06/07/16 : Portugal played against Wales in Lyon for the first semi final of the competition. Cristiano Ronaldo and Nani scored during the first half and made the Seleção win the game. Next step : the final against France or the 2014 World Cup Wining Team, Germany.
Portugal gatecrashed France's Euro 2016 party to win the European Championship for the first time in its history and all this without leading star Cristiano Ronaldo. A super strike by substitute Edér was the difference between the two teams, who both hit the hit woodwork during the match. "They managed to achieve without Cristiano Ronaldo, proving to other teams that one or two great players do not win a trophy, but that a proud, inspired team, with a nation behind it, is what it takes to win the most coveted trophy in European football."
26/06/16 : France played against Ireland. That game started badly for the Blues who had to face an Irish goal at the very beginning of the game. But, during the second half they manage (thanks to Antoine Griezmann) to score two times in 5 minutes, making them both win the match and go to the next level of competition.
