call it what you like, here no one believed in them, until they reach the final

Who said they wouldn't reach the final. Saying they shouldn't and them having a good chance are not the same thing. They had the easiest road. Look who was on your side of the draw. The winner was going to be Croatia, Portugal or Belgium.

Belgium was number 2 in the FIFA rainkings going into the Euro

Did you think that Portugal would reach the final?

FIFA ranking means jack shit.
Winner of this side of the bracket was always going to be the winner of Portugal / Croatia: why do you think both teams were so scared of the other one? ^^

If they don't mean anything, why where they ranked ahead of Germany, England and Spain? You actually need to earn that FIFA ranking, so they do have significance

Minus Germany, France's bracket wasn't that hard on paper either.

Portugal's bracket is not their fault. Would have been the same had they been first in their group. It's also not their fault that Croatia beat Spain, Iceland beat England, Wales beat Belgium, Poland tied Germany, etc.

Iceland, Austria, Hungary, Croatia, Poland, Wales
Romania, Albania, Switzerland, Ireland, Iceland, Germany

None of these two roads were tough. Yeah, France was in the bracket with all the heavyweights but they only played one of them.

So, since the 3d place side was known before the tournament started, and since Portugal's results gave them a 3rd place, it's deserved, right?

...


Edit: Hope we win tonight. It would be wonderful.

Also, it would be magical to spam rothen's twitter till he blocks me.
