Fernando Santos' side provided fitting winners of a tournament that will not live long in the memory of neutrals for positive reasons.


Euro 2016 will be remembered as one of the poorest major international competitions of all time, so it is fitting that the Portugal side that claimed the trophy played in a manner that epitomised the tournament.
Dour, defensive and boring, Fernando Santos’ side ground their way to a 1-0 extra-time victory over France thanks to a fine goal from Eder that was out of keeping with what had gone before. It took them 80 minutes to muster a single shot on goal in the final, which was a bleak spectacle barely fitting of the occasion.
The sight of the Portuguese mustered behind the ball was a common sight in the knockout phase. Their fixtures against Croatia and Poland were among the worst of a tournament not short of monotonous matches, and Sunday’s showpiece was little better. Moreover, they shambled through the group stages with three draws against modest opponents they were expected to sweep away..... <<< read more >>> www.9jasportbet.blogsoot.com

@Op what re u even saying.

U re so competent in ur field of endeavor yet no one knows or has heard of u

Oga take a chill pill and celebrate with those that celebrate else u end up a mediocre specialized in criticizing champions.


Once again congratulations to Portugal, congratulations to the world best player CR7. The only man that assumes the position of a manager after injury. Haters oya commit suicide

Craze dey wori dis o.p, i repeat it again, quote me anywhere. You thinking dat defending is not a style of playing football or what? Let me tell you d other teams should be ashamed of themselves for going down to a team dat came out as best losers. And won only one game in regulation time. But also went on to win d tournament. And remember dat it will be recorded dat portugal won d first euro to was expanded to 24teams, where u would have to play 7matches to win d tournament, onlike d other ones wen u have to play 6matches. So portugal just set a record. O.p if u dont knw wat to say just shut up.
