I would know that unlike any other. But that's not what he said. He said that if Iceland played 1-1 Albania and Turkey are out.

Sorry, my post was a reply to Escobar's post that both Iceland and Austria would get knocked out with a draw, and how it was good that at least one of them scored.
I said that Iceland wouldn't get knocked out even at 1:1, and I wanted to say: since even then they had at least two 3rd placed teams with less points than them in Albania and Turkey.
Then you replied that Turkey is not out.
So, you see, it was a misunderstanding, I needed to explain better.
Turkey is not in/out yet.
They can promote as the 4th 3rd placed team or get knocked out as 5th 3rd placed team, depending on how Group E will finish tonight.
My original point in that post was that Iceland was "in" both at 1:1 and 2:1.

Even with 3 goals difference Turkey will be out. It has to be above 3 because Belgium scored more goals.

Okay. You are forgiven.
I feel like I've fallen into the twilight zone reading these headlines. Portugal finishes 3rd in a group behind HUNGARY and **ICELAND**... and they're being praised?
It's like a flash back to when they narrowly qualified for the world cup.
Then you read an article about how Cristiano "saved" Portugal? Saved from what? The pitiful results, the missed chances and penalties? Did we forget he was a part of their failure in the first place?
The only thing that saved Portugal was this pathetic 24 team round only eliminating 8 teams.
I mean my god,the greatest player in the world is a success because he scored on Hungary (but still finished behind them and ICELAND) ? I know we've had years of this delusional coverage. But this is getting to an insane level. They're really grasping at straws now to maintain the illusion.

Even when Ronaldo scores and gives assists, its never enough, always a reason to hate

Cr7, Nani and Quaresma can cause damage.
But their midfield, defense and a team build up do seem like a mess currently.

You can see Renato trying to play some football while the rest are afraid of this powerful Hungary... Pack your bags and go home, you dont deserve anything.

He is still the reason why they qualified for next round. It is not some great achievement but he delivered when his team needed him. He doesn't do that very often though. He did deliver against Wolfsburg and Roma too, real were in bad shape and he did good. But they are still Roma and Wolfsburg, not great teams again. This is the recent trend of his performances, he became old and his level dropped a little but conserves especially for these moments and also the motivation to be the best helps. But he can not do that against big teams because neither will he get chances to score nor create chances for someone to score. Even the hattrick against Sweden falls under this category. That one won him the Ballon D'or.
