Despite winning 2-1 against Ghana's National Team, Portugal was knocked out of the World Cup on Thursday (Portugal tied against the U.S. Team 2-2, and the U.S. also beat Ghana 2-1, and while both the U.S and Portugal lost to Germany - Portugal lost by a greater margin, 4-0, while the U.S. was defeated 1-0).
This image of Cristiano Ronaldo was taken after he scored the winning goal against Ghana. It displays Ronaldo in a great body language teaching moment, for he is showing contradictory nonverbal behavior. While his elevated clapping is a very conscious and a universal MAP (Manipulator, Adaptor, Pacifier) & Emblem of approval, his mouth and mid-face (though we can see less than half of it) are conveying two negative emotions - primarily that of regret and to a somewhat lesser degree disgust. These facial components are entirely subconscious driven.
Whenever there is a disparity between conscious and subconsciously directed nonverbal signals - it is the subconscious ones which represent the person's true emotions.
