Pretty much the ending the tournament deserves, it's been pretty awful, and so have portugal

Don't think history will look back fondly on euro 2016

It was why I was rooting for Portugal.

Well done Portugal! They did what they needed to do to win.

Overall I think that Portugal have deserved to win this match .

Maybe it's time for Ronaldo to retire from international matches !?

They seem more of a team without him .

France got it all wrong. Wrong tempo. Wrong substitutions. Wrong, wrong, wrong

Unbelievable awful result for football
Football gets what it deserves.

The competition should never have been expanded in the first place.

Can't begrudge Portugal, defence has been solid since the group stages. They know how to play tournament football.

France were awful. Portugal lost their best player. It was an awful game but Portugal got a goal in open play. Their defence did a job.

Messi's nightmare continues. Lose the Copa America again, then this happens in Ronaldo's favor.

Agreed. They were so, so pedestrian and slow on the ball.

Football has gone full circle for Portugal and Ronaldo from 2004.

Well done Portugal - you couldn't say they truly deserved it but France got exactly what they deserved from the way they approached that final.

It was but no one will want it changed back now
Well, the countries of UEFA won't want it changed back now because it boosts their chances of qualifying for the tournament.

However, if UEFA has any sense of recognition of the flawed way the teams have been whittled down in this tournament, they'll surely change that particular part of the format.

It was as if France only begun to play once Portugal scored.

France were far from positive in this game. Not dynamic at all.

There's no right or wrong way to play, that's the beauty of football.

Pogba, £100 million ? Surely not worth anywhere near that amount. He was a ghost tonight, he did nothing.

Also he has been found guilty of fraud
