Spain and Portugal played out the best game of the World Cup so far.And Ronaldo the relentless was the only reason Spain did not walk out of the game with a win.His hat trick brought him level with Ferenc Puskas for the most international goals by a European player.Among players from all continents, Ronaldo now trails only Ali Daei, who scored 109 goals for Iran from 1993 to 2006.
He had an unbelievable game.
Poor old David de Gea had a forgettable one.An uncharacteristic error on his part gifted Ronaldo his second goal.
But the third one,the free kick,was as good as Roberto Carlos’s famous free kick against France.
It wasn’t taken from so far out but he made the ball do more or less the same thing.Bend around the wall and leave the goalie standing.
Diego Costa scored two for spain but was denied a hat trick chance because he got subbed off in the middle of the second half.He will have words for his manager after that we can be sure.
