That kind of refereeing is something that we Portuguese fans are accustomed to, against Brazil it was the same. Ronaldo spent the entire WC being shoved, tackled and so on. |
everyone sawe what spain did to ronaldo when he got the ball fairly, pushed over none of the ref's spotted it, and the other time players diving with no portual players being at fault, I really feel for all supporter's of portugal right now, I really feel like they could have easily won if spain had not cheated so much and the ref's got their act togetherUnlucky result for Portugal. Comiserations mate.
I get the feeling it's a "boy who cried wolf" syndrome with Ronaldo. He's somewhat known for going down a bit too easy so the referees probably ignore him, even when the fouls were blatantly obvious as they were vs Spain. I mean, he got fully man-handled in that game!
As for the fake red card, I personally think players that behave that way should be banned for 3 matches minimum. Acting to get another player sent off is disgraceful behaviour no matter what level of football they play at.
