Spain will probably do a good job of keeping Ronaldo quiet in open play. The danger is a rash tackle that gives him a dead-ball opportunity.

Meaning:  Facing the Spanish team, the famous Portugal player Ronaldo will not do much, unless someone in the Spanish team does a dangerous movement, which will give Ronaldo an opportunity.

This is a prediction about the Euro 2012 for which Spain plays Portugal.  Cristiano Ronaldo is a famous player for the Portugal team. 

To keep Ronaldo quiet means that Spain does not give Ronaldo a chance. 

A rash tackle is an illegal movement to an opponent, and a card may be shown.

A deal ball is a situation including throw-ins, corner kicks, goal kicks, and direct kicks.
