Portugal players arrived back home to a
depressing welcome after a dismal World Cup, with no one even bothering
to collect star player Cristiano Ronaldo from the airport.
The
Portuguese fared only slightly better than England, claiming four
points to finish third in a group containing Germany, USA and Ghana but
still being eliminated before the business end of the tournament begins
in Brazil.
Ronaldo also
failed to live up to his billing as the best player on the planet -
after struggling with injuries ahead of the tournament he returned to
spend most of his games pouting petulantly at teammates before scoring
his now customary single World Cup goal (in the final 2-1 victory
against Ghana).
