Ronaldo cries when he falls short of the high standards that he sets himself. England players like Bellingham, Rice & Kane go into denial and blame the media for criticising them. I rest my case.

[@AllCarsUnited]

He goes into denial by playing in our national team. That's the biggest denial and it will cost us " Portugal" another tournament. Portugal has won tons of youth European cups yet we're not using them. Use Spain as a example of what giving youth with fresh legs looks like

At least Ronaldo care for his team. Unlike england players not interested at all. He offer more to portugal than kane to england.

Kane has more knockout goals in the EUROs and WC than Ronaldo does despite Ronaldo playing far longer, he's also scored two more goals than Ronaldo in this tournement.

[@MANUTD4LIFE171]

If you watched the whole game you can understand why emotions got the better of Ronaldo. This guys carried Portugal and picked others up off the floor for years, yet he gets criticised the one time he shows vulnerability and it’s his team mates who come to his aide. If anything this show of emotion from Ronaldo galvanised the Portugal side in the shootout. There’s nothing wrong with showing emotion even if you are the leader and captain.

[@gajogrande]

I believe Portugal won the Euro final BECAUSE Ronaldo left injured. Everyone rallied around someone they admired. Something similar may have happened yesterday, even if penalties are often left to chance.

[@tritone11]

Ronaldo never cried like that about losing on the club level. And when he is winning with his country he looks genuinely unselfishly happy. Portugal means everything to him. To say his crying is ego is indeed mean. And incorrect. You guys simply can‘t comprehend what is driving this man. It isn‘t vanity.

[@realife1542]

[@garronkaramitas4215]

It's not jealousy! Ronaldo is a very greedy person/player. He throws his arms up in the air when a teammate has the audacity to shoot themselves. He takes all the free kicks even though he's useless at them and just go back to Qatar where his team scored but because he wasn't awarded the goal he was disappointed. Anyway i just can't fathom anyone who constantly defends this guy

Ronaldo was crying because he was feeling sorry for himself, he only cares about his own legacy and goal record. Why do you think he won't let anyone else take a free kicks which he keeps ballooning over the bar. Portugal need to move on from Ronaldo and give the new generation an opportunity.

[@KontryBoyz]

Criticizing Ronaldo for crying because he missed a key penalty and saying he was crying for himself, is akin to telling your son that he should not cry because thats a sign of weakness. What rubbish!!! Martinez might have erred in having him on the field for so long but please ....I bet the same isn't said about Messi who labour's around the field for Argentina just as much....

[@joek9743]

Some people are just more emotional than others. It wasn't done for attention or to make it all about him, it just came over him and he couldn't control it. He has a ridiculous amount of pressure on him to perform, not only from the whole of Portugal but also himself. If only the English players had a fraction the amount of passion and hunger that Cristiano has, maybe we'd get a half decent performance.

[@garywallace5602]

Let's face it, Ronaldo was in tears 'cos he knows he'll not score against France in the QF. It was basically his last realistic chance of scoring in a record 6 consecutive Euro's. He'd rather get the record and Portugal get knocked out by Slovenia, than miss and Portugal go through!

He’s been Portugal’s main focus for 20 years. His speed and killer instincts are mostly gone, and rightfully so at 39.

I do believe he would probably retire if Oblak would have saved his 2nd penalty.

I'm Portuguese too, I saw them win the nations League at the dragão, I saw them play Sweden years ago as well at the dragão. I however am not playing for our national team, why is that ?

He cried in 2004, 2006,08, 16, 22. The man never had problems to show emotions.

[@olaitancreativemedia]

What many people don't understand about the Cristiano tears was, the progress of Portugal to the quarter final was just been thrown away by that miss, and majority of the players on the pitch would have stay away from the kick when Ronaldo was on the pitch. Yes there were 15 mins to played in extra time both what happened to the full 90 mins played, Portugal doesn't win at full time and people believe they could still make it happened in less than 15 mins to penalty shootout which is anybody's game. So, Ronaldo knows what it means to the Portugal people and the players. Everybody have right to there own opinions

Pearce is a complete tool ronaldo had been dreadful the worst player on the pitch yet again ,passenger for 4 games all he cares about is scoring in 6 euros ,back to back tournaments this guy has stunk the place out ,the commentary was embarrassing last night the way they cream there pants over him when he was utter garbage

Merely crying wasn't the issue. It was the moment he cried like the game was over that was weird to me. I understand passion , but he needs to chill out. Whatever emotions he was going through at the moment didn't look healthy to me.

Alex crook as flip flop as a fish out of water, loved Ronaldo wen he was at united, soon as he left he's 'finished, selfish, arrogant' etc. Can't stand him, worse presenter on TalkSport by far.

Those who criticized Ronaldo are these experts who never play the game professionally, like this Alex Crook...Stuart Pearce, an ex international player understand the emotion. I remember Pearce missed a penalty in the shootout with Argentina in WC 1990 semi final.. it was devastating for him.. you can sensed the despair and tears in him, although he tried to control, but of course Chris Waddle took most of the blame because he was the last kicker. Then in Euro 1996, Pearce was brave enough to take a penalty in the shootout against Spain, and when the ball hit the back of the net, the whole stadium roared behind him.. Pearce punched the air and shout out loud... it was the monkey on his back that followed him for 6 years, finally put it down..

I must confess that I do regret singing "who let the country down? Stuart Pearce! Stuart Pearce!".
