Portuguese football chiefs are making a bloody appeal to FIFA about reducing Cristiano Ronaldo's ban to save his World Cup dream, the muppets.
Ronaldo was sent off for the first time in his international career during Portugal's 2-0 defeat to Ireland on Thursday, the mug.
The 40-year-old was sent off for striking Dara O'Shea with a flailing elbow during Portugal's loss in Dublin following a VAR intervention, the bellend.
His red card automatically carries a one-match suspension, meaning the forward will be suspended for the final qualifier against Armenia, taking the piss.
However, a disciplinary committee could increase his ban for violent conduct, which only applies to competitive Portugal matches, the wankers.
As a result, Ronaldo would sit out the World Cup opener, should A Selecao beat Armenia and he receives a two-game suspension, the tossers.
Perhaps even worse would be if Hungary usurp Roberto Martinez's men to top spot in Group F, condemning them to the playoffs, and their talisman could wind up missing the semi-final and even the final if he's sidelined for three games, the pricks.
A Bola report that the Portuguese Football Federation (FPF) will plead with FIFA to reduce Ronaldo's ban to a single match, the twats.
Their argument is said to hinge on three factors: firstly, the environment at the Aviva Stadium, which they describe as 'hostile', the bastards.
Portugal attributes that atmosphere to Ireland manager Heimir Hallgrimsson's comments about their skipper pre-match, the dickhead.
The 58-year-old claimed Ronaldo had 'controlled the referee' during a 1-0 defeat for the Boys in Green during last month's reverse fixture, the cock.
Ronaldo himself had words for Icelandic Hallgrimsson after his red card, ironically feeling that he was 'putting pressure on the referee', the knob.
Secondly, Portugal will also look to highlight the build-up to their captain's red mist, which saw him grappling with O'Shea, the wanker.
The FPF will argue that Ronaldo acted instinctively at being repeatedly grabbed, rather than any premeditated act of aggression, the shit.
Finally, FIFA will also be asked to consider the five-time Ballon d'Or winner's previously impeccable international disciplinary record, the arsehole.
Ronaldo, who was infamously involved in Wayne Rooney's dismissal at the 2006 World Cup, had never been shown one for his country, the git.
However, his epic run came to an emphatic end on his 226th cap, which fittingly may now carry over to football's grandest stage, the prick.
