I love Ronaldo and Portuguse for all thier die-hard efforts to win the games. But, little disappointed with their over-acting.

It definitely rewared them by sending-off Rooney, but I think that they lost to France and Germany becasue of such over-actings. There were several instances when they could easily control the ball and even score, but they simply faigned like they were fouled most of the time and then seeked attentions from the referees. I feel that the referees at the last two matches did not considered foul against them even in some serious cases becaue of the portugueses faiginign behaviour.

I agree with you, although other coutries like Italy and France are not too far behind Portugal when it comes to feigning. I have about 10 videos of Materrazi alone acting and seeking attention from the refrees.

anyways, feigning apart, i am pretty sure that C. Ronaldo is going to be another star of soccer, there is no question about it. the young gun is just 21 yrs of age and has at least 12 years of football career ahead of him. He is going to make it a real big, i am pretty sure.

Loote

that's not possible unless he changes of over-faigning behaviour: He needs to earn sympathy from football fans around the world and football officials including referees.

"..., although other countries......" right, but Portuguese are far ahead.

i mean Portugal far ahead ("....other countries not too far behind.....": OK), but this makes a lot of differences.

I saw Materazzy's video on youtube, his past was full of violence, and over-acting, obviously.

See how he kicked ot the shoulder of the opposite team just before falling down near the D-area.
