Sutton: 'They have underperformed because of Ronaldo'

Chris Sutton, former England forward, BBC 5 Live:

Goncalo Ramos played in the last 16 at the last World Cup and scored a hat-trick when the manager did have a bit of courage to leave Cristiano Ronaldo out.

We're four years further on, Ronaldo is four years older and look what's happened.

They have underperformed because of him.

It wasn't a great game, but had plenty of narratives and a really exciting ending - so well worth it, I think!

Coming up tonight

The quarter finals are starting to take shape, and last 16 action continue tonight as the United States take on Belgium for a spot in the last eight.

This game has been littered in controversy, with Folarin Balogun allowed to play after president Donald Trump made a call to Gianni Infantino and FIFA.

Anyway, coverage of that one is underway with my colleague Isabel Baldwin, and you can follow along by clicking below.

White: 'You can see the disappointment'

Ellen White, former England striker, BBC:

You have to feel the emotion for Ronaldo with what he has done for Portugal.

Could he be back in four years at 45? You never know but I think it's potentially his last one.

You can see the disappointment in his face. They just didn't do enough in the game and he didn't get enough opportunities. Maybe there are questions as to whether Ramos should have come on because he made a huge difference in the previous game.

Piers waves goodbye

Ronaldo's biggest fan and, of course, his best bud, Piers Morgan, has said goodbye to Ronaldo as his World Cup career comes to an end.

YOUR comments
  • Dutch Matrix: Pound for pound one of the worst games of football I’ve ever watched considering the talent on the pitch. Thank God Merino put us out of our misery and we weren’t subjected to another 30 minutes of it.
  • Anonymous: Sorry for Portugal, but Spain deserved to win.
  • Spanishlady: I'm happy but not super happy. Thanks Cristiano Ronaldo, you have given us so much.
  • Anonymous: Arteta playing merino as a striker has transformed him, always has a eye for goal despite where he plays.

Ronaldo brings the curtain down on his World Cup career, then.

Here are the numbers:

  • Six tournaments
  • Twenty-seven games
  • Eleven goals

A few tears to go with it, it seems. The end of an era.

Rooney: 'The right team won'

Wayne Rooney, former England captain, BBC:

It wasn't a great game. You've got two teams with tactical players but I think the right team won.

It wasn't a classic but that won't bother them.

Record-breaking Spain

Spain set a new World Cup record tonight, of going 609 minutes and six games without scoring a goal.

From Unai Simon, to Pedro Porro, to Pau Cubarsi, to Aymeric Laporte, to Marc Cucurella - they have been a rock.

They will take some breaching. The USA or Belgium will have a go next.

Sutton: 'An embarrassment from the manager'

Chris Sutton, former England striker, BBC 5 Live:

Spain weren't as fluid as they would like to be but it's all about getting the job done in knockout football. Portugal go out with a whimper.

How did Goncalo Ramos not get on the pitch?

It's an absolute embarrassment from the manager, just pandering to his star player, the most decorated player that Portugal have ever had but you've got to be stronger than that.

Portugal are out because of Roberto Martinez.
