De man just score in the last minute of injury time to give Portugal de win yes

I had to step away from this game in the 74' ... picked it up from about 30'. The Danes were very enterprising and arguably deserved a reward for their tenacity and attacking verve, but I always held the sense that Portugal would reap the points. The Danes played like the home team. They will feel this result.

This Portugal looked to possess more balanced qualities than the one I saw in the run up to Brazil. CR7 didn't seem particularly relevant to the outcome during the portion of the game I viewed, but he forced Schmeichel to commit to a ball that proved Denmark's undoing. All in a day's work?
I picked up the game from about the 75th min, the Danes from what I saw had the better of the exchanges and CR7 wasn't really relevant. Near the end he started to come on strong with effort, hustle and speed. The Danes almost converted a free kick in injury time but CR7 made them pay for not executing. The guy just has the will to win in his veins bc I said to myself that's it, tied game and then.....

Sometimes we wonder why teams pay so much or too much for a player. Well being CR7 is what it's all about. Juventus has already sold 60 millions dollars worth of jerseys.

From Yahoo. https://sports.yahoo.com/m/5ed50738-8609-38d3-877b-b15fae8e1de6/ss_as-cristiano-ronaldo-joins.html

On July 10th, it was announced that Cristiano Ronaldo had signed a multi-million dollar agreement with Italian soccer team Juventus, marking an end to his nearly decade-long career with Real Madrid.

Juventus seduced Ronaldo with a contract worth well over $100 million, and the deal already seems to be paying off. According to The Guardian, the team sold 520,000 shirts bearing Ronaldo’s name within just 24 hours of the merchandise being released.

To put that into perspective, beIN Sports reports that the team sold just 850,000 shirt during the entirety of the 2016/2017 season. Business Insider estimates that these Ronaldo-related purchases translate at least $60 million in sales, and notes that since "typically clubs receive only 10-15 percent of the revenue generated by the kit manufacturer (in this case, Adidas)," the team will probably see about $6 to $9 million of that money.

Juventus merchandise doesn't come cheap. According to the team’s website, Ronaldo fans can purchase children's jerseys with his name for €84.95 ($98.90), women’s jerseys for €94.95 ($110.60), men’s jerseys for €104.95 ($122.20) and an authentic replica of the gear worn by Juventus players for €137.45 ($160.10).

This means that average price for a Juventus Ronaldo jersey is $122.95. Multiplied by the 520,000 shirts sold, Juventus could have brought in $63,934,000 in one day. The team's Twitter account also gained one million new followers overnight.

The Guardian, Sky Sports and Mirror report that Ronaldo's four-year contract with Juventus includes an annual salary of roughly €30 million ($34.9 million). According to Forbes, that actually translates to a paycut. The deal will decrease Ronaldo's gross salary from $66 million to $64 million. Juventus is also required to pay a €120 million ($140.80 million) transfer fee to Real Madrid.

So far, it seems like Juventus' investment in Ronaldo is paying off for the club, but the player seems to believe that the deal is advantageous for him as well.

“I want to leave my mark on the history of Juventus,” he said at his first team press conference according to The Guardian. “This is one of the best teams in the world, and I’ve had my mind set on coming here for a little while.”

"I feel great, for me it is another challenge,” the Portuguese player said. “I know it will be tough. I will be ready, Juve is ready.”

CR7 getting plenty bwah for turning his back on the free kick that put Juve out of CL. Imagine if that had happen with one of our players in our national team.

Man turn and skin out even before the kick was taken. Not a good look.
