That might occur as early as tomorrow, France is going to be tough to beat with that home crowd support.

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

Both teams, historically, have been Portugal's nightmares.

I suppose the easy pick would be Germany to factor out the home support. But at this point what comes next is gravy. If they play the way they have throughout the knockout rounds Portugal is going to be a tough out.

Wow if true

They had to shut down St Clair here during rush hour. The twitter mentions sure had a lot of "fuckin Portuguese screw this I'm cheering for Wales" or other stuff of that ilk...after the game lol.

C'est la. It'll be an absolute zoo if they actually manage to pull this off Sunday.

Taken near one of Lisbon's squares at 2 am local time (turn on sound).

My folks are there right now and were watching on the waterfront. Mom said the boats in the harbour were blaring their horns for an hour afterwards. This is fun.

If Juve sell Pogba (and while it isn't confirmed it's pretty much a given at this point that the only club that can really afford him right now is Man U) I don't see them having any reason to sell Bonucci.

But, if it does come to that, 50 million euros seems like the right price. Which is crazy for a 29 year old CB but these are the times we live in lol.

Fonte has been a fine player for Saints and I like Cedric as well. Saints have lost Victor Wanyama in midfield and Sadio Mane up front, hopefully they can fine some suitable replacements. On the one hand, it's good that the club is making money, but I think the fans would like to see the team keep some of their better players.

BAREXIT!!!!
