Maybe the gap is closing?
All the teams that have struggled, on paper, have some outstanding players.
You normally wouldn’t expect so many teams to under perform.

To be fair to Portugal I think they have played pretty well. They have spread the ball around, kept their shape, played with pace. They gave put good crosses in, had chances.The trend of the "so called, bigger teams" labouring against the less fancied one continues.
Slovenia have just defended very well. Very hard to break down a team that well organised, with good players.

They must all have a rubbish manager, because it can't be the players fault

Maybe Southgate is advising on the side.

Ronaldo crying! Actually crying for missing that dodgy pen. 39 going on 6

I dont get it.. if that was the pen that lost the match then yes... but there still 15 mins
My lad just referred to him as a wet wipe. Brilliantly put.
I’m staggered that a player of his stature should behave like that with fifteen still to go. He just has to be the centre of attention.

That was so weird. It's not like they're out, there's still 15 minutes to go. What if it goes to pens, he'll surely take another one??
Quite. Really odd behaviour. When his side need motivating for the last fifteen minutes, he’s at the centre of the huddle blubbing like a toddler.
Totally unprofessional.

I'm not sure he was crying to be the centre of attention?
Really? I’m not so sure.

I almost said earlier that my night won't be complete unless there are tears from at least one of Ronaldo or Bruno. 
An own goal by Bruno in the next 10 minutes and I'll be very happy.

I am quite looking forward to the first penalty shoot-out here, particularly given that it doesn't involve us.

If he is genuinely able to turn on the waterworks due to wanting to be the centre of attention, rather than it being an unconscious reaction to deep sad emotion, he really is a talented individual

I just got the feeling that he knew all the cameras would be on him, and he’s milked it for all it’s worth.
I get it if they’d been knocked out. But that’s a remarkable way to react when there’s still a considerable time to play.

Full credit to Pepe for competing at this level at his age.
But that incident seemed to be a sign his batteries have fully run out tonight
