Scolari stands by Ronaldo
Luiz Felipe Scolari has defended Cristiano Ronaldo over Wayne Rooneys sending off and the never-ending diving claims.
The tournament has done little to improve the midfielders reputation as a youngster who would do well to improve his behaviour on the pitch.
There is talk that his antics have cost him a better finish in the Best Young Player Award, which was handed to Germanys Lukas Podolski instead. But Scolari said: "One of Ronaldos best characteristics is his dribbling. He is a very good dribbler. Just like any other players he sometimes falls down which is very common and natural. But he is not what every journalist calls him. He is not a diver."
