England sucking their way to the final in the weakest side of a draw ever being outplayed by teams ranked in the 30s and then losing is going to get Southgate (the highest paid international manager on earth) extended so we can go out in the group in the World Cup where on paper we have the most chance of winning since 1998 or 2002.

Lolz.

Mexico win a last gasp penalty. Looks weak.

VAR called him over. Hopefully it's overturned. It is a CONCACAF ref, after all.

No penalty and Ecuador advances with Venezuela. Mexico is out.

 

[trostol]

weak penalty if called

 

[Jack Straw]

Mexico out. Wow.

Portugal - Slovenia going to extra time was not on my bingo card

 

[FLYguy3911]

All the big countries sans Spain and Germany, for the most part, have been disappointing this tournament. Says a bit about the depth in Europe though I guess.

Penaldo stopped! What a save.

Ronaldo is crying, commentators saying that it's because "it" means so much to him. What's that, exactly? Portugal advancing, or claiming another individual record (oldest goal scorer at the Euros)?

Ronaldo in tears at halftime

Love the support the teammates gave and give Ronaldo. Great to see. Team game

What a soft twat. I don't mind men getting emotional at times, but surely round16 penalty miss vs fecking Slovenia ain't it

Slovenia doesn't concede much; they've pretty much perfected the Hakshell.

Knockout stage is usually when team defenses bear down.

It's not that surprising, even if Portugal was a heavy favourite.

Fair, but I still thought they'd manage to get one across the goal-line in 90mins

It does seem a bit early for the waterworks

Wait till you miss in the shootout and lose, then it's OK to blub

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

On my, Sesko.

What a mistake by Pepe.

 

[FLYguy3911]

You can have him @BigToe

 

[ellja3]

This was a good day to (accidentaly) have a 2hr powernap during the day

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Ronaldo's revenge.

Diogo Costa is having himself a world class 15 minutes. Rare to see a penalty shootout shutout.

 

[Curufinwe]

My stream froze literally a second before Ronaldo took his penalty

 

[Chinatown88]

This guy might get beaucoup bucks for this 15 min run.

 

[ellja3]

Well that was anticlimactic

 

[Jack Straw]

Amazing

 

[Starat327]

The 70M we were reportedly quoted for Costa just went to 100M

Ronaldo literally crying after his missed penalty when there was still 15 minutes left to play has to be one of the most pathetic things I've ever seen in football.

The day he left United so I could hate him is one of the greatest days in sports for me
