In four parts. An old Empire meeting again is where it starts. A winning | :00:58. | :01:08. | |
beginning for Hungary's young colts. COMMENTATOR: Would you believe it? | :01:09. | :01:14. | |
What a finish to finish of Austria. Many faults found with the Viennese | :01:15. | :01:23. | |
welts. Seven! Part two, the beaches versus the fjords. No need for | :01:24. | :01:36. | |
swords. They scored, the big I am. A hero's joyless, Troilus pram. | :01:37. | :01:47. | |
Against a trustee in a tracksuit tragical, their own legend would | :01:48. | :01:52. | |
remain unspoken, because the sons had their hearts broken. The | :01:53. | :02:02. | |
methodologically groomed hero CR7 wanted to take his manna another way | :02:03. | :02:10. | |
to heaven. But he struck a wooden glitch, proving that, is... So now | :02:11. | :02:18. | |
be vigilant, unlike a rest, as we finish the saga of Group F. | :02:19. | :02:27. | |
GARY LINEKER: Great stuff. Coming up, Portugal against Hungary, defeat | :02:28. | :02:37. | |
for the Portuguese and we would say goodbye to Ronaldo. Meanwhile, over | :02:38. | :02:41. | |
on the red button and BBC sport website, we will have coverage of | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
Iceland against Austria, both sides still in with a chance of | :02:46. | :02:51. | |
qualifying. Iceland unbeaten so far in their first ever experience of a | :02:52. | :02:59. | |
major tournament. He is now -- here is how things stand. The situation | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
is more precarious for Portugal and Iceland. They need at least a point. | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
Austria must win or they are out. Watching it all unfold in the | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
studio, Rio Ferdinand, Thierry Henry and Danny Mathie. Video, this group | :03:13. | :03:17. | |
has become slightly more than just a member for -- Danny Murphy. England | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
will play the second placed team in it. England must be thinking, were | :03:22. | :03:28. | |
we right to rest players, should we have kept the momentum in the team, | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
really gone for that team and made sure we finish top in the group? | :03:33. | :03:35. | |
Because the way the games are filling out now and the side of the | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
draw they are in, I have put it down there, they could get Portugal today | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
if results go the wrong way. France, Germany, Italy, Spain on that side, | :03:45. | :03:49. | |
rather than playing beat Turkey, Belgium, Croatia side of the draw. | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
It is precarious. Portugal have struggled so far, are they too | :03:55. | :03:59. | |
dependent on one man? I don't think they are too dependent on him. I | :04:00. | :04:02. | |
would say is they are not playing well as a team yet. The lack of | :04:03. | :04:07. | |
creativity from midfield. Obviously when you think about Ronaldo, you | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
are thinking about a guy that can bale you out. When they win it is | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
because of Ronaldo, when they lose it is also because of Ronaldo, | :04:16. | :04:18. | |
because they don't perform, but you don't win alone or lose alone. You | :04:19. | :04:23. | |
certainly don't lose. What I'm saying is in midfield they don't | :04:24. | :04:26. | |
create enough to find the big man. He could have had a hat-trick the | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
other day. Usually he would with these type of opportunities, and he | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
missed a penalty, but it is a team thing for me. I never thought I | :04:34. | :04:38. | |
would say this, but the thing Ronaldo is trying to hide? Yes, I | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
think he is. His desperation to be regarded as the best man in the | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
tournament. He wants to come out being the top man, and that is the | :04:48. | :04:50. | |
desperation you have seen for his chances. He puts them away for Real | :04:51. | :04:55. | |
Madrid. To be fair, that is the way he plays, I have seen him shooting | :04:56. | :05:01. | |
from everywhere even when he scores four goals. We will talk more about | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
Ronaldo nearer the game. As for Hungary, even their coach does not | :05:06. | :05:08. | |
expect them to do as well as they have done. He said the second round | :05:09. | :05:12. | |
for us is not an expectation. It is a dreamer. Exactly that. I was | :05:13. | :05:21. | |
surprised by the level of their performance in the first game. They | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
are a threat. I am really pleased for my old team-mate, Zoltan Gera. | :05:27. | :05:32. | |
He has been magnificent. His third game in a week, 37 years old. It is | :05:33. | :05:38. | |
a great story, as is Iceland. Undefeated so far. They have an | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
interesting heat map Kaino you have spotted, that is worth a little look | :05:43. | :05:47. | |
at. There are backs to the wall and parking the bus, but this is both | :05:48. | :05:53. | |
games. They are on fire at the back, one of their volcanoes. Let's give | :05:54. | :05:59. | |
them some credit, they are defending with everyone behind the ball but | :06:00. | :06:01. | |
