And the award for stupid kit collar goes to... Portugal for a totally ridiculous collar design.

Currently 2-2. Spain infinitely better team but somehow Portugal (who never look great) staying in it. Ronaldo scores Portugal's second, his 138th goal for them at the age of 256.

Housen the Spain centre back running the show for them Glenn Roeder style. He's 20 and was at Bournemouth and now Real Madrid. Wonderful player.

Unusually open game.

	Never knowingly right.
Poll:	How long before new signings become quivering wrecks of the players they were?

It's Huijsen, but yes he's some player at just 20 years old.

And, I quite like the Portugal collar.

Thanks for the correction on Huijsen. Born and brought up in Holland apparently. Must have extended Spanish family. Such an elegant player with great vision.

Very good game and to be fair to Portugal have grown into it.

Still stand by the collar comment. :)

Does Fernandes (ManU) ever stop whinging? Good player but an absolute bell-end.

It's never been documented

Shit but local

Portugal kind of deserved it in the end. Great final.

If they had any sense, Bournemuff would reinvest in sir Ronnie of Edwards

What has happened to Portugal's shirt wearing red? It was always much darker like a claret?

Born in Amsterdam to two Dutch parents who moved to Spain when he was five so he grew up there and after playing at youth level for the Netherlands he finally opted to play for Spain.
The Dutch must be spitting feathers at losing such a generational talen. The way he advanced out of defence and played a stream of defence splitting passes to his forwards was indeed reminiscent of Benckenbauer for the oldies amongst us!

England should take this tournament more seriously. Look at Spain and Portugal, both recent winners of the European Championships, both these sides desperate to win yesterday. England need a change of mindset….some fans too!

Was thinking yesterday the fans were seemingly as into it as they would be any major final. Like the Club World Cup that hasn’t translated here at least yet. Like winning the League Cup for big clubs though, it must help to have that feeling of winning something.

Amazing of Portugal to punch above their weight again. A relatively poor country of 10m people. Just found a way to win again against the odds.

Exactly. And yet over here, when we got relegated to tier 2, it was “who cares, it’s just the nations league”. And yet the sides that actually win big competitions do care. Teams of winners and then there’s England mentality.

Oh, that's awful 😞

An intriguing contest and so much quality to enjoy. Portugal's Leao looked one hell of a player.

"Things had started becoming increasingly desperate at Loftus Road but QPR have been handed a massive lifeline and the place has absolutely erupted. it's carnage. It's bedlam. It's 1-1."
