    Backed France from the beginning and took Portugal from the beginning as my outside bet.

    UEFA spoilsports have hit Wales with a misconduct charge for the Welsh players taking their children onto the pitch to celebrate with them during their stunning showing at Euro 2016.


    Gareth Bale, Neil Taylor and Co allowed some of their kids to get in on the joyous, historic moments as they stunned the whole of Europe by reaching the semi-finals in France, but someone wasn’t happy about this and went running to UEFA about i

    Interesting cover. Marca.

    "Dear neighbors, we leave you here the cup. May the best [team] win! P.S. In 2020 we want it back."


    Portugal in the Euros:
    2nd in 2014 (Euro u-19)
    2nd in 2015 (Euro u-21)
    1st in 2016 (Euro u-17)
    2nd/1st in the senior tournament.

    In the last two years, we have been to every final. Plus some other minor achievements. Renato Sanches was part of another u-17 squad that reached the semi finals in 2014, for example.

    Very important day, especially for the 700k portuguese living in France. For them, working many times in lesser paid and looked aside jobs, it's much more a matter of pride. Griezmann has portuguese roots as well, his grandfather was a former portuguese football player who went to France in the 50s to work in construction.

    In the first game there were no ultras, so the vocal support was nonexistent. Since then, some ultras arrived, mainly from Porto (250) but also from Sporting (50+) and some other minor clubs. There are around 400 ultras, which is little but good enough since the "normal" fans only need some leadership. They'll sing if there's some kind of organization.

    Fernando Madureira leads the Super Dragões (Porto) and the portuguese fans in France. The guy with the megaphone.

    Benfica has a much more intense rivalry with Porto and Sporting, so I'm not sure if that would be possible. I'm confident that are No Name Boys there as well, simply not in an institutional way. Mingled with the non-ultras, I'd bet:50:



    Touch of class from L'Equipe, with a portuguese cover for the portuguese community.

    that's probably a good point would be interesting to see if that happened anyway.

    the 3 main groups in Portugal together as one unit.

    So many reasons why I want Portugal to succeed tonight. For some reason I think they will actually beat the arrogant frenchmen as well.

    Absolutely ridiculous that Wales have been charged by UEFA for the players children being allowed onto the pitches to celebrate with their parents.

    They have been warned about their future conduct.
