Well if Ronaldo got off the schnide, then I hope Lewandowski can break out for Poland.
There's also a problem with being a one-man team; at least per someone who is often said to have been a one-man team, I think that Argentina was actually very good in addition to Maradona. The sportswriters like to puff him up too much.
Maradona: Portugal too dependent on Ronaldo
"Portugal are too dependent on Ronaldo," Maradona said in a column for the Times of India. "He was brilliant against Hungary, but they are half the force if he doesn't click and the tactically astute Croats will ensure he is low on supply.
"He may have to move around for space and chances of Portugal's success hinge on how well he does that.
"They also have to plug holes in midfield and defence, because these are areas where mistakes may lead to elimination. Croatia start favourites."

Portugal might have a chance but I don't see it. It would also knock out one of the most impressive teams in the tournament.
