Group B
Group B witnessed what many believe to be the best game of the WC so far, in Spain's 3-3 draw against Portugal while Iran and Morocco played out a highly defensive 1-0. Despite Diego Costa ending up scoring twice, he doesn't take the cake because of a certain Cristiano Ronaldo.
Ronaldo might have scored only 3 goals in all the previous World Cups combined, but this time he took the bull by its horn. One look at him, and you could sense that he meant business and answered his fans and critics with a sensational hat-trick.
The first two goals were not highlight material - a penalty and a howler from De Gea, but the third was as good as they come. Ronaldo stood several yards away from the ball, took several deep breaths and placed the free-kick perfectly on the top right corner, and followed it up with his trademark jump-in-the-air-and-point-to-himself celebration.
Seriously, how do you top this?
