France's Patrick Vieira falls onto the pitch as Brazil's Roberto Carlos runs past during their World Cup 2006 quarter-final soccer match in Frankfurt July 1, 2006.[Reuters]

Fans booed Carlos and called out that he had shamed the country.

The player needed a security team to leave the hotel grounds and take a taxi to the airport, where he will take a plane to Madrid. Carlos has played for Real Madrid for 10 years.

Brazilian press have blamed Roberto Carlos for Brazil's 1-0 loss to France, which led to their exit from the World Cup competition. Carlos's job was marking French forward, Thierry Henri, but when Henry scored his goal, Carlos was too busy adjusting his socks to tackle him.
