I think the reason everyone has laid into Ronaldo so much is due to the fact that they already hated him and every other Portuguese player to begin with.
It's not enough that they appeal EVERY time one of them goes down, that includes that fat twat Scolari, they also act like they're injured EVERY time they go down, which is ALL THE FUCKING TIME, and they then lambast the ref everytime a decision doesn't go there way.
But that's not enough, they have to then go and get our best player sent off for something the referee didn't even see. And he's also Rooney's teammate (probably ex now) and generally a smug, vastly overrated little prick.
Seriously though all Ronaldo does is stepovers, and not even properly, he just does it so much that its rendered almost useless, he's terrible on deliveries and generally doesn't contribute nearly like he should considering how good he's supposed to be. Ashley Cole OWNED him in 2004 and he replied by kicking him in the head.
I'm glad they lost, i'm glad Scolari showed his true colours too, he spent the whole night arguing for decisions that had they gone Portugal's way, may well have started another world war, that 'penalty' for instance where (i forgot which Port player) leaped into the air and brushed against a Frenchman's hands and claimed foul! He then showed no dignity or grace in defeat, just childishness.
Watching Ronaldo cry again was also sweet, not so much for the Rooney thing, but for all of the above and everything he represents in that shitbag of a team that claim to be sportsmen.
