    I don't follow, but I enjoyed the game, went to a nice pub for lunch and watched it. Not going to embarrass myself trying to provide commentary, but I can enjoy 0-0 games quite a bit more than a team trying to milk the clock and protect a lead. Lots of wasted chances it felt like, but defensively both teams seemed to play well and it picked up a bunch in extra time, before that almost every good chance was France's. Didn't care at all who won, just glad someone scored before they went to a shootout, which is a farce imo. I get that they can't let games go on forever, but how are you going to decide who wins a major tournament through something that has all but nothing to do with the sport.

    Sort of rooting for France, but happy for Portugal in the end. Commentators complaining about ugly football, but maybe I'm warming up to it, as I found it entertaining to watch. I did like France's fluidity in the previous games more than the 0-0 stalemate which Portugal seems to excel at. Still... it was exciting and there were plenty of saves and good shots. Everyone thought Portugal was cooked when Ronaldo went down... but they showed some mettle in winning it without him.

    France should have won they were more attack minded.

    This means that Sam Allardyce has a chance for the England job now.

    Mate, at least with Big Sam on board you won't get relegated from the qualifying group.

    Sam is in as England manager. He will do a job but was only chosen because Roy did very badly. Sam messed up West Ham for the last 3 months of the season. I did not want Bruce flat face to get it.

    Sam will start well and then lose his job after 2 years.

    Can't argue too much with that, although, you never know because Sam does drive a one for all team spirit which we saw in his other teams. That might be what England need to actually get to somewhere, and rather than choosing the best players he goes for the players that best fit the system.

    Kevin Keegan was going to do the same and failed miserably.

    Sam will do a job I just dislike his freindship with Jose, Alex and his hate for Wenger and Rafa.

    Anyway Russia need to be booted out of holding the next world cup and give it to us.
