Ronaldo re-named 'Superman'

Carlos Queiroz (the Portugal coach) has given Cristiano Ronaldo a nickname we're sure he'll love - Superman!

Speaking to press ahead of Portugal's World Cup campaign, Carlos admitted a lot depends on Ronny's form. "Cristiano is a champion and, as a player, is Superman!"

"In terms of his mental approach to the game, he is so strong and so confident. It has always been this way since I first started working with him as an 18-year-old. He has a champion mind. He is someone who has always been able to perform above the demands of the game.

"It is fantastic to work with a really special player in our squad, who has shown the world that he is a winner even before the tournament begins. And this also makes it easy to ensure his spirit and attitude rubs off on the rest of the Portugal players."

Portugal have been drawn in Group G alongside Brazil, Ivory Coast and North Korea.
