure they have 5 more gears tho. But they will have to play a LOT better to win lift the cup.
I would suggest that they sack Ronaldo, he's fat and past his prime

Kind of tough to tell Ronaldo to take a seat and let the youngster have a chance. Kind of like telling Cal Ripken he needs to sit out a few games.
I'd expect Ronaldo to get a chance to add a few more goals to his totals during the first round, but take a seat once the knockout rounds start. He may be a legend, but he's definitely at the end of his career. Considering his fitness, declining a roster spot would have probably made for a more graceful exit.
