Yes, Ronaldo was booed at some points during the match but he received the biggest cheer during the team line-up announcements, the biggest reaction for his goal and a standing ovation when he left the pitch (for which he applauded the crowd). The reasons for the boos: he's ex Sporting and there were a lot of Porto and Benfica fans there who despite that only turned up to see the Portuguese world player of the year; there were a lot of Toronto fans there also - plus it's a running joke that Ronaldo likes being booed and crowds play up to it - it's just panto!

As for diving, look at the physical abuse he receives on the pitch – yes he dives sometimes but he’s on the receiving end of far more fouls (many unpunished) than he commits. Also, trying running at the speed he does, with or without a ball at your feet, and see how easy it is to be knocked off balance. Plus he runs slightly tipped forwards – great for ball control but it put him slightly off balance before any knocks or trips come in. Despite this, one of his major strengths is known to be his ability to use his physical strength, as well as his technical ability, to run past and through defenders.