they have done it well, and they have got themselves a goal as well, | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
so well done to them. Indeed. It is the final day of group games, the | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
round of 16 starts on Saturday and this is how things are shaping up | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
right now. Last night's results made things a little clearer, not much | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
but a little. Northern Ireland we know through as one of the best | :06:19. | :06:24. | |
third placed teams. They will play France or Wales, though it is turkey | :06:25. | :06:26. | |
look the most likely opponents for the Welsh. England as we said over | :06:27. | :06:29. | |
the conclusion of this group. There has been some speculation about Roy | :06:30. | :06:33. | |
Hodgson's future in today's papers, and Gabby Logan has been reflecting | :06:34. | :06:35. | |
on his selection gamble against Slovakia. | :06:36. | :06:44. | |
Horse racing, the sport of kings. For some, a casual flutter. For | :06:45. | :06:51. | |
others, bigger, more calculate it risks. It's all gambling. | :06:52. | :06:57. | |
COMMENTATOR: For England, winning this final group game could be | :06:58. | :07:00. | |
crucial in shaping how long their ride at Euro 2016 lasts. Rarely | :07:01. | :07:07. | |
looked at his stable of thoroughbreds and -- Roy look at | :07:08. | :07:11. | |
this table of thoroughbreds and decided to gavel on some young ones. | :07:12. | :07:17. | |
The result might say momentum started. In the end, the odds of | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
scoring a goal seemed stacked against England. Dele Alli! Goal | :07:22. | :07:28. | |
saving clearance. In this age way bet, England came out second. Their | :07:29. | :07:34. | |
winnings? A place in the last 16. The course, Nice. The opposition, | :07:35. | :07:40. | |
unknown. Good to firm or heavy going, we will find out later. | :07:41. | :07:44. | |
Perhaps the most important lesson of the night was that a man who has | :07:45. | :07:48. | |
been indispensable and then dispensable had written himself back | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
into a position of first pick. Sport of kings? It must be Rooney. His | :07:53. | :08:02. | |
replacement of the beat. England will hope to find winning form on | :08:03. | :08:06. | |
Monday. Expect Roy to back his favourites. | :08:07. | :08:10. | |
That was England, this is Wales. Let's cross to the Welsh camp where | :08:11. | :08:16. | |
we can speak to Chris Como on. Chris, first and foremost, thanks | :08:17. | :08:21. | |
very much for joining us. All has gone swimmingly well feel so far. | :08:22. | :08:23. | |
The mood in the camp must be fabulous? Yes, as you can imagine. | :08:24. | :08:30. | |
You know, topping the group was an absolute fantastic feeling. | :08:31. | :08:35. | |
Importantly we needed to try and get out of the group stages. We went | :08:36. | :08:39. | |
into it as fourth seeds. We had it all to do really. But the players | :08:40. | :08:45. | |
lived up to the expectation of our home support. It has just been a | :08:46. | :08:49. | |
great experience so far. Every game that goes past is more experience | :08:50. | :08:55. | |
for us at a tournament. The players are revelling in the situation may | :08:56. | :09:01. | |
have created for themselves. Fluent victory against England, perhaps | :09:02. | :09:04. | |
Wales's finest hour, do you think, on a football pitch? I would have to | :09:05. | :09:09. | |
say yes, that is probably our best performance to date. I thought it | :09:10. | :09:13. | |
was a complete performance, in and out of possession. It was brilliant. | :09:14. | :09:18. | |
I think of course we deserved the win. A lot of pressure going into | :09:19. | :09:21. | |
the game. Some people looked at it and thought, well, Wales don't have | :09:22. | :09:26. | |
anything to lose because they are not expected to get through but | :09:27. | :09:29. | |
obviously we didn't see it like that. We thought we had a chance, we | :09:30. | :09:33. | |
put ourselves in a position, which we always said before we came when | :09:34. | :09:36. | |
we get to that last game, can we be in a position where we can effect | :09:37. | :09:39. | |
that we can get through to the last 16, and we were in that position. | :09:40. | :09:44. | |
But the players, like I said, they loved being in that position, they | :09:45. | :09:48. | |
enjoyed the pressure, going out to perform under that pressure and they | :09:49. | :09:52. | |
deserve the credit they get. You certainly seem to have a real | :09:53. | :09:56. | |
togetherness and spirit about this squad. Also when we have seen quite | :09:57. | :10:00. | |
a lot of the star players not quite performing in this tournament | :10:01. | :10:02. | |
committee have managed to get the best out of Gareth Bale as well. How | :10:03. | :10:08. | |
have you done? We have got a way of working, you know, we have got a | :10:09. | :10:14. | |
game plan, and certain formation that we rarely tweak, rarely change. | :10:15. | :10:18. | |
They know their jobs, they know their responsibilities. We have got | :10:19. | :10:22. | |
our core values that we try to stick to come and we concentrate on that, | :10:23. | :10:25. | |
to be honest with you. The result is sometimes you can play very, very | :10:26. | :10:29. | |
well and you don't get the result. Once you start concentrating too | :10:30. | :10:32. | |
much on the result you forget what you are actually good at and forget | :10:33. | :10:35. | |
