Portugal has done the impossible, beating France in the final of Euro 2016 with an extra-time goal in the 109th minute off of the right foot of Éder.

France had dominated play the entire match, espcially after Cristiano Ronaldo went down with a knee injury in the eighth minute and was eventually taken out of the match in the 24th minute. At that point, it seemed like Portugal was content to play for penalty kicks.

But as most players on the pitch seemed to be tiring and slowing down, Portugal's final substitute, Éder, who came in to the match in the 79th minute, took a pass and dribbled into open space. Moving to the right, he struck the ball along the ground and back to the left, beating a diving Hugo Lloris.

Great Match, Congrats to Portugal but to France too.

Good host, some hooligan problems at first largely ironed out.

Portugal was a mega-underdog.

About 2012; Portugal had their "cross" jersey, nice looking. Now, I wish I had one though I do have an authentic Portugal jacket.
