How can he be Captain?

He cries like a baby when Portugal got knocked out, not emotionally strong enough to motivate himself, what about the team?

Call me old fashion, but I'd rather my captain remain composed throughout the match.  Ronaldo was weeping but he wasn't captain so that doesn't bother me the slightest. If he was however, he has to keep his emotions in check for the benefit of the team. His players would all have been really down and he has to be the one to pick them up. If he is in tears, can you imagine what the other players that look up to him feel like? Shedding bucketloads is an emotional display that can show passion, but it can also come across as a display of weakness, and lack of composure, depending on how you look at it. It is in my opinion that captains be the first to congratulate their vanquishers and give his team a pat on the back, or a roasting depending on how they played.

Comparing Gerrard's credentials with Ronaldo's at this point, is a little absurd. Gerrard is no angel but neither was Roy Keane.
