Euro 2016 - The Final - Portugal vs France, 20:00, RTE, TV3, BBC, ITV

Portugal seem to be playing more as a team without you know who.

Looks like they left the floodlights on overnight in the empty stadium last night - that's why there's so many moths about the place.

I know. But it would be more interesting game with a player of his calibre in it.

God, Sanshis was blessed that Payet didn't go down there.

Nani loses the ball a lot. Very slow to pick a pass.

when you're as good as Payet you don't need to go down to win games.

As a neutral we need a goal from France to open the game up. God help us if Portugal score first.

If Portugal win, we'll all say they were inspired by Ronaldo.

If France win, we'll say Portugal lost their talisman.

Either way, you lose.

Doesn't seem to have improved in that department at all.

Disagree, in the other 6 games, they played as a team in all of them. Solid and very hard working.

No winners in this game, my friend.

Sissoko is playing the way Mourinho thinks Pogba plays.

Ronaldo trying to get back on bless him

Was that Ronaldo trying to come back on ?

This is just gash.

Needs the ref to step up to spark a France win here. I'll go for Pepe

Jas Payet must be hugely disappointed.

Bit more pace from Coman.

If France score Portugal will fold. Which itself will hardly improve the game. I'd rather see France chasing it.

Somehow I never thought I'd see a major final where Sissoko would be the most dangerous player.
Is Guivarch up top for France?

tayto lover

Cedric is a very good footballer. Very fast and tenacious in the tackle.

dfx-

game is a due a shot target in the 56th-ish minute I think. One shot on target from Sissoko since Griezmann's header in the tenth minute.

Very like the Poland v Portugal game, an early frantic start before Portugal 'assert their control' and everyone settles for penalties midway through the second half.

Edit: There it is...griezmann's shot

That and the fact that Nani is captaining a team in the final of a major international tournament. Nani!

Karma caught up with him and he got kicked and it's because he used to dive, and he started crying and left the field like a pansie and he's cheering on France now and its all karma innit :pac:

I think Stephane must be the worst player with a World Cup medal.

Could we go straight to penalties, please.

Yeah. But he grew a beard and changed his name to Giroud.

This game needs a goal to liven things up

Hardly a shining advert for "the beautiful game", is it?

This is almost as bad as Portugal vs Croatia.

The attacking play has been poor BUT the defending has been excellent. I like watching good defending having been one myself. Goals don't always make great games.
