With the World Cup just a few days away (FINALLY!), Portugal’s national team is finishing up their training this week in New York at the Jet’s practice facility.
So what happens when a futbol star tries to throw around a football? Well Cristiano Ronaldo gave us a glimpse, and the results were interesting to say the least.
Contrary to popular belief, not everything that Ronaldo does is beautiful. Credit the soccer star though, while he didn’t look comfortable tossing the pigskin he didn’t look completely helpless either.
The Jets tweeted out this picture of receiver David Nelson teaching Ronaldo how to throw a football for the first time.
