DR Congo Gets Its First Ever World Cup Point And Makes Ronaldo Cry
DR Congo made history by securing their first-ever World Cup point in a 1-1 draw against Portugal last night, and Ronaldo was so devastated by the result that he started crying at full-time.
Adding salt into the wounds, DR Congo fans were hitting ‘SIUUUUs’ on the streets of Houston afterwards:

Brutal stuff. You just know Ronaldo had visualised himself putting on an absolute masterclass in this game against an opponent that Portugal should be comfortably beating, especially after his arch nemesis Lionel Messi stole the show against Algeria the other night.
In the end though, Cristiano was completely ineffective, and at one point, even got in the way of what would have probably been a Bruno Fernandes goal. Thierry Henry summed it up perfectly – the guy plays too selfishly:
Really good analysis from Henry. This is the Ronaldo issue right now.

He's playing as a 9, but he's never been a 9 and he's not acting as a 9. Not giving Portugal those traits and it hurt them today. pic.twitter.com/yjSaOK2J5J
In the end, Portugal are getting what they deserve by refusing to play their best team in order to accommodate a legend who’s way past his best. A World Cup exit for Portugal seems inevitable, and you know what that means = more Ronaldo tears.
