Quarter Final 2: Portugal vs France live from the Volksparkstadion. BBC1 8pm

[Redshift]

Is someone going to score a worldie at the end or something?

[craigcwwe]

That isn’t a foul either way Oliver. 

[GunmaN1905]

Deschamps should bring on Giroud to take a pen.

[craigcwwe]

Forget penalties, make these play until one of them scores. 

[HOORAY HENRIK]

Better not rob us of penalties.

[Redshift]

I mean... is anyone surprised?

[CFuller]

If nothing else, my fantasy team defenders are going to be raking in the points.

Bring on penalties! 

[TalkSport]

What a chance Mendes

[georginho_juventusygr]

What the hell, Nuno?

[Haguey]

That was the chance

[EnterUsernameHere]

Most predictable penalty shootout ever.

I don't fancy France if this goes to penalties. I know it's not always a great barometer, but I look at their team and don't see many penalty takers, let alone takers under pressure.

That's why I'm so surprised at France's approach. I know they're never gonna go gung ho, but they just showed much less urgency than you'd expect. Portugal are big favourites for me now. 

[Darius1998]

Wrong player at the wrong place for that last chance.

Preceded by the final whistle. 

[Redshift]

OK lads, who's got this? Portugal surely.

[Lucas]

Still awake. PENALTIES. 

[Astafjevs]

France will do well to win this shootout. Even more so having heard all that from Lineker

As I said, I'm not confident in any French player except Theo.

Great finish to the game, sides gave up the previous 118 minutes of being cautious to compete to see who could **** up a great opening most spectacularly

[CFuller]

At least Mbappé cannot miss the decisive penalty this time.

True, but both teams missed sitters

[Lucas]

Portugal to win this. Nothing sweeter than saving CR7 tears for the final. 

[Haguey]

Dembele and Barcola to not score

[EdBed]

One of the better photos I have taken at a match: 

 

[Astafjevs]

I'd still love to know why Mbappé couldn't stroll around for 15 mins and then take a penalty

It was worse in motion, he had a creepy smirk on the go

[PaulHartman71]

Got to be one of the worst non England games of the tournament given the quality of the teams involved

I don't think him taking a penalty if he's got a serious headache and possible vision issues is a good idea.

And it's not like he's an elite taker.

[EnterUsernameHere]

Ronaldo choosing to go second?

Up there with all the rest of the France games

[Astafjevs]

Having a goalkeeper with a penalty reputation like Diogo Costa must be worth so much in pressure shootouts like this. You know the French will have seen the Slovenia shootout and be aware of his ability

Not like him.

[Redshift]

EZ

[av3ry]

Tuned in just in time for penalties 

[Redshift]

Probably will score 10 in a row now

[GunmaN1905]

You've missed literally nothing.

Just one Cristiano FK in the wall.

[TalkSport]

How is that pen allowed ffs  

[Astafjevs]

He's stopped in his runup ffs. Change the rules for goodness sake

[Pukey]

**** off with the ****ing stutter runs, **** off. Why on earth they're not banned is totally beyond me.

[HOORAY HENRIK]

Multiple stops.

[av3ry]

He stopped about 674 times. Should be retaken 

[DJ]

2 stutter stops, pfooey!

[Haguey]

Yeah I hate those pens

[georginho_juventusygr]

That is what happens if you allow a penalty a la Bob Lewandowski.

[Haguey]

Costa guessing wrong tonight, French getting lucky!

[Barry Cartman]

Shame you didn't do that in the CL Bernardo

[georginho_juventusygr]

Good penalty, Bernie.

[Haguey]

Thats a pen, high and you always have a great chance

Ronaldo did it for 120  

[Astafjevs]

Great pen from Koundé
