Just watched the highlights of the 3-3 tie between Spain and Portugal.
My earlier comments, about 24 hours ago, about Ronaldo (his dives and antics) are proven once again. I rest my case with this guy.
The first Portugal Goal was a clear and shameful dive in the box as Ronaldo's cleats became suddenly nailed to the pitch as he goes down for a penalty shot. Every angle shows him swing his right leg (near his calf) out to "brush" the defender yet his legs become hopelessly immobilised.
Portugal's last goal, and Ronaldo's absolutely magic dipping ball into the top corner was made tasteless as moments before that, to get that free kick, it seems his cleats once again got suddenly stuck in the pitch drawing this free kick.
His antics are shameful and humiliating. This is how he represents his country. Good job, does he ever wonder what everyone in the world thinks about not only him but the nation he represents when doing things like this?
Spain was clearly the better football team.
Portugal clearly has the better actors.
I am sickened by this, yet again. I feel for Spain. They deserved the 3 points. Rolando deserved a red card.
