And he should be selfish. He is the best finisher in the team by several light years.

i think you guys are overlooking the passes that led to ronaldo's (amazing) finishes. their midfield is solid, but their defense is lacking.

The throughpass to Ronaldo was nice. But remember that Sweden opened up their defence. They pushed up the back line and left plenty of space for Ronaldo to exploit. When the game was even in the first leg, Portugal were just throwing hopeful crosses into the box. Their midfield is at best functional. Don't expect quality passes from them on a regular basis.
