Fans all say the same thing as images appear to prove Cristiano Ronaldo DID touch ball for Portugal goal against Uruguay
IMAGES appear to prove that Cristiano Ronaldo DID touch the ball and therefore score Portugal's opener against Uruguay.
Ronaldo wheeled away in celebration having appeared to get on the end of Bruno Fernandes' cross.
And the ex-Manchester United star celebrated so wildly that it looked a certainty like being his goal.
But replays were inconclusive and left many wondering whether Ronaldo had in fact scored his 100th competitive goal for his country.
On commentary, Ally McCoist said: "I guarantee after the game he [Ronaldo] says he touches it."
Despite umpteen looks from ITV, it was still difficult to see whether the 37-year-old had actually connected.

The goal was awarded to Fernandes, but certain photos suggest that Ronaldo did meet the cross and there was no clear gap between his hair and the ball.
Many fans on Twitter felt the same.
One said: "His hair touched it."
A second added: "You can clearly see in the picture that he did."

A third responded: "U decide for yourself, seems pretty clear that he got a touch."
A fourth said: "Course he did…the hair of god."
There was no debate about Portugal's second though.
After Ronaldo had been withdrawn, the 2016 Euro winners won a penalty.
And Fernandes took over penalty duties, coolly converting from 12 yards.
That strike sealed the win and Portugal's place in the last-16.
