Portugal, led by Cristiano Ronaldo, was eliminated from the FIFA World Cup in the quarterfinal after a 0-1 loss to Morocco at the Al Thumama Stadium in Qatar on Saturday.
This was, most likely, Ronaldoโs last World Cup and the exit immediately drew reaction from several people on social media, starting with Piers Morgan.
โMorocco win. Heartbreak for Portugal but what a moment for Africa and the Arab world. And so well deserved - they were fantastic tonight,โ said Morgan.
