France 2 – 2 Portugal.
And breathe. Group F and the F stands for Fugazi. Rollercoaster antics throughout the 90 minutes. CR7 penning on the white like a ghostwriter and writing history whilst he’s at it. 109. Ties the men’s record for most international goals of all time. 20. Breaks the record for most World Cup + Euro goals of all time. Goat talk. Him and Benz going back and forth like Wimbledon ‘08 but they were hitting nets like unforced errors. Real Madrid alumni running the world stage. Renato, Pogba, Kanté and Patricio all going about their business too. Portugal now face Belgium in the RO16. The last time they advanced whilst finishing 3rd in the group? 2016. That game is already a classic and it’s not even been played out yet. France matching up against Switzerland, also. The favourites giving us one of the games of the tournament. This is why we love football.
