"Excuse me Miss, do you like pineapple?"
Boring game. Boring tournament on the whole.
Oh well, only 703 days until the next World Cup
"Excuse me Miss, do you like pineapple?"
Well, this is going to get interesting.
On the one hand, Portugal haven't been the most exciting team to watch. On the other, I do like a good party pooper. Plus France had two hours to score a goal, so my sympathy levels are low.
"Excuse me Miss, do you like pineapple?"
And nobody predicted this would happen.
Major tournament wins...
Messi: 0
Ronaldo: 1
Finally proves who the better player is.
I don't think it proves anything with regards to Messi v Ronaldo. Especially these days when the World Cup and Euros are no longer the pinnacle of the sport.

Also, Zidane was better than both of them! So was Maradona.

Depends on your criteria. Is it relative to their own eras or relative to each other? Because if you took Theo Walcott and stuck him in the 80's he'd be as good as Maradona was given the huge advancements in physical conditioning that the game has seen over the last 30 years.
Good to know that Christophe Dugarry is better than Johan Cruyff because he won a major tournament.
Not sure why Messi is to blame for Argentina not winning a tournament anyway. Did he make Higuain miss that chance in 2014? Or did he make Pekerman do a dumb substitution when leading Germany in 2006? And Ronaldo did nothing in all bar two games in this tournament.

Portugal won? Ugh. Ronaldo's ego has inflated by 300%, no doubt. They didn't even play all that well for much of the tournament. They did 'just' enough to win in the knockout tournament, but they genuinely didn't impress me much the entire way.
