Ohhh cracking free kick but it never should have been given.

Lovely finish that. Didn't look like he had the angle to get it away.

Daylight robbery if Portugal win this!

If Hart was in nets instead of Patricio, Fra would be home n' hosed by now..

Come on France!

Pogba becomes the 8th person booked.

France have just over 5 minutes to find an equalizer.

WaspInWales · Post by **WaspInWales** » Sun Jul 10, 2016 10:28 pm

2 and a half minutes but there's likely to be a couple of minutes injury time.

Not looking good for France.

WaspInWales · Post by **WaspInWales** » Sun Jul 10, 2016 10:30 pm

Final minute and Portugal have a corner.

WaspInWales · Post by **WaspInWales** » Sun Jul 10, 2016 10:31 pm

2 minutes of injury time and I will be surprised if France can fashion a chance in that time.

Into the final minute of the tournament.

F/T Por 1 - 0 Fra.
Bravo.
Well done - 3rd. in Group.Defended well.
Found ways to win.

WaspInWales · Post by **WaspInWales** » Sun Jul 10, 2016 10:32 pm

Well, they did manage to create a chance but it's offside. That's game over.

WaspInWales · Post by **WaspInWales** » Sun Jul 10, 2016 10:34 pm

Wow. Have to say well done to Portugal but they were dreadful all tournament.

France shell shocked.

Ronaldo has his top off already!

1 win for Por. in 7 matches, at 90 mins....crazy stat.

Appropriate indeed. A horrible team won a horrible tournament. Last Euros I take an interest in for a while.

So, back to the rugger...

Rio summed it up for Fra. in the final - No Frust.

Good to see Portugal win their first trophy (?)

A tedious game, and tournament though. 24 teams is far too many (that used to be a world cup!).

I started out supporting France, because I didn't think Portugal were playing particularly well. But as the game wore on and went into extra time, I started to think I'd prefer to see Portugal win it, just for the sake of making a little history. I believe it is the first time they've won a major tournament. & home-team France just didn't deserve it in the end.

As for 24 teams being too many, I'm not sure I agree. Probably the main reason I got so interested in this year's Euros to begin with was the fact it featured teams like Iceland, Albania & Wales. The only problem with a 24-team format is it makes it too easy to get through to the second round.

Still, I think it could work for rugby, because teams like Japan, Georgia, Romania, Canada & the US would therefore having a realistic shot, & the success of getting through the group stages would raise the profile of the game in their home-countries. It was, in fact, the 24-team format that allowed African teams to first start coming through in the FIFA World Cup.

They need to go all out and make it 32 teams like the world cup if they want to keep an expanded tournament IMO. 8 groups of 4, top 2 through.

Part of the reason the football was so poor was that teams knew 3rd was probably enough and defaulted to defensive football.

Robson-Cruyff-Kanu's goal wins a BBC Sport poll for best goal.

It was good, top 5 for me but Shaqiri, Griezemann, Payet and Ronaldo all scored superb goals too.

Aye, and Canoe almost fell over the ball, Gera's goal was better too and that didn't even make the shortlist.

All the d*ckheads skooled by a young lad showing some proper sportsmanship. That little Portuguese lad is what it's all about.
The reaction of the Frog is just beautiful.
It's a shame we couldn't have some decent football in the finals. I was starting to enjoy the good teams working together as an XI.

I'm not really sure I get this, a grown man crying because his team lost a game of football, the little kid should have stamped on his foot.
