“It was tough because we lost our main man and we had all our hopes pinned on him because he’s a player who can score a goal at any minute”, Portugal defender Pepe said.

EDER barely made an imprint during his ill-fated spell at Swansea, but the striker has left an indelible mark on Portuguese football after scoring the goal that clinched Euro 2016. “This goes out to them”.
Sadness was felt all around fan zones in and around Paris following the host nation’s shock defeat in the Euro 2016 final to Portugal.
It could be possible that Ronaldo has enough trophies to fill a mansion, and doesn’t make room for silver awards. “The disappointment is there and it’s vast”, Deschamps told French television channel M6.
“Fernando Santos was the most important person at the European championship”, he said. “There are no words to describe this feeling”. Think about it. If your team loses in the final of the World Cup or Euro, you have to wait four years for another chance.
“You can’t take anything away from them, they won”.
However, Ronaldo spent much of Sunday’s match alongside Santos in the technical area giving the sort of encouragement to his team mates which is often lacking when he is playing.
Victory also gave Ronaldo energy.
But her reasoning seems to fall on deaf ears, and the little boy can be heard crying over and over, adding: “I want Wales to win”.

Facebook is where people talk about football, especially in real-time. Eder, who joined Lille from Swansea City earlier this year, saw a header pushed out by France goalkeeper Hugo Lloris, while Raphael Guerreiro hit the bar from a free-kick. Ferguson kept smiling and looked on like a proud father as one of his best ever proteges celebrated his greatest night in a Portugal shirt.
