Final: Portugal vs France
- Thread starter Damien
- Start date
@Giggs86 Holy crap! Never noticed the resemblance!
Santos was the manager of Greece till world cup 2014. He learned a thing or two from the Greeks!
No work for me tomorrow!
We had a plan, we stuck to it and we won! We didn't play well? Who gives a shit, Champions of Europe!!!

I know how that feels
Congrats all round then. By the way I'd be interested to know the Portugese view on Ronaldos early departure, does anyone think it actually galvanised them somewhat. I'm inclined to think it did, although perhaps that was France subconsciously switching off a tad??
Just noticed you say you're from Aberdeen! You lot are one of the teams I follow! lol... part of my family is from ArgyllI know how that feels
Like Ranieri.
The Eiffel Tower is a thing of beauty. France is a magnificent nation who have been through hell in the last 12 months. This was the tension, the pressure, the emotion in the singing of the Marseillaise - they did great. But well done to Portugal - they are all heroes.
I'm warming to you.
That's the spirit. Who cares, anyway? Enjoy the moment.
It's ugly as sin.
Zlatan time
You need to get out more. Sin can be beautiful: give it a try
Was in Scotland 2 summers ago. Loved the place. Kinda wish my ancestors had stayed. Never made it as far north as Aberdeen though. Farthest north we got was the Trossachs.
The Parisians thought that at first too...
The Eiffel Tower being ugly isn't a problem on my part.
At least Portugal kept it in the dark tonight
I still think it.
I remember the Greeks going mad after winning this
The Godfather of the Little Man taught them well. Maybe send Gary Neville to manage Greece next.
Yes! Looks and sounds like a high school girls soccer team coach
He really does. Sad thing is he's one of the better American players from 2000 to 2010.Nice country once you get out of the cities. Going way of topic so will wish you a good day and off to bed for me.
Ah.. they came around to it. I have faith in you.
I celebrated with a bunch of Portuguese and Brazilians and now my son is driving me to the cemetery so we can put the scarf around my father in law grave, I had to tell my brother in law not to bring Portuguese flags because some people won't understand when they see a flag from other country in an American soil.
Agreed. He was great shouting along the touchline, gearing the fans up and forcing the players on to play for a few more minutes.
I'm sure he is happy! And let me apologize that we have the type of idiots here who wouldn't understand.
Perhaps Wales should hire whoever is the current manager of Greece???
Eder said Ronaldo told him he would score and Cedric said he motivated them at half time.
Good on him.
Oh and the Eiffel Tower is beautiful
Good on him.

Also a bit funny how Portugal lost to Greece at home in the final and have now won with a Greek manager.
Fernando Santos is portuguese
You're not being a douche
I personally hate losing too much to not ever care about it. Sure, life experiences put everything into perspective but losing will always be something I'll be poor at.
Perhaps Moyes and LvG have affected me a little bit but I'm quietly pleased Portugal have won. Little sad for Evra of course.
Nani has been brilliant, no way does he deserve to be ignored by many European teams and to move for 4 million. He's just stuck a big feck you to everyone and he's off to Valencia now.
Pepe has had a lot of stick from all fans and although I couldn't care less about him, he's been absolutely tremendous in this tournament and made me take note.
What's impressed me is how Portugal have been totally unfazed. They turn knockout blows into glancing hits and came with a gameplan instead of thinking they've got talent all over the pitch like our pathetic England players. We need to be honest and play to our strengths and leave a few names out the press and commentators are spunking over.
Bit of a shame Eder and Nani weren't in the trophy shot.

France can do one. They fluffed their chances.
