England failed miserably in that competition too then Zid .... couldn't make the last 8

I presume all the English fans had already returned before the photographer arrived :-"

[quote="Zidane"]Well,this is it,the final match of the tournament.....Portugal v France,kick off 2am Thai Monday morning.

Zid has pretty well echoed my already expressed sentiments regarding both the participating teams and the tournament; so little left to be added.
I do agree with Statto, that Poland deserve an honourable mention. both the England players & their Manager; for maintaining the remarkable consistency of performance, of their predecessors, as demonstrated over the past fifty years :-"
After such a dreary few weeks of unfulfilled promises of interesting & exciting matches, at least tonight you have the option of rewarding yourself by watching a final match up , commencing at the sensible Thai time of 8pm, which is certain to be three hours of non stop world class action, between two world class opponents, totally committed to winning. I do , of course, refer to the WIMBLEDON MEN'S TENNIS FINAL!

=D> Of course, the mentally challenged, optimistic, masochists among you, are still welcome to join Zid & Statto in getting up at 2am, for the alternative final; at which time I shall be happily in bed, asleep.

8pm sounds like a VERY VERY good time to be "happily in bed, asleep" mat ....... couldn't think of many English sports more boring than the mens final at Wimbledon ..... apart from the shemale final at Wimbledon :-&

France 0 Portugal 1 (Eder 109)

A big shock as Portugal defeat hosts France and win the Euro 2016 final in Paris.
The occasion seemed to get to the French and they never really got going even after Portugals star man,Ronaldo,was carried off after 25 minutes.
Another dour match,although it was a sweet strike that won the game.....pity it didn't come 100 minutes earlier !
So Ronaldo limped up to lift the trophy and was arguably the star of the show with his animated coaching from the touchline after he was carried off !

This forum member made the post below on 28th June.Maybe worth contacting him for his lottery predictions for the 16th July ! $\:D/$

Portugal beat France with Khun Ronaldo stealing the show and lifting the trophy .. YEP PORTUGAL TO WIN THE TOURNAMENT

The EPL starts on Saturday 13th August and the next major football tournament is the World Cup in Russia in 2018.
Oh,btw,that "English" lad Andy Murray won the mens singles final at Wimbledon.

THE END

For all the accolades the EPL Receives I only noticed a couple of Spurs players and a couple of Saints players on show. There were however, a few Ex-EPL guys on the pitch, at least 2 of whom many on this forum had written off seasons ago! Go Figure, Oh yes! That other English Chap didn't do too badly at Silverstone either, albeit in a Foreign Car!

Come on DM, own up; you only tipped Portugal because the way the team played reminded you of Scunthorpe Utd ...on their off days!!
