Said it before the start of the match that Portugal will get past Poland. They are a tournament team and unless they face the big teams, they usually can get past any other teams. Won't be surprised if they beat Belgium and make it to the final but I'm sure they won't beat Germany, France or Italy in the final.

They didn't have a single chance in the 1st half.
.... They literally scored a goal.

And off the top of my head, Ronaldo also should have had a clear penalty, and should have done better with a strike from outside the area.

They scored a goal but they certainly weren't a better side.

I would love to see a video of that penalty if someone has it.

Looking over my shoulder.
That match was the last nail in the coffin for anything resembling entertainment in this Euros. Has football really become so cynical that attacking is off the table? The goalie stands with the ball at his feet for five minutes and no attackers even bother walking up to him - at lest they could have brought the poor man a drink. It's ridiculous how boring it is to watch. I thought United were a snooze fest this season, but now I know it's just the norm.

They showed it on BBC MotD, right before Sanches' goal. Stonewall penalty, no two ways about it.
I could post a link but I think the admins might not like it.

I couldn't watch the game yesterday until I got home and reading what the caftards are saying here I though Portugal wasn't attacking at all but after the Polands goal Portugal was on top of them, that's the first half I didn't watch the second half yet.

Might as well leave it, nothing happened from minute 46 to 120.
Apart from Ronaldo missing a few more opportunities.
