Portugal have been denied entry into the World Cup quarter-finals after a 0-1 defeat at the hands of Spain, and Cristiano Ronaldo pointed the finger directly at coach Carlos Queiroz for the result.
Ronaldo found himself on the fringes of the action throughout the match as he, too, was very discreet, in an encounter where the Seleccao never did much to impose their will on the game.
After the match, Ronaldo refused to comment on the result, and told reporters to ask Queiroz for the reasons for the scoreline.
"How do I explain Portugal's elimination? Talk to Carlos Queiroz," Ronaldo said as he stormed out of the mixed zone, without addressing any other reporters.
