Don't forget MK Dons beat Man U and Man U beat Liverpool so MK Dons is better than Liverpool (:

Portugal in last Euro

Euro 2000 : semi-final (extratime)
Euro 2004 : final
Euro 2012 : semi-final ( penalty kicks)
Euro 2016 : semifinal or final

Not bad.
P.s. Portugual in Euro 2000 played a great football.

Portugal: Patricio, Cedric, Alves, Fonte, Guerreiro, Mario, Danilo, Sanches, Silva, Nani, Ronaldo.

Wales: Hennessy; Chester, Williams, Collins; Gunter, Ledley, King, Allen, Taylor; Bale; Robson-Kanu

No Pepe for Portugal

In any case, Portugal is playing awful so their loss can be fully explained be it today or Sunday. I wonder what would Germany's or France's excuses be?

Happy if either team wins tbh

I'm just hoping this is a better and more entertaining game than all of the Portugal ones. Except against Hungary they've been so boring and lacking a gameplan. The only clear idea I've seen from them was crossing 100 times against the physically superior Polish players.

I think RENATO SANCHES just made his 43rd failed pass of the game. Shocker of a performance.

Kommander

The guy is turning over everything. BTW he did made a dangerous through ball sadly no one went for it

by RealGunner Wed Jul 06, 2016 9:09 pm

Ronaldo equals Michel Platini's record for most goals in European Championship finals matches (nine).

by Lucifer Wed Jul 06, 2016 9:10 pm

Kommander

by RealGunner Wed Jul 06, 2016 9:10 pm

Nani 2-0

Ronaldo assist

by Perucho21 Wed Jul 06, 2016 9:12 pm

A goal and assist for KOMMANDER

We are unworthy :bow:

Ramsey such a massive miss

by VivaStPauli Wed Jul 06, 2016 9:23 pm

With how the match went so far, I can actually live with a Portugal win. Their least embarrassing and negative game so far.

Meh. Even though it's only Portugal, this is quite simply above Wales level, Ramsey would have made no difference.
It's pretty poor that a team like Wales can make the semis, really.

Why? There's glaring examples in many major tournaments of smaller, less likely teams going far. Greece in 2004? Brazil in 2014?

I can only see Portugal beating France or Germany on penalties if anything. They're significantly out classed by either team, I guess it depends what kind of shape they're in for the final as they have a much tougher game and one day less of rest.

by RealGunner Wed Jul 06, 2016 9:30 pm

While that might be true, Ramsey was the link between every part of the team from defence to midfield to attack. Allen has had an atrocious game while Bale is looking hopelessly lost. Ramsey would have made that difference tbh. Been Wales' best player at the tournament.

But Ronaldo is unplayable when he is on it so there is that

If ''A team like Wales'' is making the semi then they should be praised. The only poor things are teams supposedly better than them such as England and Belgium...

by Cruijf Wed Jul 06, 2016 9:42 pm

The amount of chances Ronaldo has missed this tournament is comical Laughing

by Hapless_Hans Wed Jul 06, 2016 9:44 pm

Yeah ok. Ramsey would have made a difference, agreed. Not enough of a difference though imo

by Godon Wed Jul 06, 2016 9:45 pm

He's missed chances yes, but just give the guy a break. He's most likely a shoe-in for the balon d'or at this point..

by farfan Wed Jul 06, 2016 9:52 pm

Why is Portugal's best crosser and free kick taker ( Guerreiro ) not taking free kicks and corners ? Laughing

by Doc Wed Jul 06, 2016 9:54 pm

Rui Patricio can take the free kicks and probably do it better than Ronaldo at this point.

by FennecFox7 Wed Jul 06, 2016 9:55 pm

And? Everyone missed chances, Ronaldo has proven himself to be a pretty good striker this euros. He's delivered when it mattered.

Interesting what his role is this tournament. He's a target man who actually holds up the ball very well. And he scores loads of goals. Dare I say his link up and passing has been excellent

One thing is for sure. He is a central player now.
