Ronaldo in 'spitting' storm

Portugal and Real Madrid superstar Cristiano Ronaldo has caused a storm after appearing to spit at a cameraman after his side's World Cup exit.

The former Manchester United winger turned to look into an on-pitch camera after Portugal's 1-0 defeat by Spain in their last-16 match - and then appeared to spit directly at the feet of the cameraman as he trudged from the field.

His actions are being seen as a petulant act of defiance after a World Cup of poor performances from both the team and skipper Ronaldo, with the only bright point being a 7-0 thrashing of North Korea during the group stage.

It is the second time that the 25-year-old has been embroiled in World Cup controversy. During the last World Cup in Germany he winked cynically at team-mates after successfully badgering the referee into giving Wayne Rooney a red card.

To me its no biggie, its just out of outrage. I think you'd do that if you were in his shoes. Oh, and by the way, I'm not a fan of his but its just plain human behavior when they're not satisfied.
