LOS ANGELES, United States (AFP) — Portugal superstar Cristiano Ronaldo silenced his critics as he became the first man to score in six different World Cups on Tuesday, while England’s stumbled in their bid to reach the last 32 following their 0-0 draw with Ghana.
Ronaldo, 41, had come in for stinging criticism after a lacklustre display in Portugal’s opening 1-1 draw with the Democratic Republic of Congo.
But the veteran striker roared back to life with two goals as Portugal kick-started their campaign with a 5-0 drubbing of Group K rivals Uzbekistan in Houston.