the game plan, and to the process of putting in a good performance. So | :10:36. | :10:40. | |
the result is what it is going to be, we tried to concentrate on | :10:41. | :10:44. | |
ourselves, and make sure we get the best out of what we are good at. | :10:45. | :10:47. | |
Generally everything else takes care of business of itself. Winning the | :10:48. | :10:52. | |
group seems to have opened up the draw nicely for you. Northern | :10:53. | :10:55. | |
Ireland or Turkey next. You could go a long way in this tournament, | :10:56. | :11:02. | |
Chris. I think a lot of people will look at it, and can afford to look | :11:03. | :11:06. | |
at it and say there is a good pathway there, should any heavy get | :11:07. | :11:12. | |
past this or that team. -- anybody get past. But we can't afford to | :11:13. | :11:17. | |
look past the next game, we can't afford to look past the next 45 | :11:18. | :11:20. | |
minutes. We have never been in this position. We are not just happy to | :11:21. | :11:24. | |
be here, we believe we can compete in this competition, and we must | :11:25. | :11:28. | |
continue to do that. Whoever we get will be a tough game. All the teams | :11:29. | :11:33. | |
here are good teams, and most of the games, there are rarely more than | :11:34. | :11:36. | |
one goal in it. It is always tough, it is like a game of chess at this | :11:37. | :11:40. | |
level. Whoever comes out of the hat, it will be a tough game but it is a | :11:41. | :11:44. | |
challenge for us. We are looking forward to it, we have every | :11:45. | :11:49. | |
possibility to keep progressing, so we are excited. We wish you well, | :11:50. | :11:53. | |
Chris, thanks for talking to us. Thanks, Gary. Thanks. | :11:54. | :11:59. | |
And we can confirm the BBC will have live coverage of Wales's | :12:00. | :12:05. | |
second-round match, which kicks off at 5pm on Paris on Saturday. | :12:06. | :12:10. | |
Northern Ireland or Turkey the potential opponents, and we will | :12:11. | :12:13. | |
hear from Northern Ireland manager, Michael O'Neill, at half-time. Back | :12:14. | :12:18. | |
to tonight's game. This is how the two teams line up. Portugal make two | :12:19. | :12:23. | |
changes but not in goal. Keep a Patricio has not been busy so far, | :12:24. | :12:30. | |
making just four saves. Eliseu you starts and replaces Barrera, who has | :12:31. | :12:32. | |
been suffering from a muscle problem. William Carvalho nixes | :12:33. | :12:41. | |
place and screens the back four. Gomes was about but is fit to start, | :12:42. | :12:44. | |
while Mario returns and place instead of winger, Quaresma. Ronaldo | :12:45. | :12:49. | |
has gone for months without a competitive goal for Portugal. He is | :12:50. | :12:53. | |
again partnered by Nanny -- Nani. Hungary have made five changes. | :12:54. | :13:11. | |
Diarra starts a third consecutive game -- Gera. Striker Szalai is | :13:12. | :13:22. | |
recalled. Surprisingly dropped after their opener despite scoring his | :13:23. | :13:27. | |
first goal for 18 months. This is the 11th meeting between the two | :13:28. | :13:31. | |
sides, and Hungary have yet to win one. The only time they have met | :13:32. | :13:35. | |
before at a major tournament as the 1966 World Cup. Gabor Kiraly wasn't | :13:36. | :13:42. | |
in goal that day but it feels like he has been around almost as long. | :13:43. | :13:46. | |
The 40-year-old is the only player only to appear at the European | :13:47. | :13:53. | |
Championships. The iconic ill fitting sweat pants of Gabor Kiraly | :13:54. | :13:59. | |
have become part of the scenery at Euro 2016, adding a certain I don't | :14:00. | :14:05. | |
know what to the tournament. But any dedicated followers of fashion will | :14:06. | :14:07. | |
know that his style has been in vogue for decades. I started 20 | :14:08. | :14:13. | |
years ago in Hungary, and it brought luck. I took at after to London, to | :14:14. | :14:19. | |
Crystal Palace. Comfort is key for Kiraly. The story goes that after | :14:20. | :14:26. | |
this mistake back in 2005, Gabor Kiraly vowed never to wear shorts | :14:27. | :14:30. | |
again, whatever the weather. I think it can be then -- it can't be | :14:31. | :14:36. | |
beneficial when it rains heavily, but I know him really well, and he | :14:37. | :14:40. | |
said to me it doesn't matter to him whether it is raining or not. But it | :14:41. | :14:45. | |
looks funny. As well as wearing his trusty tracksuit bottoms, this | :14:46. | :14:49. | |
creature of habit always puts his left shin pad on first, must listen | :14:50. | :14:53. | |
to Bon Jovi before every game, and only ever drives a mini Cooper. The | :14:54. | :15:03. | |
unvarying routine must be working. Against Austria, Kiraly became the | :15:04. | :15:06. | |
first Hungary and goalkeeper to keep a clean sheet at the Euros. | :15:07. | :15:11. | |
COMMENTATOR: Not bad for a 40-year-old. Still going strong at | :15:12. | :15:16. | |
40, still earning admiring glances. I was amazed that he is still | :15:17. | :15:20. | |
playing, I thought he retired many years ago! He is playing well. What | :15:21. | :15:29. | |
a super save from Gabor Kiraly. The unorthodox keeper is prone to the | :15:30. | :15:32. | |
occasional error, but in typical fashion he will just pick himself up | :15:33. | :15:37. | |
and dust and self down. There is no sign of Gabor calling time on his | :15:38. | :15:41. | |
international career just yet. He will be hoping to make a fume or | :15:42. | :15:44. | |
moments of history before he hangs up his grade joggers. I have played | :15:45. | :15:51. | |
20 years for Hungary in these bottoms, and I don't think I will | :15:52. | :15:52. | |
