    Portugal were the more composed and organised side especially after Ronaldo finally limped off .. a situation whereby when the star leaves the stage, the other actors come to the fore ..
    France were over anxious in front of their own fans, strange for such an experienced team.
    So another upset and proof that it's not how you start, it's how you finish .. Portugal were awful in the group stage, excellent in the knock out .. and what a tremendous goal to win it with ((:>)

    To be fair, Pepe was probably the player of tournament. Every game I've seen him play he's been a rock, even if he is a massive prat.

    To be fair on Pepe, a lot was made about how he'd be at the Euros after his play acting with Real Madrid but I dont remember seeing any of those theatrics from him this competition

    I suspect the players and coaches/managers were read the riot act by officialdom before the tournament started .. any monkey biz playtime and you are OFF OFF and OFF

    Cracking goal but a very poor game.

    Funny how the media picked holes in Ronaldo's antics on the touchline last night, but I thought if one of our players was doing that I would be impressed. Yes he may have been after the limelight, but I don't think so that was proper passion and a captain doing his bit.

    Well done Portugal.

    Is this something kind of joke?

    England oldest ally mate. Goes back over 900 years and the Anglo-Portuguese treaty is the oldest active treaty ever.
    You'd want our oldest enemy France to win over them? Learn some history!

    Well done Portugal. Glad they beat what I personally find to be the most rudest and arrogant nation in Europe.

    I love that you have visited a country and found it rude and arrogant, compared to all the other countries in Europe. I hear that France thought you were lovely. They'll be so upset.
    The French are so arrogant, they probably go around singing, "no-one likes us, we don't care". In fact they're so arrogant they probably sing it as, "personne ne nous aime, nous ne soucions pas"! :wink:

    Practically ended up assistant manager last night, good on him, you could see how much it meant to him, and he's on the shelf for 4-5 months now because of it

    Once Ronaldo went off, the pressure on Portugal lifted, they had their excuse for an unlucky defeat, robbed of their best player.

    For France, who where already the favourites, the pressure ramped up even more

    Sums the tournament up. Crap final.

    Commentators were right at the start of Extra Time.

    Just WHEN did we last have a good Final... For me was maybe either 2002 World Cup or Euro 2000!!
    Nothing comes close to the Play off final 98 .....

    The real let-down in the Final was the lack of any game-turning Clattenburg moments. It was England's big chance to screw it up for everyone else and our man bottled it horribly.
