Algeria eye revenge in first meeting with Austria since 'shame of Gijón' in 1982

Cristiano Ronaldo abruptly left a post-match interview after the Portugal star was repeatedly asked about Lionel Messi's goalscoring exploits at the World Cup‚ but did concede he had come through a 'tough week'. Ronaldo had seen his long-time rival Messi score a hat-trick in Argentina's opening match of the tournament against Algeria‚ before netting a brace against Austria on Monday. The performances were in stark contrast to Ronaldo's first as he and Portugal laboured to a 1-1 draw with DR Congo last week.

Cristiano Ronaldo fired back at his critics on Tuesday after scoring a brace and making history during Portugal's 5-0 win over Uzbekistan at the World Cup. Ronaldo has seen his eternal rival Lionel Messi light up the tournament so far - scoring a hat-trick in Argentina's 3-0 triumph over Algeria before both goals in their 2-0 victory against Austria on Monday. Those performances were in stark contrast to Ronaldo's first as he and Portugal laboured to a 1-1 draw with DR Congo last week.

The inescapable truth about Emi Martinez even as Lionel Messi steals World Cup headlines

The Argentinian broke down in tears after curling home a stunning strike to open the scoring just 17 minutes into the match. Messi‚ who turns 39 in a week‚ dazzled as Argentina tossed aside Algeria in a 3-1 victory in Kansas City. He had the ball in the net four times - his first 'goal' was ruled out for offside - and each goal reminded the world that he is still among the very best.
