Honestly, how is that not handball?

Great goal.

16 yellow cards and one red.

I’m watching the France game in a Paris cafe bar, but also have Portugal in the sweep. I think I’ll be the one heading away unhappy.

Pepe’s amazing really

That Martinez team talk bamboozled Ronaldo..... " did you know I played for Wigan and written a book "....

France really need to get f*cked. No goals from open play across all 5 games; defensive, boring garbage. They’ll probably win it.

Told my Swansea followers they'd need to carry me out of the cloob in a box just weeks before I walked out and joined Wigan.

I'm surprised at Martinez, buying into the whole Ronaldo legend thing, for me he's like a drag anchor on the Portugal team and I thought Martinez would have had the balls and intelligence to bin him. He missed a sitter last night, wasted every free kick he took and was too slow to hold the ball up or even reach it on most occasions. His ego and pandering to it cost Portugal their place in the semis, they would have won if they'd used one of the two decent strikers they had gathering splinters in their arse on the bench.

Just shows how gutless as a manager he is.

They have a natural finisher like Diogo Jota in the squad and he can't get off the bench.

How Bobby gets all these gigs is one of life's mysteries.

I did laugh at Sutton on the Beeb saying they're boring to watch when the team they most remind me of is England.

You know Martinez, he always has one eye on his next career move. If he ever wants to manage in Portugal, or be a pundit over there, or anything else, he cannot alienate Ronaldo and his cult.

Just look at what Ronaldo did to the coach who dropped him at the World Cup (for a player who scored a hat trick). They'd had a good relationship since Ronaldo was a kid at Sporting Lisbon, kept in touch regularly, now Ronaldo hasn't spoken to him since the World Cup.

Max ready for the England v Switzerland game.

 

[Swanjaxs]

I'm going for Switzerland today, not because of any anti-England hatred—it really wouldn't bother me if they progressed—but because Switzerland has a better, more balanced, and motivated side, in my honest opinion.
