Cristiano Ronaldo really doesn’t help himself, does he?

After Iceland, population 330,000, caused the upset of Euro 2016 so far by holding out for a heroic 1-1 draw against one of the pre-tournament favourites. Ronaldo chose to swerve the magnanimous route and enhanced his reputation as primadonna of the highest order.

‘Iceland only tried to defend… they had two chances and then did not try to score,’ Ronaldo said after the game.

‘They celebrated like they had won the Euro cup or something. That’s a small mentality. That’s why they’ll do nothing.’
