Viva Ronaldo

Portugal just lit up Cape Town by hammering an unfortunate Korea DPR 7-0, and the Man of the Match award could go to no-one other than Cristiano Ronaldo.

His movement, touch, pace and skill are incredible, but what really stood out when watching him live for the first time was his distribution. He had a hand in almost every Portugal goal and could have set up countless more - his final ball was so often so perfect.

Dislikeable he may well be, petulant he definitely is, but on today's showing he went up in my estimation no end.

What a player.
