Aye, but now the hunt is on for a new manager for Portugal, which shifts the focus away from events on the pitch (the WC Qualifiers in September) and onto the "exciting" hunt for Scolari's replacement.
It's true, though, helping Portugal to success in WC 2010 would be a huge notch in the belt towards being one of the best.
With regards to the club level -- perhaps not, but there's still the character that needs some work. Going to a less-successful club and enduring the team struggles that Man United don't face too often can only be beneficial for a player the likes of Ronaldo. He's 23 and has the ego to go with it, give him a club with some hard times and help to take him down a peg or two. Hell, the best move he could make would probably be to PSG at this point