change. What a character. In Hungary today, | :15:53. | :16:02. | |
they are having a special where you're jogging bottoms to work day | :16:03. | :16:05. | |
in honour of Gabor Kiraly. People have been poking a bit of fun at it. | :16:06. | :16:13. | |
They did this on Canadian TV! Presenters wearing those bottoms. | :16:14. | :16:17. | |
Danny also did it the other day as well! | :16:18. | :16:21. | |
LAUGHTER Not quite as baggy, those ones, | :16:22. | :16:28. | |
Kiraly's! He's a good keeper, he makes the odd Rickett, is it a | :16:29. | :16:33. | |
weakness or a strength? Well, the number two can't be that good that's | :16:34. | :16:39. | |
all will say! It's his crosses, he can't cope with crosses. Shot | :16:40. | :16:45. | |
stopping, yeah, he's half decent. This is his best save of the | :16:46. | :16:49. | |
tournament. He is a presence, he's talking and trying to lead his | :16:50. | :16:53. | |
defence, but for me he's a weakness because he doesn't know what he's | :16:54. | :16:56. | |
doing when crosses come in. That's a good save, to be fair. Here, you see | :16:57. | :17:02. | |
his starting position. He's scared, he doesn't want to be anyone. He | :17:03. | :17:08. | |
tries to get back in and still flaps at it and his confidence was shot in | :17:09. | :17:13. | |
this particular game. He drops it here, no one really around him, and | :17:14. | :17:16. | |
this is the one they get the penalty from. I'm sure Portugal will have | :17:17. | :17:21. | |
seen this and they will put a lotto balls in the box. Wearing those big | :17:22. | :17:26. | |
tracksuit bottoms, I couldn't take him seriously! I wouldn't want to | :17:27. | :17:31. | |
turn around on the pitch and see my keeper wearing a big baggy pair of | :17:32. | :17:40. | |
joggers! Where you superstitious -- were you superstitious? I was very, | :17:41. | :17:46. | |
I never wore boxer shorts on the day of a game... Were you? No, I wasn't. | :17:47. | :17:53. | |
I used to be, until I worked out it was unlucky! Elsewhere in the | :17:54. | :17:59. | |
Hungary team, sad -- Dzsudzsak is probably their star | :18:00. | :18:19. | |
man. He shoots from anywhere, good set plays. He's the one they look to | :18:20. | :18:25. | |
to open up teams. I like this, he is out wide there and he has that | :18:26. | :18:28. | |
ability to go past people. I know you like him committee area. I like | :18:29. | :18:34. | |
him being direct. As a wing at times, that's what you need to do, | :18:35. | :18:38. | |
take the ball, put your head up and have a go. In that team I guess he's | :18:39. | :18:42. | |
allowed to do that more than the other guys. To score 40 plus goals | :18:43. | :18:46. | |
for Eindhoven and win the league along the way, you have to be | :18:47. | :18:52. | |
special. Also come he can cross the ball early. Good deliveries. He's | :18:53. | :18:56. | |
obviously the guide for that team and you can see he's enjoying that. | :18:57. | :19:01. | |
The only thing is, the other lads aren't quite in his wavelength | :19:02. | :19:06. | |
sometimes. Sometimes he's saying, is it always me or what? Why did you | :19:07. | :19:14. | |
pour water on your head? I don't know, I just used to do it, water on | :19:15. | :19:20. | |
my head, splashed everywhere. They would go, Rio, what you playing at? | :19:21. | :19:23. | |
It was just about doing the same routine every week. As far as | :19:24. | :19:28. | |
Portugal are concerned, inevitably all the focus going into the game | :19:29. | :19:34. | |
has entered on renowned low. This will be his 17th appearance at the | :19:35. | :19:37. | |
Euros, more than any other player in the history of the tournament. So | :19:38. | :19:41. | |
far he's managed to upset the whole of Iceland, Mr penalty against | :19:42. | :19:49. | |
-- miss a penalty, and see his team charged when a fan ran onto the | :19:50. | :19:56. | |
pitch for a selfie with him. Where you too can have the trip of a | :19:57. | :20:21. | |
lifetime. You will never feel more relaxed. The true meaning of joie de | :20:22. | :20:36. | |
vivre, the joy of living. France, the meeting point of Europe. From | :20:37. | :20:46. | |
all over the world -- make friends from all over the world. Make | :20:47. | :20:51. | |
memories. Make a trip you will never forget. You will love France. | :20:52. | :21:04. | |
Well, Ronaldo, despite his slow start, 20 shots, ten blocks, just | :21:05. | :21:12. | |
hasn't managed to score. He's still making the headlines. He's had a bit | :21:13. | :21:16. | |
of a spat with a journalist. The team were just having a stroll and a | :21:17. | :21:20. | |
journalist jumped in and tried to interview him. Ronaldo picks up the | :21:21. | :21:24. | |
microphone and lobs it in the water. What's wrong with that? | :21:25. | :21:28. | |
LAUGHTER It's a superstition! He's always a | :21:29. | :21:38. | |
threat, isn't he? Anyone can have a bit of an spell for two or three | :21:39. | :21:42. | |
games but at a championships it's difficult, isn't it? It is. To be | :21:43. | :21:50. | |
fair, his free kicks are not the best but when they're on target | :21:51. | :21:54. | |
their normally a goal. To be fair, Nani should have scored from that | :21:55. | :22:01. | |
cross. People will have a go at him because he is Ronaldo and he did not | :22:02. | :22:06. | |
score the penalty, but he has no right to win this penalty. He is | :22:07. | :22:13. | |
there. He could have scored there, he didn't. But he is there and | :22:14. | :22:18. | |
about. You're always going to have the opportunity to score. You can | :22:19. | :22:24. | |
see a bit of frustration. That's a great, great strike. Good save by | :22:25. | :22:30. | |
