It's not that people are calling Ronaldo a dickhead because they don't like him. I like Ronaldo. But he's still a dickhead.

Mate, I beg to differ... He looks right down the lens then spits on the ground. The truth is somewhere between the article and your version I think... Regardless, he is a child.

Why the big fuss? It's not like he spat ON the camera or anything like that.
He took the defeat fairly well I thought, this thread is just full of people paying him out only because they don't like him.

What goes up must come down. Ronaldo is in for some hard lessons in life, the media and fans only love you until you stop performing then you are old product.

Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo has caused GLOBAL OUTRAGE in the aftermath of Portugal's defeat to Spain last night. Former Manchester United star Ronaldo sparked outrage when he SPAT towards a TV camera after Portugal's World Cup exit. The Real Madrid star angrily gestured at the cameraman to get out of his way as he left the pitch following his side's last 16 defeat in Cape Town. Ronaldo, who hit just one goal in South Africa, then spat in the camera's direction. Barcelona striker David Villa hit the 63rd-minute winner for Spain, who now meet Paraguay in the quarter-finals. http://g.au.sports.yahoo.com/football/world-cup/news/real-madrid-star-ronaldo-causes-global-outrage-in--fbintl_tribal-au-53204302a393d5bbffa396ad887eaef0.htmlGOT YA JOFFA!!
