Cristiano Ronaldo could have literally cooked his goose.

In yesterday's World Cup qualifying match against Ireland, the Portuguese forward received a red card and may face a severe suspension.

Having intentionally struck an opponent, the veteran is guaranteed to miss the final Group F match against Armenia, but that might not be all.

According to foreign media, if the disciplinary committee sees the sniper's action as extremely unsportsmanlike, he could face a longer suspension.

If Portugal qualifies for the World Cup, C. Ronaldo would be expected to miss the first match of the football fiesta.