the goalkeeper. Because it's him, people are likely, he still didn't | :22:31. | :22:34. | |
score, he should have scored this or that, and that's the way it is. But | :22:35. | :22:38. | |
as I've said before, where is the creativity from midfield? You need a | :22:39. | :22:44. | |
bit of luck and we've seen him miss penalties. Where is the creativity | :22:45. | :22:54. | |
of Jau Mario, of Moutinho? The team isn't playing that well. What's | :22:55. | :22:58. | |
great about him, even though he's not scoring and they have not been | :22:59. | :23:03. | |
winning the games, it shows kids watching that even though it's not | :23:04. | :23:08. | |
going your way, you still have to have the personality to go in there | :23:09. | :23:12. | |
and create chances because many players shy away from that. You | :23:13. | :23:17. | |
wouldn't want the ball under those circumstances under that pressure. | :23:18. | :23:21. | |
He wants that responsibility. You wouldn't be surprised today if he | :23:22. | :23:27. | |
walked out there and banged in a hat-trick, would you? Exactly, | :23:28. | :23:30. | |
because that's what the best players do, bounce act from criticism. Can | :23:31. | :23:37. | |
Portugal do this? I think Portugal need to turn up for him to score | :23:38. | :23:43. | |
goals. You need your team to perform. I think Sanches would have | :23:44. | :23:49. | |
been a good addition to this team, someone who can run with the ball | :23:50. | :23:52. | |
and free him up with a bit more space. Interesting, he looks very | :23:53. | :23:59. | |
serious Camara Nalgo. Can this be his moment? We shall find out. Don't | :24:00. | :24:03. | |
forget, you can follow Iceland against Austria on the red button | :24:04. | :24:09. | |
and the BBC website. COMMENTATOR: Hello, Gary. Thank you | :24:10. | :24:17. | |
to everyone. Portugal will be hoping their hopes don't sink to the bottom | :24:18. | :24:22. | |
like that reporter's microphone. In danger of earlier nation here and | :24:23. | :24:26. | |
feeling the pressure as shot after shot failed to turn dominance into | :24:27. | :24:31. | |
wins in their earlier group matches. Ronaldo's mood, nothing that a goal | :24:32. | :24:35. | |
or two wouldn't change. Portugal could still win the group with a | :24:36. | :24:40. | |
win. Hungary, and who would have thought this can safely through to | :24:41. | :24:44. | |
the last 16 with a game to spare and currently top on four points. Now | :24:45. | :24:50. | |
ready for the anthems and the first one you will hear is that of | :24:51. | :24:51. | |
Portugal. # Herois do mar, nobre povo | :24:52. | :25:05. | |
Nacao valente, imortal # Levantai hoje de novo | :25:06. | :25:12. | |
O esplendor de Portugal # Entre as brumas da memoria | :25:13. | :25:23. | |
O Patria, sente-se a voz # Dos teus egregios avos | :25:24. | :25:33. | |
Que ha-de guiar-te a vitoria # As armas, as armas | :25:34. | :25:43. | |
Sobre a terra, sobre o mar, # As armas, as armas | :25:44. | :25:50. | |
Pela Patria lutar # Contra os canhoes, marchar, | :25:51. | :26:00. | |
marchar. # Portugal have made it through the | :26:01. | :26:17. | |
group stages in all six of their previous appearances at the finals. | :26:18. | :26:27. | |
# Isten, aldd meg a Magyart Jo kedvvel, boseggel, | :26:28. | :26:32. | |
# Nyujts feleje vedo kart, Ha kuzd ellenseggel; | :26:33. | :26:42. | |

# Megbunhodte mar e nep A multat s jovendot! | :27:07. | :27:24. | |
Hungary once the team to beat, midway through the 20th century. | :27:25. | :27:30. | |
They are back on the map, with hope for a better fit falling -- | :27:31. | :27:36. | |
footballing future. These teams will face each other again next year, | :27:37. | :27:39. | |
having been drawn in the same group ahead of the World Cup qualifiers in | :27:40. | :27:45. | |
Russia. Hungary have shown they are no pushovers. With Hungary already | :27:46. | :27:53. | |
through, coach Bernd Storck rotates his squad today. Adam Szalai returns | :27:54. | :28:03. | |
up front in place of Tamas Priskin. Tamas Kadar, formerly of Newcastle, | :28:04. | :28:09. | |
drops to the bench. Key playmaker ballast to | :28:10. | :28:15. | |
lines up. -- Balazs Dzsudzsak lines up. Martin Atkinson taking charge of | :28:16. | :28:29. | |
his second match of this tournament, having previously refereed Germany's | :28:30. | :28:30. | |
opening game against Ukraine. Portugal's line-up shows a couple of | :28:31. | :28:46. | |
changes. Left-back Rafael Guerreiro has been nursing an injury and sits | :28:47. | :28:53. | |
this one out. Eliseu replaces him. Ricardo Quaresma drops to the bench. | :28:54. | :28:59. | |
Cristiano Ronaldo plays his 17th match at the European Championships | :29:00. | :29:03. | |
finals today, a new record, taking him clear of Lillian Thuram and | :29:04. | :29:09. | |
Edwin van the Saar. Among the substitutes, Renato | :29:10. | :29:20. | |
Sanches, making a big-money move this summer. | :29:21. | :29:27. | |
Almost ready to go. It is Portugal who will get us under way, Nani the | :29:28. | :29:33. | |
player standing there with the ball at his feet. Martin Keown alongside | :29:34. | :29:39. | |
me in the common tree box here. Martin, what sort of game will we | :29:40. | :29:43. | |
see today? Will we see Portugal finally letting loose in front of | :29:44. | :29:48. | |
goal? Well, without doubt. Free-flowing football, I expect them | :29:49. | :29:54. | |
to attack this Hungarian team. Adjusting doozy if Ronaldo now can | :29:55. | :29:58. | |
live up to the billing. -- interesting to see. Portugal, like | :29:59. | :30:03. | |
