Not A Good Night For Portugal

Cristiano Ronaldo

Manchester United’s Cristiano Ronaldo has been accused of trying to break Fluminese defender Silva’s leg as frustrations boiled over during Portugal’s 6 - 2 drubbing at the hands of Brazil in the capital of Brasilia.


Via DailyMail 

The 24-year-old defender said: “I don’t accept his apology. He has the cheek to say I jumped over his tackle. But if I did not jump he would have broken my leg.

Being considered the best player in the world, he must have more respect. It is difficult to accept what he did.”
