EXCLUSIVE - MIKE KEEGAN:
FIFA could face legal action following their controversial decision to suspend
Cristiano Ronaldo's ban and allow him to play in
Portugal's first two
World Cup games. In a brazen move that has triggered widespread criticism‚ the governing body has taken the extraordinary step of suspending the final two games of a three-match ban issued to the 40-year-old superstar after he was sent off for elbowing
Ireland's Dara O'Shea in a qualifier earlier this month.
Ronaldo‚ a guest of president Donald
Trump in the
White House last week‚ sat out
Portugal's final
World Cup qualifier - a 9-1 thrashing of
Armenia - and is effectively now free to play for his country.