ourselves, struggling in front of goal. The team that finishes second | :30:04. | :30:08. | |
in this group will play England in Nice in the last 16. We will keep | :30:09. | :30:13. | |
you fully updated with events in Paris between the Icelandic team and | :30:14. | :30:15. | |
Austria. Clear macro this lovely new stadium | :30:16. | :30:18. | |
for Lyon, which opened in January. Hungary in the red shirts. I think | :30:19. | :30:40. | |
they have surprised an awful lot of people so far here in France with | :30:41. | :30:43. | |
their performances and their results. First time back on the big | :30:44. | :30:47. | |
stage for a long time, since the 1986 World Cup finals. They are just | :30:48. | :30:55. | |
living the dream at the moment. Pressure really on Portugal. To | :30:56. | :31:01. | |
produce something special today. They need that creativity, though in | :31:02. | :31:06. | |
their play. One of the players charged with providing that | :31:07. | :31:15. | |
creativity is Joao Mario. There is Dzsudzsak, a key player for Hungary, | :31:16. | :31:20. | |
and the first corner of the match of the head of Roland Juhasz, part of | :31:21. | :31:24. | |
the central defensive partnership for Hungary alongside Guzmics. It is | :31:25. | :31:32. | |
a bit hot for those long Trekkie bottoms, isn't it, Martin? He must | :31:33. | :31:39. | |
be sweltering. You come with how warm it is here. Shami Junior with | :31:40. | :31:48. | |
the corner for Portugal. Dzsudzsak will bring it clear. -- Joao | :31:49. | :31:53. | |
Moutinho. Almost three to Nani. That was a | :31:54. | :32:09. | |
great ball through. Nani has got to do better with his touch there. You | :32:10. | :32:15. | |
are not sure when that patch is going to come, did everything right, | :32:16. | :32:24. | |
just rolls off him. Playing as a central striker. Nani, who unlike | :32:25. | :32:29. | |
his strike partner, is off the mark here at this European Championship | :32:30. | :32:38. | |
with a goal against Iceland. Szalai penalised for a foul on Pepe. Bernd | :32:39. | :32:45. | |
Storck, the coach of Hungary. He took over initially on a temporary | :32:46. | :32:50. | |
basis, but he has done well. Team spirit is our strength committee | :32:51. | :32:54. | |
says, and they have shown plenty of that so far. He has changed most of | :32:55. | :32:58. | |
the team for today, so it will be attack against a fence, I feel. -- | :32:59. | :33:08. | |
against defence. Working people towards Joao Mario quite a lot in | :33:09. | :33:13. | |
the opening exchanges. Mario showing that willingness to run at his | :33:14. | :33:21. | |
defender. There is Fernando Santos, who, in the build-up to this game, | :33:22. | :33:26. | |
was saying that they shouldn't worry about pretty football, if a less | :33:27. | :33:30. | |
attractive but more effective way is there for them, if it proves to be | :33:31. | :33:34. | |
more efficient, they just need to do what's required. He feels sometimes | :33:35. | :33:37. | |
they worry too much about looking good, rather than getting the job | :33:38. | :33:43. | |
done. Yes, but he's trusting in these players, he has that believe | :33:44. | :33:46. | |
in them, and why not? They have just got to start turning all of these | :33:47. | :33:54. | |
chances into goals. 49 shots on goal Portugal have had so far, just the | :33:55. | :33:59. | |
one goal to show for it. They have dominated the matches they've | :34:00. | :34:06. | |
played. Here's Cristiano Ronaldo for the first time. Put on the seat of | :34:07. | :34:18. | |
his pants. Ronaldo in that position, when he runs at players. This is his | :34:19. | :34:23. | |
strength. Takes it away, draws the challenge, free kick. Roland Juhasz | :34:24. | :34:33. | |
may just have to watch his step. And Portugal with an opportunity here to | :34:34. | :34:36. | |
put some real pressure on Hungary's goal. Moutinho across on the far | :34:37. | :34:43. | |
side. He will be looking for better quality than Moutinho gave us in | :34:44. | :34:54. | |
that first corner. The physical presence of William Carvalho added | :34:55. | :34:57. | |
in the penalty area as well. Ricardo Carvalho will head towards the far | :34:58. | :35:02. | |
post. Pepe always in the thick of it on set plays, here we go, Moutinho | :35:03. | :35:06. | |
with the delivery, and the shot tumbling away from the goal from | :35:07. | :35:14. | |
Joao Mario. Just technique again. Decent ball in. Only half cleared. | :35:15. | :35:20. | |
Just needs to keep that down and on target. Better technique required. | :35:21. | :35:31. | |
It's been a fewer years since we saw Gabor Kiraly in goal for Crystal | :35:32. | :35:38. | |
Palace, but he's been in excellent form. He was a key player for them | :35:39. | :35:44. | |
in the play-off win against Norway. Not so convincing there, but his | :35:45. | :35:50. | |
performance helped his team reach the finals. He has put them in | :35:51. | :35:56. | |
trouble there, just overdoing it. A slight misunderstanding there | :35:57. | :36:01. | |
between Moutinho and Joao Mario means that Kiraly gets away with | :36:02. | :36:07. | |
that one. Adam Szalai up front again, replacing Tamas Kadar. | :36:08. | :36:14. | |
Szalai's first goal here in France was his first for club or country in | :36:15. | :36:18. | |
18 months, but here they come, pushing forward now with Adam Lang. | :36:19. | :36:24. | |
Dzsudzsak. Away from Vieirinha, in towards Szalai, putting real | :36:25. | :36:32. | |
pressure on Pepe. It is a good ball into the box. Dzsudzsak again with | :36:33. | :36:35. | |
that little bit of extra quality. Pepe just about getting their in | :36:36. | :36:37. | |
