Former Arsenal defender Martin Keown compares Cristiano Ronaldo to “an NFL basketball player”

BBC co-commentator Martin Keown found himself trending on Twitter last night – and not for a good reason.

The ex-Arsenal centre-back became a figure of fun after getting his American sports muddled during his commentary on Czech Republic vs Portugal.

Keown said Portugal star Cristiano Ronaldo was “like an NFL basketball player” with the height he gets on his jumps.

The Real Madrid man eventually dived into the endzone with a two-pointer that sealed a semi-final spot for his franchise.
