French players look shellshocked but they didn't give enough.

I've got a horrible vision of Portugal 1-0ing it all the way to the trophy, exorcising the nightmare of Greece 12 years ago while Ronaldo then wipes his arse with printouts of people laughing at him missing that penalty in the group stage.

Nice one Portugal. I don't remember a less impressive team winning an international tournament, but I don't give a damn about the hype train that was France!

The problem is the structure. Allowing 3 teams to go through promotes negativity. Italia 90 was a dreadful world Cup for goals. Guess what 3 teams could go through.
Changing the format was a mistake. |

I'm sure he should have pushed Pogba more forward , but even in ET he seemed to be staying deep

Poor Griezmann, could have won the Champions League final and Euro final on his own but ends up with nothing. Brutal.

I'd be more than happy if England could do a 'Greece' or a Portugal'.

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

Well, congratulations to the worst Portugal side in years. You finally won something thanks in no small part to your goalkeeper.

Pogba, £100 million ? Surely not worth anywhere near that amount. He was a ghost tonight, he did nothing.
His talent was wasted to be honest , in that role . |

Well done Portugal. They're due one for consistency.

So when Greece won it was it the format of the competition that meant their brand of boring football won the day??

Respect for Portugal. I questioned the way they got here but, once here, they did a job on the French, after losing their star player after 20 minutes. If anything that setback made them stronger when they could have imploded.
France ran into a red wall and simply didn't have enough pace or imagination to break through, in front of their own fans. When they did, the woodwork or poor finishing denied them, and lets not forget - Portugal also hit the woodwork and had chances of their own too. I think Portugal deserved it on the night. If they deserved to win the whole thing is another matter, but in the previous 4 weeks the rest of Europe couldn't break them down. |

Despite their insistence on sticking with the 24 team format, surely UEFA will have to make some changes for 2020? A team who won one game in seven in 90 minutes,including finishing third without a single win in the group stage have won the tournament. There's going to be a lot of criticism coming thier way.

The Portugal team in Euro 2000 with Figo and Rui Costa were a much more fluid and talented team than this one, but won nothing. Just goes to show.

Feel gutted for France but they didn't do enough on the night. Can't believe Portugal have won though, they did hardly anything of note the whole tournament! Disappointing Euros
