    France - Portugal, Sunday evening football

    They don't deserve to have won this tournament, but they did deserve to win that match. So, you know, fair enough.

      Great goal to win it as well. His first ever competitive goal for Portugal.

      Ex-Swansea player so morally that makes Wales the winners right?

        Worst European champions ever. At least with Greece grinding it out you had the novelty of it being Greece. Portugal are big enough to be thought of as possibilities each tournament so to have won it playing the tournament in such a shite manner- bleh, bleh, bleh.

          It's pleasing how many international finals recently have been decided by late goals in extra time, thus avoiding penalties. Iniesta, Goetze and now - what was that fella's name? - Eder.

            Ronaldo with his top off there, making sure he'll be in the papers.

            I can only speculate on what's going on round EIM's round about now.

                          It's just a shame Deco couldn't have held on to be part of it all.

                            Why would you buy Pogba at all, based on his displays all tournament?

                                      Without the expanded tournament Portugal isn't in this final. But I have to say that this was a side prepared for the loss of its star since they had played the same style throughout the tournament.

                                          You cannot say Portugal didn't deserve it. But that they won it is a glaring commentary on the quality of the competition. The parallels with Greece 2004 are really striking.

                                          Euro 2016 has had a huge number of memorable moments, but very little great football.

                                            You can't be sure about that. Portugal knew that 3-3 v Hungary was enough. Under the old system they would have went for it more. They may have scored, they may have been countered, we don't know.

                                              As for France – jesus, what a bottle job. The Griezmann miss was the big one. If that goes in, they kick on and win the game.

                                              They did not muster a single half-decent attack in the 12 or 13 minutes that were left after Eder scored. That's incredibly damning. Everything was on the line in those final stages and they just didn't respond at all.

                                                  A great day for Guinea-Bissau. They've won the European Championship. With some help from Cape Verde, Angola and São Tomé & Príncipe.

                                                    So we can go only by what we know.

                                                    It seems appropriate that this mediocre, bloated tournament should have been won by a side that finished third in their group.
