Opinion: Martinez wronged Ronaldo by forcing him into the World Cup at all costs

A columnist argues that Portugal coach Roberto Martinez failed Cristiano Ronaldo by continuing to start him at the World Cup despite his diminished form, at the team's expense. The author compares the approach to vandalising a priceless monument and says Ronaldo deserved a better send-off. Portugal were eliminated in the Round of 16, losing 0-1 to Spain.
