No sympathy for Belgium. They jobbed it thought their group and made no effort to win it in the last game, which is why they ended up playing France.
France are rarely great to watch in tournaments and not one I particularly enjoy watching as a neutral, but they're always there or thereabouts. So far, you'd say it's the winner of the Germany-Spain tie's tournament to lose.

Portugal could stand a chance, but the biggest threat is Ronaldo's ego. Crying because you miss a penalty isn't a good look for a captain.

Telling the world you've hit rock bottom after missing a penalty tells you all you need to know about Ronaldo. The man only cares about himself.

What a save by the Turkish keeper. Wow! Reminded me of Gordon Banks in 1970. Brilliant save.

I quite enjoyed watching the Dutch but if I was an orange fan I would be frustrated by the inability to apply the "killer touch'
However I feel sure they could find a bike or two for the chap on the other thread.

Bit sorry to see Austria go out as they seemed like they could have had a decent run in the competition. Turkey have been good to watch as well but it's hard to see them going any further, especially with all the suspensions they've got.
I think people were a bit hasty writing off the Dutch. They weren't as bad in the group stage as some were suggesting. They would've beaten France but for a poor refereeing decision, and the game they lost was a thriller that they more than played their part in.
As for Ronaldo, his ego has probably helped him become such a great player, but in the twilight of his career he's just starting to seem like a big baby. His fans are a weird bunch as well, almost becoming as slavish and deluded as Michael Jackson's. Hopefully France will dump them out in the next round and we'll have the novelty of seeing Ronaldo cry twice in one tournament.
