World Cup qualification: Ronaldo takes too long from idiot to hero

From zero to hero – Ronaldo goes from idiot to hero too late

Group A

Portugal 2-1 Ireland

What a turbulent evening for Cristiano Ronaldo. Against Ireland, the Portuguese superstar is lucky in the early stages that he doesn’t see a red card for violent behavior leading to a penalty.

Ronaldo got the receipt anyway – he failed with his penalty against Irish goalkeeper Gavin Bazunu.

For Portugal, things go awry after a while: John Egan scored after a corner to give Ireland the lead.

When everything looks like a nightmare for Cristiano Ronaldo, this explains why he is one of the best strikers in history. He moved to the draw in the 89th minute and came back on the head with Portugal’s final attack.

Group D

France 1-1 Bosnia

Three days after the highly controversial dismissal at the Swiss hit game Basel – YB, top Swiss referee Sandro Scherer also received a red card from his back pocket in Strasbourg. He showed it to France’s full-back Jules Coundé, who committed a rude foul 50 minutes after the game against Bosnia-Herzegovina. From there the world champion only managed to hold a 1–1 draw.

group g

Louis van Gaal began his third term as Bond coach with only half the success. The Netherlands will play 1-1 against Norway in World Cup qualification in Oslo.

The Norway national team has been chronically unsuccessful. The last time Scandinavians participated in a World Cup or European Championship final was 22 years ago (EM2000 in Belgium and the Netherlands). But they have excellent individualists. The best of them, Erling Haaland, gave the Norwegian an early lead. Davy Klaasen equalized before the break.
