But the striking legend remains a hero in the eyes of his fiancee, Georgina Rodriguez.‌Throughout the tournament in United States, Canada and Mexico, the former Manchester United man has been fully supported by his wife to be. And after his country's devastating exit - as well as his retirement from international football - she moved to praise her star partner once again on social media.‌She quickly took to her Instagram Stories to share a supportive message. She reshared Nike Football's post which showed the striker side on with the caption: "His Legend Lives On."‌As the sports company said his story continues, Georgina simply added a red love heart emoji as she continues to praise his efforts. Portugal had been knocked out of the World Cup after a 1 - 0 injury time defeat in Dallas hours earlier.Ronaldo was in tears as his dreams were dashed by Mikel Merino. Ronaldo came close to equalising with the final kick of the game as Roberto Martinez‘s side tried to force extra-time. But he agonisingly missed getting a touch to Bruno Fernandes' free kick, meaning Portugal were dumped from the competition.‌Despite the devastation, he received no reprieve as the constant comparisons to Lionel Messi continued. After the Argentinian helped his country lift the Jules Rimet trophy four years ago, some were saying Ronaldo had to match that feat this time to stay in the conversation.ABC was scathing in its comments on Ronaldo's World Cup efforts, calling him "largely unnoticed" and a "shadow of his former self".‌As they listed his shortcomings, they said he was: "Lacking speed, dribbling and bite. At times, he didn't even seem to know what to do with the ball."His lacklustre performance wasn't enough to send him to the bench, which partly explains the meagre attacking output of a Portugal side that relied on him as its main attacking threat."Those close to Ronaldo are now gathering around the 41 year old to comfort the star who had broken records when he featured in his sixth World Cup. It comes as Georgina had regularly shared her pride of her man throughout the tournament.Article continues belowHe is yet to comment himself, but on the eve of the Spain game he shared a post saying: "For everyone. For Portugal," before saying it was the country's "time".He showed off his touching bracelet which featured the names of all of his teammates - including the late Diogo Jota who tragically died last year in a car crash.Like this s tory?