time. The first corner of the match for | :36:38. | :36:54. | |
Hungary. Whipped in by Dudek. It was an opportunity there for Juhasz, but | :36:55. | :37:02. | |
now I wait comes Nani at full told. Hurtling towards Adam Lang. And | :37:03. | :37:08. | |
lying doing well to hold him up. Albeit at the expense of a corner -- | :37:09. | :37:13. | |
Adam Lang doing well. Nani just showed him a bit too much of the | :37:14. | :37:18. | |
ball there. Defending, in the end, just having enough pace just to with | :37:19. | :37:30. | |
it. -- just to deal with it. The Hungary and fans packed in the that | :37:31. | :37:37. | |
goal away to our right. Shell Moutinho, in towards Pepe. And | :37:38. | :37:45. | |
comfortable for Kiraly. That was a good run there, Pepe. Decent | :37:46. | :37:49. | |
delivery. The keeper comes and takes that. He will be happy with that. | :37:50. | :37:55. | |
Where do you stand on Pepe, because you get a bit of everything with | :37:56. | :37:59. | |
him, don't you? Clearly a very good player but there is another side to | :38:00. | :38:04. | |
his game. He can be a drama queen, as we know, but he has been an | :38:05. | :38:08. | |
outstanding defender, you can't argue. Formed a good partnership | :38:09. | :38:14. | |
with Kiraly as well. Car value, Ricardo Carvalho, still going strong | :38:15. | :38:22. | |
at 38. The oldest ever outfield player for Portugal. First touch for | :38:23. | :38:27. | |
Eliseu, the Benfica full-back who would love to get forward at any | :38:28. | :38:32. | |
opportunity. Something Portugal do, push both full-backs really high and | :38:33. | :38:40. | |
wide. Vieirinha has got up well on this nearside, taking the pass from | :38:41. | :38:44. | |
Joao Mario. Vieirinha in towards Ronaldo. Chasing after it is Lovren | :38:45. | :39:04. | |
church. He is unlucky. -- Lovren Clement Ric -- Lovrencic. | :39:05. | :39:13. | |
That is where Hungary have got to do better coming out. Better technique | :39:14. | :39:22. | |
again. Keep possession when you get it back. It is very hot here as | :39:23. | :39:25. | |
well, I wonder if that will change some of the tactics the tempo a | :39:26. | :39:30. | |
little bit. It doesn't seem to be stopping Portugal. I think at | :39:31. | :39:36. | |
kick-off time it was still some 30 degrees. Maybe a bit more. | :39:37. | :39:43. | |
Cristiano Ronaldo winning his 129th cap for Portugal. The previous | :39:44. | :39:56. | |
record-holder was Luis Figo, who he beat in the last game. Moutinho. | :39:57. | :40:06. | |
Again, Vieirinha is available on this nearside. Gomes. Elek, one of | :40:07. | :40:22. | |
those coming into the Hungary and team, making the lock. And it will | :40:23. | :40:30. | |
be another corner for Portugal, their third in the first ten minutes | :40:31. | :40:39. | |
of the game. Poll of this running is have a -- all of this running is | :40:40. | :40:47. | |
wearing down the Hungarian players. Guzmics doing his best to keep tabs | :40:48. | :40:53. | |
on Pepe. A free header for, whipping that one in, Nani! Ronaldo was right | :40:54. | :41:00. | |
behind him as well. Hoping that the ball would land on his head. Looking | :41:01. | :41:07. | |
at Nani, almost too anxious. There is a lot of pace on the ball. He | :41:08. | :41:13. | |
should be doing there. Ronaldo would not have been happy either. He was | :41:14. | :41:14. | |
coming in behind him. Szalai challenged by Ricardo | :41:15. | :41:23. | |
Carvalho. Adam Lang will take the throwing, he | :41:24. | :41:43. | |
would normally be in the centre of defence, with Fiona Dunne Fiola | :41:44. | :41:50. | |
still injured, he is filling in at right back. Here is Balazs | :41:51. | :41:58. | |
Dzsudzsak. Free kick given against Joao Mario. Well, that's just | :41:59. | :42:02. | |
stupid, isn't it? Just inviting pressure. Just runs into the back of | :42:03. | :42:08. | |
him. OK, he's clever, don't give him a opportunity to fall over. Rui | :42:09. | :42:15. | |
Patricio in the Portuguese goal has had virtually nothing to do in the | :42:16. | :42:26. | |
tournament so far. Lovrencsics has come to the nearside too. But I | :42:27. | :42:29. | |
think Dudek will take this one. Just kept away from Zoltan Gera. | :42:30. | :42:59. | |
Nani putting some pressure on, and diving in those Guzmics. Martin | :43:00. | :43:03. | |
Atkinson reaching straight for his pocket. No question about it. | :43:04. | :43:11. | |
Guzmics there, he is frightened of Nani's pace. That is what happened | :43:12. | :43:15. | |
when wide players play in central positions, central defenders lunge | :43:16. | :43:19. | |
in. You could see what was going to happen about two or three seconds | :43:20. | :43:23. | |
before he did it. He made his mind up that he has to adjust and family | :43:24. | :43:30. | |
Nani away from the goal -- ferry Nani away from the goal. More | :43:31. | :43:38. | |
Portuguese pressure. Still Gabor Kiraly has not really been tested. | :43:39. | :43:52. | |
There is the intended target, no doubt. Moutinho with the delivery. | :43:53. | :43:59. | |
Flag goes up on the nearside, which I presume would be against Cristiano | :44:00. | :44:00. | |
Ronaldo. Just about got that right. That's | :44:01. | :44:12. | |
what Ronaldo does though, just tries to pull off the shoulder of the | :44:13. | :44:16. | |
defender. Teetering on the edge, trying to gain an advantage. | :44:17. | :44:22. | |
Much-publicised, of course, the fact he hasn't scored in the opening | :44:23. | :44:26. | |
couple of matches for Portugal, but his record in the opening matches in | :44:27. | :44:32. | |
