Soccer — Portugal Do The Impossible

As you know Portugal played the host nation France in the final of Euro 2016. Cristiano Ronaldo largely regarded as the best player in the world was the single reason that Portugal were in the final in the first place. France bossed most of the game but chances came few and far between for both sides. So when regulation time ended the game looked destined for penalties so when Portugal took an unlikely lead France panicked. They quickly launched everything they had at Portugal but to no avail. Finally the final whistle went and the celebrations began. Obviously France were heartbroken as it was their tournament to win. It was a miracle that Portugal won because Ronaldo left the game early because of injury. That was Portugal’s first win against France in 11 attempts since the 1970’s. I am very happy for Portugal and feel really bad for France. So I hope that the French team do well in the 2018 World Cup.
