What did you think about it?

I did actually think for a second that Greece hade a chance but then I changed my mind.. They did get a draw against england and did win their qualifing group but they are ranked bad.. Shame for Portugal though, I have relatives there so I feel sorry for them.

Greece coach was so right, before the game he said they would take advantage of Portugals and Spains defensive play and he was so correct. Portugal played way to defensive which caused them to loose.

Ronaldo was the best player on the field, he had some unlucky moments like when he came onto the pitch he gave away a penalty :p but he made up for it by playing excellent fotball and scored one goal...

Final result was 2-1 to Greece if you missed the game...

And I could have won some money, I was watching the game with a friend and in the 92th minute when portugal just made their corner I said out loud "wanna bet that they score now" but just when Ronaldo touched the ball I said that I was kidding.. and what happened.. They scored! Ohh well

I think portugal will go into the quater finals facing France, they will share the second place but their goal diffrence will be greater...

25 minutes left until Spain - Russia kick off ;)

Post your thoughts about the game

i though portugal played rele well in the second half afta the pen was scored but Greece had a defence of a bout 10 men lol. I agree Ronaldo was the best player on the pitch he had some crackin shots but ther defence woz huge. Another thing to mention about Portugal is ther lack of a foward right winger so whenever a cross went over to the right end of the box no-one was there.

Because im gonna b patriotic i think England will win. Go England :D.

meh dissapointing game, they were nervous and greece's coach really motivated his players, portugal needs as many said to put new blood on the field like Ronaldo, we've been counting on our "stars" for way to long and they are now all in their 30s.

now i hope for a draw between spain and russia

Yeah Ronaldo was the best player on the pitch.. made me laugh on how the commentary kept saying he had some great crosses.. well imo they are only great crosses if you actually cross to someone there.

Yeah Portugals forwards were all over the place but Ronaldo should have taken more shots instead of playing to nobody.

I swore Greece didnt have a chance before kick off though.

So all credit to them.. I guess sometimes attack is the best type of defence.

They go 2-0 up and put on 3 forwards.

    • Amazon eero Pro 6E mesh Wi-Fi system 2-pack is 27% off

      Personally, I think these things are way over rated and way over priced, even at this price. I recently had Frontier Fiber installed with 2 of these devices and although they worked, I switched back to my own router and AP setup and get way better consistency on wireless speed than with Eeros. Wired speed seems to be more consistent also. Will be returning Eeros soon. I had told Frontier I didn't want them to begin with.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By tboggs13 · Posted

      Yes, exactly what I have been thinking. Don't make the context menu simpler, make it smarter to learn what I actually use. And then, give me the ability to pin settings that I rarely use but need forget where they are.

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Here's how to watch Summer Game Fest 2026 and what to expect from the 2-hour showcase by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The June game showcase schedule is packed, and with the Sony event already behind us, it's time for the next major presentation to come in swinging. Later today, Geoff Keighley will be bringing the 2026 edition of Summer Game Fest live from the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, California. For anyone wanting to tune in online, the Summer Game Fest showcase livestream will be kicking off at 2 PM PT | 5 PM ET | 10 PM BST later today, June 5. The jam-packed show is slated to run for about two hours, with platforms like YouTube (4K at 60FPS), Twitch, Facebook, or X being available for catching it. Like in previous years, separate streams featuring American Sign Language and Descriptive Audio are available on YouTube as well. Keighley has only dropped a few teasers about what gaming fans can expect to see at the show. This includes a new look at Star Wars Zero Company from EA, a major announcement from Guild Wars developer ArenaNet, more Clutch gameplay, and some sort of Sega presence. As for fan expectations, there is hype building about a Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 reveal here, and we might see new details about announced games like Alien Isolation 2 as well. If you want even more games, keep in mind that right after the main kickoff event, the Day of the Devs showcase will begin its own festivities at 4 pm PT | 7 pm ET. This is focused entirely on upcoming indie games. Following this, the next major games showcase is slated to happen on June 7. Here, Microsoft is bringing the big guns with its Xbox Games Showcase and Gears of War E-Day Direct. Check out the full calendar for all of the June events over here.
