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.

People get awful salty over Ronaldo being successful.

No it 0-0 1-0 aet

That's what the record books will say

Refs getting their medals.

Jesus. Some parts of the game today really are a load of cock.

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

Even then, "Koscielny wasn't free to foul" is a pretty weak argument. He still lost Eder

It was the curse of Terry that undone them in the end. Karma Electra is a bitch .

An odd game. I kinda wanted both teams to win.

Delighted to see Ronaldo lifting the cup, though.

Dunphy is philosophising, look out everyone!

SantryRed

The bitterness and trolling on both sides doesn't cease to amaze me. It's bloody another United-Liverpool thing regardless of the discussion. Forum is getting worse.

Anyways, delighted for Ronaldo. One of the greatest ever and i honestly never seen him winning a major international trophy after Portugal messed up in 2004 so happy he can get one. Very poor game though and I can't remember the last decent international final. Maybe 2006. Everyone is just too afraid to make a mistake these days. The finals are really getting worse.

Jelle1880

Really wanted France to win, and especially against Portugal.

But when Ronaldo had to come off and I saw the way Portugal adapted to playing without him, by sheer strength of will and organisation I can't help but feel not too sad that they won.

But the game itself kinda resembled the entire tournament imo. Next one back to the old format please.

People will still put Ronaldo down. Give it up for Christ's sake

Was a similar story 2 years ago with another high profile player iirc, despite a Golden boot!

We get the same "street football" malarkey from Dunphy after every major final.

Think I'll stop watching football again for a few years. Just can't stomach the systematic cheating and sanctioning of it.

Ronaldo is a great player.
Not near as good as Messi though.

And jumpers for goalposts.

You have to feel for Griezmann, losing two major finals back to back after having a great season and tournament, but missed chances in both finals which may haunt him.

Fantastic player, hopefully he comes back stronger next season.

I've no side on the United Liverpool argument anyway. I just love Ronaldo and it is beautiful to see him get this after all the abuse he gets on here and just in general really. Champions League and Euro 2016 all in one year equals Ballon D'or assured.

Well done Portugal. I honestly thought they were gone when I seen Ronaldo go off, but they came out with a great performance in the extra time.

Dunphy talking about the lack of great players emerging 'in the future'....in fairness he is some Clairvoyant.

Ronaldo has his international winners medal
Player of our generation? Yes

No it's not you could have put money on him taking down Eder if he hadn't received that yellow a minute before the goal.

However France should have put the Portuguese away before that happened and they didn't so they paid the price.

If that's the case then you can only talk about 10 mins of it in Ronaldo's case.

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.

Actually, no, its a draw.
Go to the bookies and try getting paid out on a Portugal win, as opposed to a "Portugal lifting the trophy".
