portugal started off slow, but that last ten minutes proves very productive not only is that man top scorer in the finals, but it's the first time a team has scored three goals in the last ten minutes of a game too!
and this was all after the hungarians thought they'd shocked the champions, alas he was half a yard offside
0-3

christian ronaldo has overtaken michel platini's euro goal scoring record, and it is now TEN goals in the finals He's also a few goals away from Ali Daei's national team goal record.

Yeah, it was offside but that was special from Mbappe.

Well, despite the best efforts of VAR, they still won.

Could easily see a France vs. Portugal final again if they don't meet in the knockouts.

Well, after one round of matches what have we learned? For my money, despite being 3 years removed from the 2018 World Cup I still see some similarities, in that I think we have...
- France and Belgium as the best 2 teams
- Very little sign of a surprise package, apart from *maybe* Czechia if we're being generous?
- Everybody else looking various degrees of decent with a handful looking downright poor.
Plus ca change! If anything the biggest surprise so far was Italy looking so good on the opening night and Turkey looking so crap.

France look very strong and played some great football last night despite two goals disallowed. They are definitely the team to beat. Portugal, Italy & Belgium look like the big contenders for me at the momentā¦.and maybe England.
Spain need to start scoring goals no matter how much possession they have. Morata is capable but not consistent. Germany look toothless. Croatia maybe a tournament too many for them. Netherlands look fun to watch (Maggle) but canāt see them actually winning it.
Surprise team maybe Slovakia? Bar a lapse of concentration at the start of the 2nd half they looked solid against Poland and Lewandowski barely got a sniff.

Tonight in "football predictions that precede unfortunate events" Turkey, I think, have a shout as the dark horses to make the semis or even the final. Hoo boy, I got that wrong. Hapless. Abysmal. Imagine being the worst team in a tournament that includes the footballing might of Finland and North Macedonia (...and Scotland ) Congratulations to a quite frankly brilliant Wales, who bossed Turkey from start to finish.

If itās any consolation Iāve seen a few people who backed Turkey to do well in this tournament. But it just hasnāt happened for them at all. They can still go through if they beat Switzerland. I wouldnāt back them though.
