European Finals.

There ARE other teams(we'd have no-one to play otherwise) and here's where all-comers can discuss the wider world of football......

No way sorry Portugal are out, but for me, the player of the tournament has gone with them. Renato Sanches was immense every game and involved in everything. He never stopped running and his skill with positioning and distribution was a major factor in everything good. Terrific player.

Caught my eye too. But he's limited in that last night he was up and down and all over the pitch and clearly that sort of player but he wasted the ball a bit and didn't seem to really know what to do round the box. Arsenal supposedly interested in him.

Portugal were dead in midfield at the start of the tournament until Sanches came off the bench. He was the best thing about that side and when I saw he was starting I thought Portugal would win that one.

They're out, but I'd love to watch him at Arsenal next season if that interest is concrete.

Might have to start revising my expectations for Spain. They are much better than expected.

Spain gave a masterclass to 3-1 up, and now it's 3-3 and extra time.... :shock:

fecking love football

Spain are not good. Croatia are average and shot themselves in the foot for two goals. Morata is so so bad

Spain are superb going forwards. I will be happy if England score half the total goals Spain manage in the tournament.

They’ve scored 10 in last two. Come on they are exciting going forwards suddenly. Need to score goals and they have. Let’s hope England can do the same. We will see.
