    I'm a big fan of AndersonIsGod, but I imagine his night went something like this.

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


    Not the same thing. Winning on penalties go down in the history books as a draw for both nations. Tonights result will go down as a victory for Portugal.

    That Hungary game ended up being the most crucial game of the tournament as Portugal had to come from behind 3 times, otherwise they were out of the Euros.

    It's a 1-0 win for the record books, coefficients, world rankings etc.

    People get awful salty over Ronaldo being successful.

    Even then, "Koscielny wasn't free to foul" is a pretty weak argument. He still lost Eder

    It was the curse of Terry that undone them in the end. Karma Electra is a bitch .

    An odd game. I kinda wanted both teams to win.

    Delighted to see Ronaldo lifting the cup, though.

    The bitterness and trolling on both sides doesn't cease to amaze me. It's bloody another United-Liverpool thing regardless of the discussion. Forum is getting worse.

    Anyways, delighted for Ronaldo. One of the greatest ever and i honestly never seen him winning a major international trophy after Portugal messed up in 2004 so happy he can get one. Very poor game though and I can't remember the last decent international final. Maybe 2006. Everyone is just too afraid to make a mistake these days. The finals are really getting worse.

    Really wanted France to win, and especially against Portugal.

    But when Ronaldo had to come off and I saw the way Portugal adapted to playing without him, by sheer strength of will and organisation I can't help but feel not too sad that they won.

    But the game itself kinda resembled the entire tournament imo. Next one back to the old format please.
