Greizzman gets the golden boot and Deschamps gets a boot up the h0le on his way out the door.

Portugal win as many games in 90 mins as both Ireland teams and win it all

In fairness, we reached a World Cup quarter final without winning a game

The black arm went up. Well spotted by Giles.

The same could not be said of Mark Clattenburg.

Winners after extra time, like winning arter penos- not winning in regulation time

It's a good job they continued on after regulation time to find a WINNER then isn't it?

People went on about Portugal being in the easy section of the draw, but France had a really easy path to the semis:

Romania
Albania
Switzerland
Ireland (with a week's rest to help them even more)
Iceland (in their first tournament)

They were outplayed against Germany and Griezmann got them home; with him having a sub-par game tonight, they were doomed.

Congrats Portugal on a deserved win.

Gotta laugh how the VIPS prefer to watch everything through their mobile screens, even as it's happening right there in front of their faces.

Surprised Portugal are bothering to collect the trophy, they are clearly gutted at this not really winning any games nonsense.

Then it's an awful stat which proves nothing but Portugal are by far the fittest team.

I say most are going by what the bookies pay out

~Rebel~ · 10-07-2016 09:45PM

Obviously they 'won' every encounter that led to them going through to the next round - but its still a particularly interesting stat for a team to win only 1 match in 90 minutes through the whole tournament and become champions.

I'm delighted for them to be honest.

Bret Hart · 10-07-2016 09:45PM

Ballon d'or number 4 on its way,for CR7. Wins the CL for Real and now his absence has just gone and motivated his teammates too put in a monumental effort too win the Euros for him. What a legend of football and a inspirational leader.

BBC glossed over Clattenberg's fcuk up

#Frexit.

Sorry.

Harry Palmr · 10-07-2016 09:46PM

The 24 team format meant Portugal got through with three points - that's just wrong whatever one thinks about the team or any of their players.

Get back to 16 (yeah yeah!)

whiskeyman · 10-07-2016 09:46PM

Papers probably go with "the two Ronnies"...,tomorrow.

Tears when injured....the tears of Joy..

Delighted for Portugal

Johner · 10-07-2016 09:46PM

Delighted for Portugal and Ronaldo. They weren't a one man team either, fair play.

Flint Fredstone · 10-07-2016 09:46PM

It's a f*cking win. We're not in Paddy Powers here.

gandalf · 10-07-2016 09:46PM

I'd say the Real Madrid management team are watching Ronaldo climbing those stairs and grimacing at each step he is taking.

Lavinia · 10-07-2016 09:46PM

Nice seeing the joy of them now :')

gflood · 10-07-2016 09:46PM

Match was poor from a football POV. But I am glad the tournament went without any of those ISIS d*cks trying to fluck it up

ArmaniJeanss · 10-07-2016 09:47PM

What the fcuk is this nonsense obsession with them only winning 1 game in 90 minutes? It's a 120 minute game and a win in 91-120 is as completely valid as any other.
It's a 1-0 win for the record books, coefficients, world rankings etc.

adox · 10-07-2016 09:47PM

Winning in extra time isn't winning. Lol.

This thread is ****ing bonkers.

Iused2likebusts · 10-07-2016 09:47PM

Delighted for Portugal have always had a soft spot for them. Small enough nation so it's a great achievement for them. Great to see how much passion Ronaldo has for his country it's what makes international football special.
