Since when did winning on penalties not count as a win?

Never mind that, there's people here who don't even count a win in extra time as a win!

Still unbeaten in competitive games under Santos - what a coach.

He'll be at Chelsea by Christmas.

Then it's an awful stat which proves nothing but Portugal are by far the fittest team.

Winners after extra time, like winning arter penos- not winning in regulation time

Greizzman gets the golden boot and Deschamps gets a boot up the h0le on his way out the door.

Portugal win as many games in 90 mins as both Ireland teams and win it all

In fairness, we reached a World Cup quarter final without winning a game

The same could not be said of Mark Clattenburg.

It's a good job they continued on after regulation time to find a WINNER then isn't it?

Mr.Nice Guy

People went on about Portugal being in the easy section of the draw, but France had a really easy path to the semis:

Romania
Albania
Switzerland
Ireland (with a week's rest to help them even more)
Iceland (in their first tournament)

They were outplayed against Germany and Griezmann got them home; with him having a sub-par game tonight, they were doomed.

Congrats Portugal on a deserved win.

Gotta laugh how the VIPS prefer to watch everything through their mobile screens, even as it's happening right there in front of their faces.

Surprised Portugal are bothering to collect the trophy, they are clearly gutted at this not really winning any games nonsense.

I say most are going by what the bookies pay out

~Rebel~

Obviously they 'won' every encounter that led to them going through to the next round - but its still a particularly interesting stat for a team to win only 1 match in 90 minutes through the whole tournament and become champions.

I'm delighted for them to be honest.

Bret Hart

Ballon d'or number 4 on its way,for CR7. Wins the CL for Real and now his absence has just gone and motivated his teammates too put in a monumental effort too win the Euros for him. What a legend of football and a inspirational leader.

point? they still won the game, and the tournament.

#Frexit.





Sorry.

Harry Palmr

The 24 team format meant Portugal got through with three points - that's just wrong whatever one thinks about the team or any of their players.

Get back to 16 (yeah yeah!)

whiskeyman

Papers probably go with "the two Ronnies"...,tomorrow.

Tears when injured....the tears of Joy..

Delighted for Portugal

Johner

Delighted for Portugal and Ronaldo. They weren't a one man team either, fair play.

Flint Fredstone

It's a f*cking win. We're not in Paddy Powers here.

gandalf

I'd say the Real Madrid management team are watching Ronaldo climbing those stairs and grimacing at each step he is taking.

Lavinia

Nice seeing the joy of them now :')

gflood

Match was poor from a football POV. But I am glad the tournament went without any of those ISIS d*cks trying to fluck it up

Wow. Irish class.

Ya must have such a miserable life for **** yourself with such things... Human nature is fascinating .

ArmaniJeanss

What the fcuk is this nonsense obsession with them only winning 1 game in 90 minutes? It's a 120 minute game and a win in 91-120 is as completely valid as any other.
It's a 1-0 win for the record books, coefficients, world rankings etc.

adox

Winning in extra time isn't winning. Lol.

This thread is ****ing bonkers.

Iused2likebusts

Delighted for Portugal have always had a soft spot for them. Small enough nation so it's a great achievement for them. Great to see how much passion Ronaldo has for his country it's what makes international football special.

I'm sure Danny Murphy said it was an understandable mistake during commentary too.

Not the same thing. Winning on penalties go down in the history books as a draw for both nations. Tonights result will go down as a victory for Portugal.

France were birootal, for all their advantages. Completely froze.

mansize

Congrats Portugal

Harry Angstrom

There won't be a cow milked in Portugal tomorrow.

Lavinia

So he did it (lift the trophy that is)

RobertKK

That Hungary game ended up being the most crucial game of the tournament as Portugal had to come from behind 3 times, otherwise they were out of the Euros.

Mr.Nice Guy

What a moment!

Drink it in!

Do you believe in miracles?!

Ronnnnaaaaalllllddddddoooooooo!

Johner

Clattenberg had a good game, one little mistake was all he made.
