Ah, Cristiano. Never change. Having seen his Portugal side drop points to Iceland - a country whose entire population is the equivalent of 0.787% of Ronaldo's twitter followers - Ronaldo threw the mother of all strops, complaining that:
I thought they'd won the Euros the way they celebrated at the end, it was unbelievable.
When they don't try to play and just defend, defend, defend this in my opinion shows a small mentality and are not going to do anything in the competition.
We could point to a Champions League final two years ago in which Ronaldo responded to an inconsequential penalty goal by ripping off his top and flexing his abs in the kind of vainglory that the man has trademarked, but that may be small-minded of us.
We talked of Ronaldo's fundamentally hilarious comments in our daily Euros podcast, along with the return of host Conor Neville from the Euros western front, who offers a dispatch of his experiences among Irish fans in Paris. He explains why Irish fans have added the ™ to The Best Fans In The World.
Ladbrokes Bet of the Day
Speaking of Cristiano Ronaldo's vainglory, our indulgence in our unprecedented success in landing two bets in a row ultimately hoisted us, as Hungary's shocking of Austria and Iceland's stubbornness consigning us to a loss for the first time. Undeterred, we troop on, and we are going for a double this afternoon (eagle-eyed listeners may hear us tip a treble, but Russia are currently losing 2-0 to Slovakia, so save yourself while you still can). We are tipping Albania +2 against France, plus a draw between Switzerland and Romania. Ladbrokes are offering odds of better than 5/1, so now's your chance.
