Ronadlo makes World Cup

Cristiano Ronaldo's World Cup dreams are very much alive after his compatriots managed to beat Bosnia in the Playoffs, and qualify for South Africa 2010 at the last possible moment.

Leading 1-0 from the first leg, played on Saturday, Portugal were always the more likely to win the tie. Raul Mereiles managed to put this beyond any doubt with a well taken goal, to make it 2-0 on aggregate.

At the final whistle it was a jubilant Portugal side that had qualified, and means that Ronaldo will once again clash with Lionel Messi, Wayne Rooney, Fernando Torres et al in the bid to become a World Champion.
