Curious to know: How is it that Ronaldo has not made the cut?
AND
Who is announced as the manager of this team, if there is one?
I think Ronaldo was omitted from the list because Portugal was eliminated at the Round of 16 stages and probably because three of his goals were from the spot
He had an impressive tournament though and should probably be in the team, but then, it is what is.
The manager wasn’t announced but I doubt anybody will look at anybody other than Roberto Mancini who guided the team all the way through the tournament unbeaten…
