Geneva: Cristiano Ronaldo whines like a toddler. He dives like a swan. He wears a perpetual smirk.

You just want to smack him.

But he's soooo good.

Ronaldo made a typically dazzling run that set up Portugal's first goal, struck a laser-beam drive for the second and dished off on a breakaway for the third in a 3-1 victory over the Czech Republic on Wednesday night, putting his nation in the quarterfinals of the European Championship.

And, of course, after he scored, he made one of those trademark winks with his right eye. The wink that says: ''Ain't I great?'' The wink he displayed after he helped get Manchester United teammate Wayne Rooney sent off from a World Cup match two years ago.
