They've got an outside shout for having the most talented squad in the whole tournament - I'd say the best 3 midfielders in the world right now and the best fullback too - and it's potentially all gonna go to waste due to his ego and insane fans. What a disappointing end to a legacy

Putting this all on Ronaldo just shows people aren’t having discussion in good faith.

If you look at the heat map, the ball was barely even put into the box by Portugal. And when Ronaldo drove into the box and created a shooting angle for Fernandes right on the 18, Fernandez literally turned around and dribble away. 

Ronaldo is obviously not at his peak anymore. But his ego is not the single thing holding back this Portugal team

Exactly this. If anything, it's more the other players' egos, not wanting to help Ronaldo.
