bless ronaldo

 

[Zvonimir Boban]

How? Didn't pretty much all of Europe qualify already? Will it be like 4 teams who don't make it?

Scotland will still miss out somehow.

 

[His Majesty]

Are ya'll looking forward to Euro 2020 that'll be played in 13 countries? Yeah, me neither.

WC 2018 in Russia
Euro 2020 in everywhere
WC 2022 in Qatar

dark times ahead

 

[MetalFearSolid]

Ronaldo is the King of Europe

 

[jungomitis]

Lifting the trophy. Two players usually take one side each and lift together. Bit too me me me from him there.

While I can understand why some people might not like Ronaldo. That's just simply not true

 

[Steve.1981]

I'm glad Hal Robson-Kanu's goal against Belgium won BBC goal of the tournament.

Meanwhile, Portugal's bus:

 

[Ennosuke]

Henry on BBC "You can't let the 3rd in the group to pass to the knockout stage"

The saltiness is amazing

Haha. Well why can't you beat them?

 

[Ragnite]

FUCK yes, we did it! So goddamn happy right now

 

[Lunafreya Nox Fleuret]

Well, this tournament broke many curses. I for one still don't accept Germany EVER beating us. Zaza butchered it for us so that doesn't count for me as a fan. Other than that.... it was a pretty crap tournament. I'm happy for Portugal I guess because it is the first time they ever win something so congrats guys. However, if it was an Italy- Port final, we would have won it. No question about it.

 

[sora87]

The kid is like 23 or 24. Pogba is not underrated. Im so sick of this bullshit narrative.

He's nowhere near worth 100mil though

 

[bone_and_sinew]

Are ya'll looking forward to Euro 2020 that'll be played in 13 countries? Yeah, me neither.

Completely forgot about this. Yeah I'm not gonna watch it.

 

[Jisgsaw]

There are 55 UEFA teams.

Including the fearsome Gilbraltar, San Marino and Faröe Islands, just to name a few.

32 at least makes the group stage had an edge.

Or one idea I read for 24 teams is to let best 4 1st place teams have a bye to Quarter Finals and rest of teams 1st and 2nd have to play extra round.

The current 4/6 3rd placed bullshit needs to go.

That actually sound not that bad.

 

[Big-E]

Really looks like Lloris was hurt on the free kick just before the goal and impacted his dive on the Eder shot.

 

[DeadlyVirus]

Especially Guerreiro, unsung hero of the Portuguese team.

Best thing is he was born in France

 

[Beefy]

So pleased for Fonte and Cedric.

We beat you. Deal with it.

 

[SuperSonic1305]

I like how whoever is facing Portugal never gets criticized over not being able to score but Portugal is called shit when they can't.

 

[Phantast2k]

 

[chadskin]

Is this true?

London will host the final and the semi-finals. All other matches are played across Europe. Yay!

 

[Uzzy]

BBC montage time, so good.

 

[CassSept]

Depends on who you support really. I'm sure the Welsh fans would disagree

Well, I'm from Poland so that was by far our best performance in a major tournament in over 3 decades and I'm glad about that, it's just a shame it had to be this year.

 

[Croyles]

did you feel the need to post this about all the other portuguese players who were celebrating but didn't play? this is about the entire tournament, and at least ronaldo was on the pitch.

Tbf, you of all people have no right to criticise unnecessary comments. But yeah, that was a dumb question lol

 

[Toxi]

Haha. Well why can't you beat them?

Because it's England.

 

[cLOUDo]

this needs Eder and Cristiano face
LMAO

erm... no

 

[Arnie7]

 

[Mory Dunz]

Now post the same for France. Oh wait, they didn't win.

All I see is CR this Ronaldo that, but at the end of the day Portugal played better without him. Imho he should take this opportunity and retire from the national team.

they played how they've played all tournament.

 

[roytheone]

I'm afraid we'll be poor for another two tournaments

We really have a terrible generation

 

[slash3584]

Especially Guerreiro, unsung hero of the Portuguese team.

I fear having Ronaldo on the team will make almost every other player an unsung hero, even if the star didn't perfom so great in this tournament.

Pepe, Rui Patricio, Fernando Santos and of course Eder should have bronze statues built tomorrow morning in Lisboa.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

Messi loses a final, retires from International football and gets a 21 month suspended prison sentence.

Ronaldo wins the champions league and the Euros.

What a time to be ballon d'or.

 

[Shambalakan]

Congratulations to Portugal and Ronaldo!
It's interesting that the champion of Euro 2016 was the third team of its group and only won 1 game in 90 minutes, against Wales without Ramsey.

 

[Rhaknar]

London will host the final and the semi-finals. All other matches are played across Europe. Yay!

What the fuck?

 

[Jisgsaw]

London will host the final and the semi-finals. All other matches are played across Europe. Yay!

Baku, really?

Given the cost for hosting a cup, I understand the reasoning for splitting it up, but at least chose countries that aren't halfway across the globe... (well, almost)

 

[Zvonimir Boban]

We beat you. Deal with it.

Everyone knows pens count as a draw

 

[~Devil Trigger~]

Well deserved win by Portugal

 

[jungomitis]

what is ironic is how Portugal won 1 game in regulation time in this tournament and was 3rd in the group stages ><

I have to say I think France just didn't show up today and threw away their chance at glory (no Ronaldo too basically all game)

 

[Lima]

Baku, really?

Did you miss the huge Azerbaijan ads during this cup? Money talks yo.

 

[dglavimans]

While I can understand why some people might not like Ronaldo. That's just simply not true

Thank you. The Ronaldo hate really is out of proportion. Hate the guy or love him but you cannot deny he loves en lives the sport, first time I saw the guy at euro 2004 as a little dutch guy in the match where he got kicked out.

Been a fan ever since, for me seeing him at a young age while he was like..18? He is and always has been the result of hard work.

 

[chadskin]

What the fuck?

 

[Phantast2k]

Spoiler

Dat jinx

 

[Rhaknar]

Just saw the goal again, that is a shockingly good strike. Damn son

 

[smokeandmirrors]

London will host the final and the semi-finals. All other matches are played across Europe. Yay!

so like a tournament in the US

 

[Shito]

Just discovering that 2020 bullshit... What in the fuck?
We should do just like the Eurovision: winner organizes the next one.
This way we would have a nice Euro in Portugal, in a nice country that deeply loves its football, and it would shield us from Greece ever wanting to win another title. ^^

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

London will host the final and the semi-finals. All other matches are played across Europe. Yay!

What the fuck are they doing?

 

[Black_Red]

While I can understand why some people might not like Ronaldo. That's just simply not true

It's all about those red shirts (at least some red in germany).

 

[pgtl_10]

They should fix being able to proceed with only draws on the group phase though, that isn't great.

My theory is eliminate draws. After 90 minutes play penalty kicks. No more draws in group play will force more offense.

 

[Omega Kirby]

Cristiano Ronaldo was right about iceland

 

[roytheone]

Baku, really?

Given the cost for hosting a cup, I understand the reasoning for splitting it up, but at least chose countries that aren't halfway across the globe... (well, almost)

Its going to be great when a team gets clearly fucked because bad luck with their traveling times.
