Cristiano Ronaldo says no ill feeling between Wayne Rooney and him  Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo has said there is no bad feeling between him and Wayne Rooney following the England striker being dismissed in Saturday's match.
Cristiano Ronaldo looked as if he encouraged referee Hector Elizondo to send off his Manchester United teammate after Wayne Rooney stamped on Ricardo Carvalho.
Wayne Rooney was seen pushing Cristiano Ronaldo away before he was dismissed but Ronaldo said: "Between me and Rooney, there is no problem.
"At the end we texted each other and between us everything's been cleared."
And Cristiano Ronaldo added: "The things that have been said regarding me and my team-mate and friend Rooney are incredible.
"He wished me the best of luck in the World Cup. He told me we had a great team and that if we continued to play like this, we would go far.
"He wasn't angry with me and, moreover, he told me to completely ignore what the English press has said, that all they wanted was to create confusion, but we are already used to that."
Cristiano Ronaldo says he is not to blame for Wayne Rooney's dismissal, although he appeared to wink at the Portuguese bench once the red card had been shown.
"I am not a referee and I don't have the power to send off a player," said Cristiano Ronaldo.
