If Portugal decide to record a song to accompany their passage to Brazil, maybe they will consider borrowing something from the Millwall pantheon in honour of their captain. No one likes him but he doesn't care, for Cristiano Ronaldo is going to the World Cup, and Zlatan Ibrahimovic is not. On the day that the Portuguese newspaper Diário de Notícias reported that Ronaldo is set to open a museum in homage to himself next year on his home island of Madeira – with the help of his mother Dolores – Portugal's totem onceagain proved that there is brilliance beneath the…

16 Nov » TelegraphPortugal 1-0 Sweden
Advantage, just about, Cristiano. This was some way short of the high-velocity collision of twin attacking greats the slightly fevered build-up to the match had promised.
