Ah, Christiano Ronaldo. Say whatever you like about him...
Go on...
See, it's hard isn't it?
It seems there just isn't much love for Christiano - beyond his own narcissism of course.
But as the saying goes, you have to give love to get loved, and Ronaldo is basically a dislikable and petulant little turd, and especially when things don't go his way.
The other thing to note about Ronaldo, is that his exploits on the international stage have rarely matched the standards that he sets at club level. It seems that there are two Ronnies.
Now, this is an accusation that has been made against many players - England's John Barnes, being a case in point. But because "Digger" was well-liked, even by opposition fans, there was genuine disappointment that Barnes was unable to take the silky skills he displayed for Watford and Liverpool to the world stage. To some extent, he was forgiven.
Not so for Ronaldo. By continually making himself unloveable, Rotten Ronnie is destined for ridicule when he, or his team, fails.
So, as Portugal bow out, it's goodnight from me, and it's goodnight from him.
