    Delighted for Portugal. It makes up for the Euro 2004 and the big loss from 4 years ago.

    It's been a poor tournament and one of the teams most responsible for bringing the standard of football down has won. Very disappointing.

    Disagree, they did the best with what they had. Great coaching.

    Well done to Portugal. France undone by a dodgy handball decision that caused Koscielny to get wrongly carded so he didn't have the scope to foul Eder before he scored.

    I must say that's a bit of a stretch in fairness.

    Says it all about the tournament that the eventual winners won just one game on their way to lifting the trophy.

    The important thing was they didn't lose any.

    If you look at the players generally French guys are taller and slimmer so you'd guess faster too, but Portugal was better tonight. Really happy they pulled themselves this way after that
    Also that goal was EPIC! Really good goal

    ****e game but fair play to Portugal they were well organised and worked their arses off. France disappointed, they didn't do enough and don't quite gel as a team.

    So happy right now. Thank you Portugal for the decent little sum of money coming my way.

    Delighted for Ronaldo. His haters must be livid. :D

    Just shows they didn't need Ronaldo after all. He really did have an average tournament.

    Justice you'd say. A victory for football, first the story of Leicester and now Ronaldo and his Portuguese brethren. The greatest footballer of his generation finally adds a major international trophy to his haul

    I doubt he'll think he's won anything as he wasn't on the pitch for 100 minutes of the game.

    Pepe is some animal....puking up there after the final whistle.





    He was obviously on the rip last night!

    Seriously impressive how you United/Pool fans always manage to start an argument in a thread.

    No one could beat them though all the same.

    Delighted for Ronaldo. 12 years after he lost the final, it looked like he'd never have another chance to win a championship for his country. Then when he was stretchered off, he must have felt so low.

    It's fitting for a great of the game to have eventually had success for his country, credit to Portugal for stepping up in his absence. The likes of Pepe and Nani deserve huge credit.

    Good start to the next season for Ronaldo after this and it will be another Ballon dor.

    Coman and Martial both poor enough, Pogba likewise though playing deeper than he'd like Payet was poor, Giroud was poor, Griezmann marked out of it.

    Portugal deserved it for their obduracy, Ronaldo going off may actually have been the best thing to happen to them - had to play compact and be more clever and patient


    Yeah, I mean like. Eight minutes on the pitch. Playing against an experienced defence 1 - 0 up and battling for their lives to keep it that way. You could write articles upon articles about his performance tonight. Awful show.

    Since when did winning on penalties not count as a win?
