A victory for decency , pastel de natas and the blood of Christ
Not really. England were lucky.

Slovenia a great defensive side but their strikers are crap. They had the chances in the game. Fair result

Sesko is valued at around 60-70m euros . Good season in Germany

Built like a steakhouse, handles like a bistro
So more than a red card then. Capital offence?

Oof, thousand-yard stare at the ground, that's a lot.

Wow....That one on one is going to be hard to get over. I don't think he took a pen in the end either?

Tbf he is very young and this team doesn’t play to his strengths . He has just signed a new contract so see how he develops .
On the other hand Pepe at 41 (?) looked great .

Like most people, I’ve come to view Ronaldo as a 90% + cunt (after he left Real Madrid of course 
). But the photograph of him crying I saw on the BBC website after he missed the penalty during extra time showed a man so thoroughly soul-destroyed, I couldn’t bring myself to go all ‘Ha Ha!’ on him.
He is burdened with a massive ego, arrogance, and often selfishness on the pitch, but I reckon when he’s playing for Portugal at least, such behaviour is mostly motivated from his wishing to do the best for his country.
I’m pretty neutral on Portugal’s fortunes, but I found myself rooting for him when he scored his shootout penalty and wishing Portugal would go through so the earlier missed penalty wouldn’t be the talking point of them going out. I guess it’s silly for me to feel genuinely sorry for someone earning a hundred million quid a year or whatever it is he gets paid, but I guess I’m getting soppy in my dotage.

Plenty of matches have been anything but, though. It’s mostly been those involving England and France that have failed to deliverYou could have the whole tournament over in 2 days if you just had the penalty shootouts instead of the boring shite beforehand.
