Portugal is going to the next round for sure regardless. Many teams in this situation would bench the big guns just to get them some rest so they can be more energized in games that matter. In this case, Christiano Ronaldo is just absent instead of being in bench but the reason is the same.

Maybe he's sick. He's a person too. He isn't Superman. People get sick. You can't expect athletes to be 100% absolutely perfect all the time 24/7.

He is HOT, so he wanted to save his good looks for the next game!!

he has a yellow card so it is better for them to just keep him on the bench for this game!! besides they had already qualified for the next round!! =)
