UEFA have promised to investigate comments from Belgium players threatening to harm Manchester United's Portuguese winger Ronaldo.
Portugal's FA president Gilberto Madail has asked them to look into comments from Belgian keeper Stijn Stijnen, who plays for FC Bruges.

Stijnen said ahead of Saturday's European Championship qualifier in Lisbon: "After two minutes we will have massacred Ronaldo so much that he will have to leave the pitch on a stretcher."

When asked later to explain his comments, the keeper added: "If we try to play like Portugal then we will lose. We are the visiting team and have to be aggressive."

The threats follow a weekend of controversy for Ronaldo, who was subject to 'cheat' jibs from the Middlesbrough bench at Old Trafford after he won and scored a penalty that took United into the FA Cup semi-final.

Meanwhile, UEFA's control and disciplinary body were meeting today to discuss possible violation of safety at Lille's Champions League match against Manchester United.

well sayin that if we didnt need him as much as we do id say let it happen i still cant forgive him after the world cup

[united4ever]

UEFA sould punish the guy for making such terrible comments, just cos a player is so good doesn't mean you should injure him !!! It's totally out of order !!!:mad:

[Bartmu]

what a crap, they're just afraid of him

[ad12]

Threats should never be expressed in the media. Its a shambles and I hope he gets heavily fined

[ad12]

Also must have worked well he scored 2 goals and they werent in the 1st and 2nd minute

[mightymanc10]

Forgive him for what? FFS grow up, he didnt do anything to get Wayne Rooney 2 get sent off. Why do the English not take the fact they are not good enough? You's are using Rooney as an excuse for getting put out of the world cup when it was the players not playing well made you's lose the match. England have great players but they are all too greedy they cant play for each other.

Hey Red Dec7, get a life and stop looking for a scapegoat for Englands dismal performances at the world cup - stop reading and believing the rag you english call a newspaper, namely the sun. Do you honestly believe a wink got rooney sent off? Truth is he stamped on someones nuts through frustration of the team playng so ***** - anyone with half a brain knows that, incuding Rooney himself!!

[redmaster]

Excatly my point. The English news papers are always lookin for a scape goat for why the didnt win the world cup, Rooney this time 98 it was Beckham.. who's next?

Why cant they just take it they wont win the world cup with them players playing every game. Steve McClaren/Sven Goran E where/is afraid to drop the likes of Lampard and Gerrard even thou they are terrible together.

Englands best time imo would be:

Foster
G.Neville | Ferdinand | Terry | Bridge
Lennon/Beckham | Hargreaves | Gerrard | Dyer
Rooney | Owen/Johnson

I think they would get a lot more success with that kinda of team, beacuse Lampard is the biggest over rated English player i've ever seen.

Redmaster, point taken about keeping it friendly. No offence meant to Red Dec7.
