Well so far, they've done as much as Ronaldo's Portugal. The former Manchester United star has become even more hated than he previously was. He stepped up in the 78th minute after winning a penalty for his side against Austria and hit the post. Twitter, predictably, exploded.
It was made better just minutes later when the Real Madrid man leaped to net a header - that was immediately ruled out for offside.
The schadenfreude was undeniable.

Raucous cheering in a square in Bordeaux as Ronaldo misses.

Ronaldo misses penalty. Paris bar in which I'm watching erupts in cheers and laughter.
