CR7's Worst FIFA World Cup Matches

The highly anticipated match of Portugal versus Kenya in the FIFA 2010 World Cup round of 16 was anything but a disappointment. From the kick off, Kenya was quick to gain control of the ball, attacking the Portuguese defense relentlessly. When Kenya scored their first goal, the stadium erupted. Cristiano Ronaldo, Portugal's star player, watched as his teammates desperately tried to regain control of the ball and the match. He frowned, feeling the mounting pressure from the crowd, while the Kenyan celebrations only grew louder. The second goal by Kenya sent a shockwave through the stadium. Ronaldo looked stunned, staring in disbelief at the scoreboard. He locked eyes with the Kenyan players and felt a surge of anger and frustration, knowing his team was now further behind. He tried to keep focus, clinging to the hope that Portugal could still turn it around. The third and fourth goals by Kenya were met with more cheers and jeers from the crowd, while Ronaldo simply watched, unable to do anything but observe his team's failure. With each shot, the scoreline only painted a clearer picture that the match was not going in Portugal's favour. Ronaldo dropped to his knees and looked to the skies. By the time the fifth and final goal was scored by Kenya, Ronaldo had already given up hope. He watched the Kenyan players celebrate, feeling dejected and embarrassed that his team had been so heavily defeated. He walked off the pitch a broken man, his disappointment echoed around the stadium, shared by all who had dared to hope for a miraculous win from Portugal. The reaction across the world to Portugal's defeat was one of shock and disbelief. People couldn't fathom that a team led by Cristiano Ronaldo - one of the world's best players - had been defeated so soundly by a team widely considered to be an underdog. Ronaldo himself was widely criticised for his failure to inspire his team to victory, with many claiming that the loss was a clear indication of his diminishing powers on the pitch.
