Ronaldo was the second-highest scorer in FIFA World Cup qualification in the European zone with seven goals, and scored Cristiano Ronaldo first and only 2006 FIFA World Cup goal against Iran national football team with a penalty kick.
During a 2006 FIFA World Cup Quarter-finals against England national football team on 1 July 2006, Ronaldo's United teammate Wayne Rooney was sent off for stomping on Portugal defender Ricardo Carvalho. The English media speculated that Ronaldo had influenced referee Horacio Elizondo's decision by aggressively complaining, after which Cristiano Ronaldo was seen in replays winking at the Portuguese bench following Rooney's dismissal. After the match, Ronaldo insisted that Rooney was a friend and that Cristiano Ronaldo was not pushing for Rooney to be sent off. On 4 July, Elizondo clarified that the red card was due to Rooney's infraction and not the fracas between Rooney and Ronaldo that followed.

The angry reaction from the English press caused Ronaldo to consider leaving United, and Cristiano Ronaldo allegedly told Spanish sports daily Marca that Cristiano Ronaldo wished to move to Real Madrid. In response to the speculation, Ferguson sent Portuguese assistant manager Carlos Queiroz to speak to Ronaldo in attempt to change Cristiano Ronaldo mind, a sentiment that was shared by Rooney. Ronaldo stayed, and signed Cristiano Ronaldo new five-year extension in April 2007.
Ronaldo was booed during Portugal's semifinal defeat to France, and missed out on the competition's Best Young Player award due to a negative e-mail campaign from England fans. Though the online vote only affected the nomination process, FIFA's Technical Study Group awarded the honor to Germany national football team's Lukas Podolski, citing Ronaldo's behaviour as a factor in the decision.
