Ronaldo in danger of missing World Cup games after red card

Cristiano Ronaldo's recent red card during Portugal's 2-0 defeat to the Republic of Ireland has put him in jeopardy of missing at least the opening match of the World Cup. This incident not only highlights Ronaldo's ongoing struggles but also reflects the broader challenges faced by the Portuguese national team, which is now under pressure to secure a playoff spot. The loss to Ireland reignites discussions about Portugal's World Cup aspirations and the potential absence of their star player, which could have significant implications for their performance in the tournament.
