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

Did Messi do anything in the WC 2014 final?

Messi's career doesn't revolve around what Ronaldo achieves. Messi will still be remembered by the majority as a better footballer.

Deschamps' infatuation with Gignac and Coman is absolutely puzzling.

Can't believe that Portugal have won. At least it was without greasy gigolo Rolando smirking and sneering on the pitch during most of the game.
Not much sympathy for France they had it all, home advantage massive crowd support but they looked out of form, ideas and much interest until Portugal shot in the extra time winner. Gignac will have bad dreams about his off the post miss late in the 90 minutes which is what he deserves. |

I think they need to rework the group stages though, they have almost become pointless under this format. For a side to finish 3rd in their group, not win a single game in that group and then go on to win doesn't feel right.

I think France were found out a little tonight. Faced two 4th seeds at the L16 and L8 stage and were outplayed for long periods by Germany in the semi.

Well I thought they probably deserved it over 120 minutes...just. Fair do's to them!
And it was a decent goal to win it. And yay no penalties. So congrats to Portugal from a not too bitter Welshie! |

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.

Why is Mowbray comparing the Portuguese players to jellyfish?

Is the Portugal manager a bit miffed with Ronaldo?

They gave him player of the tournament, even though he wasn't even the best Argentina player there.

Portugal vs Austria a couple of weeks back, the commentator said "we're obviously not watching the European champions here", and I remember nodding my head in agreement. Football, eh?

The criticism should be directed at the teams that couldn't beat Portugal. If France can't beat a team that finishes 3rd in the group, then it's their fault, not the format of the tournament.
