A heartbroken Cristiano Ronaldo launched a stinging attack on referee Jorge Larrionda after Portugal crashed out of the World Cup semi-finals courtesy of a 1-0 defeat by France.

Zinedine Zidane netted the game's only goal in the 33rd minute when he neatly stroked a penalty past Ricardo.

Larrionda's decision to point to the spot after Ricardo Carvalho had felled Thierry Henry in the penalty area was not hotly contested. But Ronaldo slammed the referee for not paying Portugal enough respect.

'We played well and did our best but the referee didn't help us,' the 21-year-old Manchester United forward said. 'Everyone who saw the match could see that the referee wasn't fair.

'He should have shown yellow cards but he did not because Portugal is a small country. We just have to carry on working and then we will be a big country.'



CRY LIKE A BITCH!!!
