It was a hard battle.
We were short on good players from the GO.
Bernardo Silva, injured. Fabio Coentrão, Injured... and so on.
It was the "team geist" that won. It couldn't have been a spectacular football like previous generations of Rui Costa, Figo, João Pinto, etc.
But they fought with what they had. And after the group matches, Portugal didn't suffered a single goal. The defense was good, along with a bit of luck too.
It's good to see the french swallow their nasty arrogance. And even if we won, nobody tells me that Germany is not the best national team in the world. They simply didn't had the luck they should in the semis. For once, Lineker's say didn't work. "Football is 11 vs 11 and in the end, Germany wins".
We lost in 2004 at home and we didn't treated the greeks like the french did yesterday. Bunch of sore losers.
