Cristiano Ronaldo Kicks The Ground, Falls And Shouts At Referee For A Penalty

Cristiano Ronaldo Kicks The Ground, Falls And Shouts At Referee For A Penalty

Two injury time goals from Cristiano Ronaldo gave European champions Portugal a memorable victory against Egypt at the Letzigrund.

Fernando Santos' side were on cloud nine for a total of three days, but the European champions have fallen flat on their faces this evening when they came up against a Netherlands team who failed to make any sort of impression on England last week.

Portugal were 3-0 down at half-time thanks to goals from Memphis Depay, Ryan Babel and Virgil van Dijk and plenty speculated that Gareth Southgate's side might even win the World Cup. *sarcasm alert*

It just wasn't Portugal's day and Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo summed up a disappointing performance when he literally kicked the floor instead of the ball.

He then proceeded to fling himself to the ground and appeal for a penalty. Even though it definitely wasn't a foul.


As you can imagine, Twitter reacted accordingly to the incident.



It just wasn't Ronaldo's night as Portugal prepare to make a real impact at the World Cup this summer.

Can they challenge?
