Even with a World Cup final on the horizon, Cristiano Ronaldo still manages to make headlines in the British press.

The Portugal midfielder crashed out of the tournament a week ago, but now the Daily Mirror have the exclusive on the star's... toenails. As he was snapped with his nails painted in ''a bizarre gothic-style'' - or black to everyone not trying to sensationalise everything.

A brilliant quote from ''an onlooker'' describes the situation better than we ever could: "It looked pretty odd, he was the only man in the pool wearing nail polish, probably one of the only men in New York."

One thing is for sure: it's not bruises from all the goals (one) he's smashed in at the World Cup.
