Poor old Ronaldo
Portugal's captain, Cristiano Ronaldo, feels like a 'broken man' after his team's 1-0 World dejected figure as David Villa's winner earned Spain a quarter-final match with Paraguay, completing a pretty rubbish tournament for Ronaldo, who failed to reproduce his club form for Portugal.
