MARSEILLE, France -- When Cristiano Ronaldo failed to deliver, it fell to an 18-year-old newcomer starting his first game to help Portugal reach the semifinals of the European Championship.Teenager Renato Sanches had a coming-of-age outing for Portugal, scoring with a stunning shot from distance to cancel out Robert Lewandowskis early goal for Poland, and then converting his penalty in Thursdays shootout.At 18 years and 316 days old, Sanches became the youngest player to score in a knockout round at the continental competition, quite a way to return the trust placed in him by coach Fernando Santos on his first start of the tournament.Things werent going our way and I called Renato to change something. and we were lucky enough to have him score, Santos said. He played a great game. He is still growing and has a lot to offer. He will be a better player in the future.Ronaldos teammates then searched him out in the second half, while their captain let them down with a series of misses.Ricardo Quaresma had to seal a victory again after coming off the bench, stepping up to score the decisive penalty in the shootout following Rui Patricios outstanding save to deny Jakub Blaszczykowski. Five days earlier, Quaresma had scored in extra time to give Portugal a 1-0 win over Croatia in the last 16.However, he would never have had to be the teams savior a second time if Ronaldo had shown his usual ruthlessness in front of goal.Ronaldo appeared to get rattled after the Real Madrid forward fired Nanis pass into the side netting, giving Polands supporters a chance to mock with him chants about his Spanish league rival, Lionel Messi.And it only got worse when he failed to connect with three passes that teammates set up for him in scoring positions during the latter stages of the match.Despite the missed chances, Santos strongly defended Ronaldos performance.Cristiano played an amazing game, Santos said. People always focus on Cristiano because he has to score, but he has been playing amazing football.More likely, it was the latest instalment in his up-and-down time at Euro 2016.Ronaldo has reached three milestones in France. He surpassed Luis Figos record of 127 appearances to become Portugals most capped player, set a record for final appearances with 19, and became the only player to ever score in four different editions of the tournament.But the three-time world player of the year has also lost his composure at times, both on and off the pitch, and his two strikes against Hungary are his only goals in five matches so far.All eyes now will be on his next chance to redeem himself, against either Belgium or Wales in Lyon on July 6.Bubba Starling Jersey .

The players spoke Jan. 13 during a Major League Baseball Players Association conference call after Rodriguez sued the union and Major League Baseball to overturn an arbitrators decision suspending him for the 2014 season and post-season.All is not well at Alan Pardews Crystal Palace.The Eagles (3-2-8) are the most out-of-form side in the Premier League, heading into Saturdays game against Southampton at Selhurst Park on the back of six straight defeats, including an embarrassing 5-4 loss to Swansea City a week ago.Pardews side is 17th in the table but tied on points with Hull City, who top the relegation zone based on a worse goal differential between the two.Palace came from behind against Swansea to lead as stoppage time approached, only to concede two sloppy late goals and consign themselves to yet another loss.I have a good team, Pardew said. The goals weve conceded dont reflect well on us. But I will reflect on this game and try and correct it for the next one.Weve had six defeats and a couple of them -- at Burnley and now at Swansea -- we shouldnt have had. Thats what has put us in this mess, and we need to get ourselves out of it.The group understand that we have options -- we can change the team around. We need to get a victory quickly.The problem for Pardew is that this current run of results fits a concerning trend in his career. The coach has developed a reputation for overseeing dramatic dips in form after making an initial positive impression at a new club. And it appears as if his time at Palace also fits that mold.Pardew has never lost seven straight matches during his time as a Premier League manager.For it is not just the last six games in which Pardews side have been off the pace. Palace have averaged just 0.69 points per game in 2016 (5-7-20), lower than not just every team in the Premier League but less than any other club in the four professional tiers of English football.ddddddddddddWhile Palace have yielded an alarming 26 goals, scoring hasnt been Palaces problem this season as their 21 goals are the most outside the Premier Leagues top four. However, they may have trouble unlocking a Southampton defence that has conceded just 12 -- a defensive record that only Chelsea and Tottenham can better.Claude Puels Southampton (4-5-4) go into this match buoyed by their midweek cup win over Arsenal at the Emirates, while the Saints record against Palace will also give them confidence.The south-coast club have lost just one of 14 Premier League meetings with the Eagles and have conceded just three times in the clubs last six matches.However, its not all good news for the Saints, who are without Matty Targett and long-term absentee Jeremy Pied. Alex McCarthy is a doubt. And Puel has also confirmed that Tadic will not feature Saturday due to the broken nose he suffered while on international duty.For this moment, Tadic is not available for this game, Puel said. I dont when he will come back with the squad to play.Its important he can do good work now to come back fit and we will see with him and the staff. We want him to come back at a good physical level to play a strong game with us. He will wear a mask, but its a beautiful mask!Palace are without forwards Connor Wickham and Loic Remy due to injury, but goalkeeper Steve Mandanda is back in training after a knee problem. ' ' '
