Georgina Rodriguez cracks a smile in stands despite Cristiano Ronaldo being AXED from Portugal XI for World Cup clash
GEORGINA RODRIGUEZ was seen smiling in the stands during Portugal's World Cup clash with Switzerland - despite her partner Cristiano Ronaldo being dropped from the Portugal team.
She was seen in the Lusali Stadium wearing a black dress and jacket while holding a luxury handbag.
Georgina had a shock when she arrived at the stadium as Ronaldo was named on the substitutes bench after he was replaced in the team by Goncalo Ramos for the last-16 World Cup clash with Switzerland.
It comes after Ronaldo's falling out with manager Fernando Santos.
The boss subbed him off against South Korea and the 37-year-old appeared to sulk muttering under his breath.

Santos revealed that he was unhappy with the 194-cap star saying: "Yes, I didn’t like it, not at all. I didn’t like it. I really didn’t like it."
Ronaldo has netted just once at the World Cup so far, converting a controversially won penalty in the 3-2 victory over Ghana.
He believed he had scored another but Fifa awarded the goal against Uruguay to Bruno Fernandes as they deemed that Ronaldo had not touched it.
The former Manchester United man continues to make the headlines since his explosive interview with Piers Morgan that led to him departing Old Trafford.
Ronaldo is currently without a club but has been heavily linked with Saudi Arabian side Al-Nassr.

Meanwhile, his long-term girlfriend Georgina has been enjoying the sun in Qatar.
The 28-year-old relaxed on the beach before taking their children to the stadium for the previous game against South Korea.
Prior to the big match tonight versus the Swiss, she posed for photos in the dessert and Ronaldo met up his partner a couple of days ago as Georgina posted snaps of them cuddling.
