MARSEILLE, France -- Portugal is facing Poland in a European Championship quarterfinal on Thursday. Here are five Portugal players to watch:---CRISTIANO RONALDOWho else? Cristiano Ronaldo arrived at the European Championship as its undisputed star. However, he has hit both highs and lows so far. Some unflattering comments on fan-favorite Iceland were followed by him grabbing a TV journalists microphone and apparently throwing it into a nearby lake. But he refused to let Portugal be eliminated at the group phase, scoring two goals and setting up another to secure a 3-3 draw with Hungary that sent his team through. He failed to score in the other three matches, and missed a penalty. But the Real Madrid forward did make up for a quiet match against Croatia by setting up the stoppage-time winner in the round-of-16. Against Poland, he will be aiming to equal Michel Platinis all-time scoring record of nine goals at European Championships.---PEPEPortugal doesnt have the tightest of defenses, but the player who most often rescues his teammates at the last second is Pepe. The centerback is the heart of Portugals defense and a steady hand in comparison to Ricardo Carvalho, who was dropped for the last match against Croatia. Along with Ronaldo and goalkeeper Rui Patricio, Pepe is the only other Portugal player to have played every minute of the competition for coach Fernando Santos. He will be charged with making sure Poland striker Robert Lewandowski doesnt finally rediscover his scoring touch in Marseille.---NANIAlways in Ronaldos shadow, Nani has been Portugals most consistent attacking player in France. The winger scored Portugals first goal of the competition in a 1-1 draw with Iceland, and he started its fightback against Hungary with another goal. He celebrated his 100th appearance with the national side by launching the move that led to Ricardo Quaresmas winner to oust Croatia in the round of 16.---WILLIAM CARVALHOPortuguese teenager Renato Sanches got all the attention following the 18-year-olds move to Bayern Munich last month. And while Sanches has provided glimpses of promise coming off the bench, William Carvalho has quietly impressed as a serious, disciplined defensive midfielder. After not playing a minute in Portugals opener, Carvalho has been the focal point of Portugals midfield. The 24-year-old is second only to Pepe in passes attempted and completed, with a completion rate of 92%.---RICARDO QUARESMAWith only one start in four matches, Ricardo Quaresma has provided some much needed spark off the bench. The forward went on against Hungary and made an excellent cross for Ronaldo to score his second goal and seal the draw. Quaresma then had his moment to shine when he scored the injury-time goal to send Portugal past Croatia and into the final eight.Dellin Betances Jersey .com) - Yankee Stadium is the home of the Bronx Bombers, but on Sunday afternoon it will open its gates to host the latest addition of the Hudson River Rivalry.

He was appointed head coach of the Melbourne Renegades - a position that Saker had also held - earlier this month and Cricket Victoria has now confirmed that McDonald will also take the state reins.The move continues a rapid coaching rise for McDonald, 35, who less than two years ago was still playing in the Sheffield Shield. Although he ended his career with South Australia and also played four Tests during 2009, most of McDonalds career in Australia was played with Victoria - he appeared in 71 first-class games for them for 3516 runs at 40.88 and 163 wickets at 28.18.Over the past two years, McDonald has been a popular coach of Leicestershire, lifting the performances of the struggling county, and now he will take over a side sitting in a position of strength in Australian cricket. Victoria have won the past two Sheffield Shield titles, first under long-time coach Greg Shipperd in 2014-15, and then under his replacement Saker in 2015-16.Im really pleased to be coming hhome to Victoria to take on the coaching role with the Commonwealth Bank Bushrangers, McDonald said.dddddddddddd The state team is in a really good place on the back of consecutive Shield victories and Im looking forward to building on that culture of success and delivering results across all formats.Im a proud Victorian and have been lucky enough to share some big wins playing cricket for this state. Im excited about the challenges that are ahead of us and I look forward to working with the coaching staff and the players led by Matthew Wade on the busy schedule ahead.Tony Dodemaide, the Cricket Victoria CEO, said: Were delighted that Andrew has agreed to return to Victoria after his time in charge with Leicestershire. He brings a great enthusiasm and knowledge to the role and knows Victorian cricket well which stands us in good stead ahead of the upcoming Sheffield Shield season and Matador BBQs One Day Cup.The Commonwealth Bank Bushrangers have enjoyed terrific success in the last two years with our consecutive Shield victories.
