Ronaldo does it his way

Cristiano Ronaldo has clearly been borrowing some of Wayne Rooney’s hair product, judging both by his smooth new hairstyle and his ultra slick performance against the Czech Republic in which he stamped his mark on this tournament.

Ronaldo’s performance was breathtaking at times, also hitting the woodwork twice and guiding his team into the semi-finals with energy and desire.

It was a real achievement, and a real big moment in Ronaldo’s career given the way international football has treated him since he burst onto the scene in 2004 and lost an agonising European Championship final on home soil against surprise package Greece.
