The argument was that Quaresma would add variety and potency in a three-pronged attack. Almer watches it safely over the top. • Portugal have played 14 games in Paris – 13 against France plus a 0-0 friendly draw with the Netherlands. Just one brief set-to with Nani to report thus far. Austria's star - Bayern Munich's David Alaba - had a dreadful game and was withdrawn after 64 minutes. Up he stepped but, with the previously excellent Robert Almer diving the wrong way, the No7 sent his penalty crashing against the post. CHANCE!Nani gets free on the left, opens his body, and Almer saves with his feet! But the flag was up anyway. • In qualifying for the 1954 FIFA World Cup, Austria defeated Portugal 9-1 in Vienna. Down goes Ricardo Quaresma on the right, thanks to a late tackle from a wrongfooted Fuchs. At the goalpost, with its small mentality and clear anti-Cristiano agenda? Silva, 21, who plays for Monaco, is one of the best young playmakers in world football. • Austria played in nearby Saint-Denis at the 1998 finals, losing 2-1 to Italy on 23 June – a defeat which spelled elimination for Herbert Prohaska's side. Sebastian Prodl shepherds the ball out of play - admittedly the most annoying thing in the universe - but Quaresma has a little nibble, and then a few words with the referee, and he's in the book. The ball comes out to Vieirinha, who volleys from 30 yards! Portugal were fluid and inventive, with Ricardo Quaresma joining Ronaldo and Nani in a three-man forward line, the latter linking neatly with the excellent André Gomes. Nani & Ronaldo in attack; Quaresma returns for @selecaoportugal. • Portuguese clubs have yet to win in six UEFA games at Parc des Princes (D2 L4). Erich Probst marked his competitive international debut by scoring five. What a chance. Austria fans - with their "small-time mentality", no doubt - are loving this. It is a strategy much favoured by his compatriot Jose Mourinho. Updated . The Real Madrid forward then criticised Iceland for their negative tactics and said he felt they had a small-time mentality because they celebrated the point - the nation's first ever at the European Championships - as if they had won the tournament. Nani very much the designated frontman for Potugal's aforementioned NQR frontline - Ronaldo is lurking wide on the left, and Quaresma to the right. Some serious urgency about Portugal now, albeit not quite at the Ronaldo-shooting-from-everywhere levels of the Iceland game. The joke was on Ronaldo, who on a night of incredible profligacy missed a penalty, missed sitters, missed free-kicks and had a goal ruled out for offside. Christian Fuchs of Premier League winning Leicester is also struggling. Oops, bit premature with the goal update there - which make it even funnier, if anything. An unfamiliar noise was ringing in Cristiano Ronaldo’s ears. "When we talk about other people's reaction in Portugal we say if you don't feel you are not really a good person. Martin Hinteregger grabbed Ronaldo by the waist as they both chased a cross. As it clattered into the post Ronaldo threw his arms into the air in disgust. Yellow card for Quaresma! Ronaldo: no goals from 35 free kicks in major tournaments. His response to Iceland’s determined, resourceful, endlessly committed performance in St Etienne last night redefined the term ungracious.Rude, petulant and surly it did little to gainsay his reputation for oafish narcissism. "But I don't think you should bring up fair play after other people have shown lack of fair play.". Who can say? Can Alaba and Arnautovic guide @oefb1904 to victory? Quaresma tries again from the right side and Ricardo Carvalho hooks a hopeless volley over the bar. Portugal and Austria meet for the first time since October 1995 in the second set of UEFA EURO 2016 Group F fixtures. Portugal's early momentum has started to fade. Free-kick to Portugal, and Ronaldo has pulled rank at last. Lively enough start at the Parc des Princes, this. Ronaldo stepped up to take it. Austria couldn't...could they? In comes the corner, a Portuguese head meets it, and Almer gets down to gather the ball. Kevin Wimmer's on for Austria, Spurs fans, and off comes Ilsanker. Portugal: Rui Patricio, Vieirinha, Pepe, Carvalho, Guerreiro, Quaresma, William Carvalho, Joao Moutinho, Andre Gomes, Nani, Ronaldo. Despite the delicious vein of memes in Ronaldo's existential terror, I genuinely feel for him in this moment.
