Mario's statement sums it up. Anger at Ronaldo will be Man Utd's loss ! After all - in the football world they always say - Country First, Club second , although the Club pays the wages and everything else !
Why cant they accept a loss? The better team won the day - England can always try four years from now ! This is not the first time they were beaten by Portugal and that too in penalties ! They should have learnt their lesson at Euro 2004 and should have done their homework- It was Ricardo who stopped them at Euro and it was Ricardo AGAIN at the World Cup ! So who can you blame? - no use crying over spilt milk! Better luck next time - if they qualify !
