poll Euro 2016....Who will you be supporting??

[AndyM]

I love this time of year. Weather it's the euros or the world cup, I'll watch any football (soccer) Unfortunately, as a Scotsman I've not had my home country to support since the world cup in France 1998

Today see's the kick off of Euro 2016 and as a Scotsman it is even worse as every other home nation has qualified, England, Wales, Northern Ireland and Ireland. Normally I support whoever is playing against England but, I think I have finally grown up and developed a respect and appreciation for England. This being said, it means in no way I'll be supporting them and cheering their goals but I wish them well.

I would like to see Belgium do well but I would be very happy to see Spain win the competition....

Who will you be supporting?

Pepe... a great defender. Well done, you deserved to be nominated...

Another big thank you to our goalkeeper, discreet, and unassuming, he made 6 or 7 great saves today, to help Portugal win this trophy.

After a long wait the Eiffel Tower finally changed the colors from the French to the Portuguese colors.

It's as if the persons in charge of lighting up the Eiffel Tower were so sure that France would win, that they left the Blue and White colors on, when they were supposed to show the winning Red and Green,

Maybe they were just pissed off, or maybe it was sheer arrogance

Portugal ain't afraid of no France... not no more

 

[GILSAN]

Thanks also to all those NP'ers that participated in this thread, especially

who has been a great supporter of Portugal right from the start.

I'm watching TV right now and some French Fans are being so bloody arrogant and aggressive against the Portuguese fans.

I can just imagine if France loses today.

Just what I imagined.
Riot police used tear gas and water cannon as violence erupted outside the Euro 2016 fan zone at the Eiffel Tower during and after the game ended.

LOL... Awkward moment that a France 'VICTORY BUS' is spotted hours before their Euro 2016 defeat.

Portugal didn't deserve to win. They didn't deserve to pass the group in the first place...

On Paper,you will expect France to win but against all odds,Portugal scored a goal and that gave them the win.Overconfidence blindsided the French team as the goal wasn't a penalty but a well-taken shot from Eder.It is better to play badly and win than play well and lose then blame bad luck.They had more than 90 minutes to play as well.

Football has it's beautiful moments and this one shows the true character of the Portugal Fan:

Patricio as best goalkeeper? What?

Patricio as best goalkeeper? What?

There are lots of great goalkeepers and Rui Patricio is one of them. He played a brilliant game against France. He also played more minutes (720) at EURO2016 than any other player.

In yesterday's Cock fight, the French Rooster was beaten up by the Portuguese Rooster.

WINNERS - PORTUGAL

 

[AndyM]

What a great tournament. Hope you all enjoyed it as much as I did. Portugal were definitely surprise winners, qualifying as a third best placed team out of the group stage, a penalty shoot out with Poland, only winning one game in 90 mins. The poll only showed 7 votes for Portugal, 19 for Germany and 13 for England!!! Well done if you picked Portugal.
