Awful game. Lucky winners.
Bit worrying they've reached the semis and been nowhere near their best.

As with Thomas Muller earlier, I hope that’s the last we see of Ronaldo. It is, he’s said this was his last euros

That's three hours of my life I'll never get back. I’ve watched both games and only stopped to eat a curry in between the two. And the wine of course.

Ronaldo doesn’t give a shit Portugal going out, all that matters is he scored.

Can't stand PKs...they never feel like a legitimate victory.

So France into the SF and only have three goals. Two own goals and a penalty. Nothing to fear here 🤔

Portugal were far the better team but they played with 10 men. They were ultimately punished for the ridiculous insistence on keeping Ronaldo on the pitch. It limited their play in so many ways. Martinez deserves to go out for that mis-management alone.

Portugal are a very decent side. Take Ronaldo out and they would be better. Impact sub not starter anymore. Should be the last we see him in a Portugal shirt but his ego and influence will award him the next World Cup probably. He’s not a top level player anymore and now a passenger.

Can't stand PKs...they never feel like a legitimate victory. How else do you decide the winner in a game like that? No one was going to score in that game if they were still playing this time tomorrow. I can’t think of a better alternative really and they’re fun for the neutral at least.

Shit game but Pepe is class. What a defender he has been and still is. He didn't put a foot wrong.

France will win it now, can see them defeating Spain just think their defence is too strong.
Then they're better than all of those on the other side of the draw.

Martinez deserves to go out for that mis-management alone. It’s one of the most bizarre things I’ve seen in football- Leao was ripping them multiple fresh arseholes but had nobody in the middle other than a middle aged bloke gesticulating randomly at space that either didn’t exist or that he’d need an Uber to get to. As a middle aged bloke sat on my fat arse on the couch with questionable BMI status and limited footballing ability how the fuck can I see it and Martinez pretends not to? Martinez bugs me nearly as much as Ronaldo with that fake thinking face - you’re carrying a passenger you gimp purely for their own personal glory

Can't stand PKs...they never feel like a legitimate victory. I love penalties. Horrible when it’s your team but I love the drama of it. I get nervous when I don’t even care who wins. There’s no way I’d be able to take one. I don’t think I could handle the pressure at Sunday League level. I remember playing in the year 7 cup final, I was last to take and at 10-9, the lad before me missed. I was absolutely delighted.

I didn't want Portugal or France to win last night so would have been disappointed whoever got through. I'm glad Ronaldo's gone home but I don't want the cameras to be focussed on Mbappe all the time either.
Not sure about today. I think the Swiss have looked much better than us so far but maybe we can bore them to sleep and scrape a win. Turkey-Netherlands is tricky to call but should just about be the Dutch.

The zooming in and slow motion captions of Mbappe were strange to say the least. As for England we've got to put in a good performance at some point haven't we and that needs to be today. Agree that Turkey-Netherlands could go either way but I'd be more confident in us facing Turkey should we get past the Swiss rolls today.

Maybe I'm going on past reputation there which is a mistake on my part. Beating the swiss is going to be tough ask unless we step up today, that much is clear.

'Supersimon', (above) is right. Actually Jonathan Liew seems to me the most entertaining, and usually insightful, football writer currently.
