Martínez: ‘When you need a goal, you cannot take him off’
Cristiano Ronaldo has admitted that he has played his last World Cup game, but said that even at 41 he has not yet made a decision about his future.
Twenty-three years after making his debut, the Portugal captain’s 233rd game for his national team ended in a late 1-0 defeat against Spain that led to elimination in Dallas. He departs as the only man to have ever scored at six World Cups and he said he does so at peace, claiming that Portugal’s European Championship win in 2016 is as big as a world title and noting that his era has been the most successful in the country’s history.

De Duitser Zverev stond op dat moment voor op de Tsjech: 6-4 7-5 3-3.
De partij tussen de twee begon om 20.50 uur, maar de twee uur en tien minuten voor het ingaan van de avondklok waren niet voldoende om een winnaar aan te wijzen. Na 23.00 uur mag er niet meer getennist worden in Londen om de buurt niet tot last te zijn.
Zverev, de nummer 3 van de wereldranglijst, won vorige maand zijn eerste grandslamtitel op Roland Garros. Hij kwam op Wimbledon nooit voorbij de vierde ronde.
