[QUOTE=BuffaloBill;50687315]Moving the discussion about Portugal aside for a second, definitely agreeing with this. There were so many incredibly boring games.[/QUOTE] Agreed. This Euros has been shite with the exception of Iceland and Wales. Roll on 2018. [editline]10th July 2016[/editline] [QUOTE=AntonioR;50687320]No, Greece beat Portugal, the home team, TWICE; in the opening and in the final match.[/QUOTE] Greece won the final with their only shot on target. Luck.
Glory to the Old Country!
Reminder that the Iberian Peninsula has dominated football for the last 8 years Saying it was luck and undeserving is ignorant

[QUOTE=ElectronicG19;5068732]Greece won the final with their only shot on target. Luck.[/QUOTE] sure, and luck was playing their defense and was their goalkeeper too. there is more to football than offense.
Just going to leave this fact from the BBC live page here: [QUOTE]Portugal took until the 80th minute to register a shot on target, the longest wait for a team in the final of the European Championships.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=Gwoodman;50687337]Reminder that the Iberian Peninsula has dominated football for the last 8 years Saying it was luck and undeserving is ignorant[/QUOTE] Dominated? During the World Cup 2014 Spain lost 1-5 to the Netherlands and 0-2 to Chile, didn't pass the groupstage. Portugal lost 4-0 to Germany and drew USA 2-2, didn't pass the groupstage either. Spain won the World Championship in 2010, and the Euro Championship in 2008 and 2012. Portugal got knocked out in the Quarter Finals in 2008, in the Round of 16 in 2010 and got to the Semis in 2012. Spain is the one that dominated from 2008 to 2012, Portugal's results were as expected at best. 2014 both got stomped. Additionally, this championship they drew every group stage game (1 only because of an own goal by Iceland), passed through regardless because of Iceland beating Austria (if that had been a draw Portugal would've been out), vs Croatia was the most boring match in the past half century or so where both teams played mediocre at best, Poland was the better team all game (but failed to score) and Portugal didn't do jack shit offensively until near the end vs France. The only decent game they had was vs Wales.

GG Portugal.[/QUOTE] I'm just pointing it out to show how dull the game was. I had no stake in the match and to a neutral like me it was utterly boring. (If England had won I would be dancing around like the Portuguese no matter how we won too)
[QUOTE=Gwoodman;50687129]excuses, excuses at the end of a football match, the one with the most goals wins, no matter what happens CHAMPIONS WOO[/QUOTE] FUCK YEAH!
In France for a few days - there's only a mini riot a few hundred meters away from me as a bunch of Portuguese fans are rubbing salt in the French's wounds.

(If England had won I would be dancing around like the Portuguese no matter how we won too)[/QUOTE] Yes. It was far from a good match. But still, we were just praying to get a goal and to win. Apologies on my behalf sir.

(If England had won I would be dancing around like the Portuguese no matter how we won too)[/QUOTE] Every Euro/World Cup people say it's dull and disappointing because their expectations on who the victor is aren't met. If France had won, they would've deserved it, just like Wales, Germany, Iceland and the only team that didn't lose a game, Portugal.
The fucking roads are full of people waving flags and honking their horns. I've never seen so many people in the streets celebrating at once, and I live in a small town. Patricio didn't get nearly the credit he deserves, him and the defence worked their asses off to keep the game 0-0 for the first 90 minutes.
A win is a win, tbh the whole tournament has been an anti climax.
It's even worse near Lisboa amigo.The streets are LITTERED with cars and people partying,it's crazy.
My parents went to party in Lisbon. And I prefered being here with you nerds :joy:

fyi remember that things will be back to normal once world cup qualifiers start lol but the momentary happiness throughout an entire nation feels nice
[QUOTE=BuffaloBill;50687109][URL]https://www.theguardian.com/football/live/2016/jul/10/portugal-v-france-euro-2016-final-live[/URL] So fucking undeserved. Lucked out in every match except against Wales. Played some of the most mindnumbingly boring football as well, their match against Croatia was probably the single most boring match of the past 50 years.[/QUOTE] I don't understand. Are we here to play strategicaly, or goofball levels of plays that do more harm than good? Btw, 120 minutes and France couldn't score once. Did they deserve it? And I'm not even mentioning the dangerous game France did on us that apparently the ref didn't see.
I'm gonna complain because I lost frankly though, that match was boring as fuck wait, I just realized I'm the only flagdogged French defending France in this thread did everyone commit suicide while I wasn't looking ? I mean, I did hear explosions outside :v:
GG Portugal WE FUCKING WON YEAH :smug: [editline]10th July 2016[/editline] [QUOTE=CompanionMube;50687500]I'm gonna complain because I lost frankly though, that match was boring as fuck[/QUOTE] Yeah,it was more of a waiting game honestly.Still it was boring.But in the end we won fair and square and that's what matters.
