bad news for everyone who despises watching Pepe flop around after barely being touched, after performing a dozen dirtier tackles earlier in the match.

 

[Nathaniel Skywalker]

Portugal has a better mid.

Pepe has been one of the best CBs in this Euro.

Pepe has been one of the best CBs in this Euro.

he's always been great, just easy to dislike.

It's been 40 years since the last finals penalty shootout, so I say we're due.

You are correct, I sometimes remember the 1996 final incorrectly as ending in a penalty shootout but golden goal it was.

And somehow, it's kinda like a Real-Atlético rematch...

 

[Bon Esprit]

The big question here is the french defence. IF Portugal can create pressure on them this could be interesting. If not the french are going to win this IMO.

Overtime possible, pentalties even more possible.

Overall this EC was a disappointment. 50% of the CL round robin games use to be better.

With a few exceptions the players look exhausted.

 

[Ceremony]

I'm fully on the "see Penaldo drag his shower of no-hopers to a trophy" bandwagon. The hilarity it would cause on the internet is too much to pass up.

 

[Turtleneck Plek]

I feel this game comes down to Pepe, somehow. I see him either doing something stupid and getting his team in trouble or shutting down Griezmann. Hope it's the former.

It very likely will be the former. He's famous for it at this point

 

[Scandale du Jour]

I hope Pepe makes a fool of himself.

 

[takk]

Nah, Pepe will be solid.

 

[Hadoop]

About to head out to watch the game, but before I do... Allez Les Bleus!

 

[Bure80]

Sad to see this final as a german. If France was the better team ok but...
I will cheer for Portugal because of Guerrero.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

There is a serious moth issue at the stadium, wow.

 

[Jersey Fresh]

Why is Taylor Twellman commentating this final? The worst.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Allez les Bleus!

Good game to all of you my friends.

 

[Blender]

Hoping for a France victory.

 

[Shrimper]

Hoping for a France victory but not that bothered either way.

 

[TMLeafer]

Don't really have a favourite among these two teams, so hoping for a very exciting back and forth final!

 

[Cassano]

2-0 goals by Giroud

 

[Panteras]

I like Portugal's chances here to be honest.
