      It left fans with one question on their mind: what was Ronaldo chewing on?

      Ronaldo was caught red handed in the act, striking a resemblance to ex-Germany manager Joachim Low, who was prone to a public nose pick.
      The World Cup-winning manager was also famous for scratching his crotch and sniffing fingers as well as giving Ronaldo a snotty handshake.
      The legendary forward hit the headlines after his explosive interview with The Sun’s Piers Morgan saw him LEAVE Manchester United.
      Just two days later, the unemployed superstar opened the lead against Ghana from the penalty spot.

      It kicked off a five-goal thriller which Portugal were lucky to escape 3-2 winners in.
      Ronaldo made history by becoming the first player to score in FIVE World Cups – helping overshadow his bitter United exit.
      He said: “It was a week that finishes the chapter, it’s closed. We won and I could help the team – the rest does not matter.
      “This was a beautiful moment, my fifth World Cup, We won, we started on our good foot and it is a very important win.
      “The first match is crucial in these tournaments. The first player to score goals at five World Cups, this makes me very proud.”

      Wales were hoping to build on their improved second half showing in their draw with USA.
      Instead, Robert Page’s side were second best and deservedly beaten.
      Wayne Hennessey was sent off four minutes from the end of the 90 before the Middle East team took advantage by striking twice deep into stoppage-time.
      Firstly, Roozbeh Cheshmi beat substitute goalkeeper Danny Wayne from distance in the 99th minute before Ramin Rezaeian chipped home Iran’s second.

      Bale, who has so often been the hero over the years, wasn’t able to rescue Wales on this occasion and was left devastated by the result.
      He told BBC Sport: “We are gutted, there is no other way to say it.
      “We fought until the last second and we need to go again.

      “It is going to be difficult for us for sure. We will have to see.
      “What can I say? We recover and we have to go again.”

      Asked about Wales’ chances of progressing to the knockouts, the 33-year-old said: “It’s going to be difficult for sure. It depends on the other game, but we’ll see.
      “The red card changes the game completely. We let the first one in, and the second one doesn’t matter. We recover and we go again.”

      He is aiming to get off the mark this evening against the USA having failed to find the target in the Three Lions’ 6-2 group opener victory.
      It was feared Kane might miss the game with injury but he is fit and raring to go as Son knows.
      Son said: “Obviously, we’re good friends and I’ve spoken to him about what’s been going on.
      “He’s one of the best. He should be at the World Cup. He can show everyone that he’s one of the best strikers in the world.

      “I wish him all the best and I hope he wins the Golden Boot.”
      Son has had to win his own injury battle just to be at this World Cup having had surgery on an eye socket injury sustained in Spurs’ Champions League game against Marseille on November 1.
      It means he had to wear a mask in South Korea’s goalless draw with Uruguay on Thursday.
      Son said: “I’m not the only one wearing a mask. I’m comfortable, I’m happy that I could play with the mask on.”

      It was a game of few chances at Education City.
      But Son said: “Both sides are probably happy with the result. We could say it was a boring 0-0. But it wasn’t boring.
      “It was really intense. Both sides had their chances I think it was a fair point.
      “It was a tough game, the Uruguay guys probably thought they should win the game, but we fought, you could see we were fighting and probably we could get three points but they are amazing players.
      “But this is a good point and a fair point.”
      The best chance for South Korea fell to Hwang Uijo in the first half when he was found unmarked in the centre of the box but scooped the ball over the bar.
      Son said: “He’s the best striker for our team. I’ve missed chances, he’s the most disappointed in there. That’s football.
      “We don’t get many chances. We have to be ice-cold when we do, we have to finish. He knows that.
      “I’m not frustrated. He’s my team-mate, he’s working hard.”
      Next up for South Korea it is Ghana then Son will come face-to-face with the player he calls his idol in Cristiano Ronaldo in what could prove to be a crucial third and final group game against Portugal.

      Son said: “He’s still my idol. My role model. That will never change.
      “But the most important game for us is Ghana which is the next one. For me, personally and us, we need to look to that first.”

      Man Utd were right to axe Cristiano Ronaldo and Chelsea should NOT sign 37-year-old Portuguese star, says Danny Murphy

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED made the right decision to terminate Cristiano Ronaldo’s contract as it “suits both parties”.That is according to Liverpool hero Danny Murphy, who admits it’s a “shame” Ronaldo’s second stint at Old Trafford came to an end on such a sad note.

      United tore up the star forward’s £500,000-a-week deal after his recent bombshell interview in which he slammed the club from top to bottom.
      But Murphy claims the five-time Ballon d’Or winner can now find a new challenge that will allow him to continue playing regularly while the Red Devils can move on.
      The 37-year-old’s next destination is unknown as he is currently focused on Portugal and the World Cup, but Chelsea have been linked with a bid.
      However, Murphy insists the Blues should steer clear as they would inherit the same problems as United.

      The former midfielder claims Ronaldo wouldn’t suit Chelsea manager Graham Potter’s philosophy as he likes to rotate and thus wouldn’t start him on a regular basis.
      Speaking to Lord Ping, Murphy said: “I think that it’s a shame that it ended this way. We’re talking about one of the greatest players that’s ever lived, a guy that has been an inspiration to kids and footballers around the world by demonstrating what you can achieve through hard work mixed with talent.
      “He has done remarkable things in the game, and I don’t like the fact that he is leaving a club that he has had such an affinity with, in a negative way.
      “Hopefully, over time, he’ll be remembered for all of the good things that he did there and I think that will be the case. It is a shame for both him and the club. I think that it’s a decision that suits both parties. Sometimes things come to an end, and, when things end because of a breakdown, it’s very rare they end nicely.
      Most read in Football
      “I think it’s the right decision. He needs a new challenge and will want to finish his last year or two in the game playing regularly. Good luck to him. In an ideal world these things wouldn’t happen and would be dealt with behind closed doors.
      “I think over time it will die down. I don’t think it will be forgotten, but his success, goals and triumphs will be remembered as the overriding memory, not this incident.
      “For United, they can move forward now and put this to bed. They can concentrate on improving the young players they have and can bring in some new ones.

      “In terms of moving to Chelsea, I can’t see it. I think Graham Potter would inherit the same problems if he doesn’t play him every week, and Graham Potter likes to rotate.
      “In fact, he is a manager that never plays the same team every week. I don’t think Ronaldo would be too engaged with his rotation policy. I really can’t see it happening. I’d be gobsmacked if it did.” More
