Charming man.
Of course, we can’t really say C-Ron spat directly at the cameraman because the Winker might get all legal about it, but it’s fairly clear he spat in the cameraman’s general direction.
Okay, I’m sure the last thing you want after a loss in supposedly one of the biggest games of your career – not that C-Ron played like it; he was worse than terrible against Spain – is a camera up in your face, but still, it’s a crass and graceless thing to do.
Not that any of us should be surprised. It’s the sort of thing you would expect from a player who earlier I branded a “vainglorious sub-Guido c**t of epic dimensions” (on Pies’ Twitter, which of course I highly recommend to y’all!)

I can understand his frustrations a bit. He ain’t never gonna win sh*t with Portugal and that frustrates him to the bone. In 2004 he had a great chance with that golden generation. Generation being the key word there, such a large group of ridiculously gifted footballers coming together(Costa, Figo, Deco, Pinto etc) all peaking at the same time only happens once every 40-50 yrs or so. By then Ronnie will be grey and old telling his grandkids how Portugal were such a joke under his captaincy.
Btw, speaking of that Nike add, why the fuck was Ronaldinho even in it. Nike knew damn well he wasn’t going to the WC.
