Portugal Has Significant Edge To Beat Iceland on Tuesday
Published on June 14th, 2016 11:26 am ESTCristiano Ronaldo, one of the world's very best football players, will be leading Portugal into their match against Iceland later today.
The Portuguese side will be leaning heavily on Ronaldo this tournament, though players like Eder and Nani will also be looked upon to contribute as well. Make no mistake, though - the hopes of Portugal rest squarely on the shoulders of Ronaldo, and this fact is not lost on Portugal's opponents. Teams will be focusing their efforts on shutting down Ronaldo.
Not much is expected of the Icelandic side this tournament - this can be a dangerous thing, however, as Iceland has absolutely nothing to lose. Scoring a victory over a team like Portugal would be a large feather in the cap of Iceland, which is why they shouldn't be slept on for Tuesday's game.