finals is not bad. Six goals in the 14 games before this. It is at the | :44:33. | :44:35. | |
World Cup where we have not really seen him shine so far. | :44:36. | :44:43. | |
Nani, by the way, almost up to 100 caps for his country. On 99 now. He | :44:44. | :44:51. | |
has certainly benefited from playing more regularly the last couple of | :44:52. | :44:57. | |
seasons, firstly at Sporting, and then in the campaign that has just | :44:58. | :45:01. | |
finished with Senna but she of Turkey. Nani is capable of great | :45:02. | :45:05. | |
things, no doubt. Of course he has scored their only goal of the | :45:06. | :45:09. | |
tournament so far. Just needs to develop that partnership in the | :45:10. | :45:13. | |
centre with Ronaldo. The pressure now being put on Korhut, who has | :45:14. | :45:19. | |
come in at left-back today. Lazok very much the back-up to Tamas | :45:20. | :45:28. | |
Kadar, only one appearance in qualifying. Whipped in by Vieirinha | :45:29. | :45:36. | |
come onto the head of an elbow. It will be another corner. Its | :45:37. | :45:41. | |
Ronaldo's movement, just trying to get across the defender. He has got | :45:42. | :45:48. | |
great athleticism, Renaldo. Tremendous spring to go with it. | :45:49. | :45:59. | |
Mixing up the corner routine. Which he will have the chance to do once | :46:00. | :46:04. | |
more. Hungary will have expected this, when they? Very much so. They | :46:05. | :46:11. | |
want to find that bit of quality, beat the first defender. | :46:12. | :46:18. | |
Moutinho in, the scuffed shot high Andre Gomes. And a goal kick to | :46:19. | :46:30. | |
Hungary. A very hot looking Gabor Kiraly. | :46:31. | :46:46. | |
All the talk about Renaldo, but for me he's an outstanding. You never | :46:47. | :46:52. | |
see him shy away from anything. He gets a chance today, no drop in | :46:53. | :46:56. | |
confidence. Zoltan Gera. Space here for Balazs | :46:57. | :47:14. | |
Dzsudzsak. Neat and tidy play and almost bringing his team-mate into | :47:15. | :47:15. | |
the game. Flick from Vieirinha, to Nani. They | :47:16. | :47:38. | |
can face lovely football, Portugal. Semifinalists four years ago. | :47:39. | :47:45. | |
Switching this ball from side to side, trying to pull Hungary out a | :47:46. | :47:54. | |
little bit. Szalai pulls it back for Hungary, away to the far side. In | :47:55. | :48:06. | |
towards Szalai! He again had Pepe at full stretch. That's what they're | :48:07. | :48:10. | |
going to do when they get the opportunity on the break. Decent | :48:11. | :48:16. | |
ball income well defended by Pepe. Szalai is a huge man, he has to be | :48:17. | :48:22. | |
right on his toes. Not quite mobile enough to get away from Pepe, there. | :48:23. | :48:27. | |
No goals in the other match in the group between Iceland and Austria, | :48:28. | :48:36. | |
in Paris. Goalless, there. Dzsudzsak delivers the ball. Away by Nani, | :48:37. | :48:40. | |
Zoltan Gera with the shot and the gold! Zoltan Gera for Hungary! How | :48:41. | :48:50. | |
about that! What a thunderous drive, low into the net past Rui Patricio. | :48:51. | :48:55. | |
Portugal are stunned. Hungary lead here in the 19th minute of the game. | :48:56. | :49:02. | |
And the man who has scored the goal, Zoltan Gera! Well, it's a stunning | :49:03. | :49:18. | |
strike. He just takes it down, goes into his path and what a strike that | :49:19. | :49:23. | |
is. It's as sweet as you like off his left foot. Hit like an arrow on | :49:24. | :49:35. | |
the half volley, beautiful strike. Well, he doesn't normally play as | :49:36. | :49:43. | |
far forward, he's quite deep lying but at 37 years of age he scored the | :49:44. | :49:47. | |
winning goal in the Hungarian cup final last month and now he's scored | :49:48. | :49:54. | |
a big, big goal here. Well, that's really set this game up now. It | :49:55. | :49:59. | |
shows you, doesn't it, no matter what age you are, if you've got that | :50:00. | :50:05. | |
technique and the know-how... And now we will see what Portugal are | :50:06. | :50:13. | |
really made of. It's an early day of reckoning for them, potentially. It | :50:14. | :50:21. | |
just shows you, if you have that threat and they managed to get a | :50:22. | :50:25. | |
corner from the little break down the right hand side... They are in | :50:26. | :50:30. | |
dreamland, Hungary. The ball played on towards Szalai. | :50:31. | :50:49. | |
Chased down! Rui Patricio was in all sort of trouble there, but gets the | :50:50. | :50:53. | |
free kick from the challenge from the Hungarian striker. Well, Pepe | :50:54. | :51:01. | |
put him into trouble there. He was taking liberties trying to chip that | :51:02. | :51:04. | |
one out. You should be clearing that one long, for me. There's a nice | :51:05. | :51:11. | |
shape to Portugal but nothing going their way at the moment. There has | :51:12. | :51:16. | |
been a nice shape all tournament but there hasn't really been the end | :51:17. | :51:20. | |
product, has there? No, it's not clicking. Here's the goal from | :51:21. | :51:28. | |
Zoltan Gera. What a drive into the bottom corner of the net. Superb | :51:29. | :51:34. | |
strike. And at the same time that goal was going in, there was another | :51:35. | :51:40. | |
-- a goal in the other match in the game between Iceland and Austria in | :51:41. | :51:43. | |
the Stade de France in Paris, Iceland taking the lead. So, Iceland | :51:44. | :51:50. | |
leading, Hungary leading, how does that affect the group at the moment? | :51:51. | :51:55. | |
Hungary still top on seven points if the scores stay like this, Iceland | :51:56. | :52:00. | |
second on five, Portugal would have two and Austria bringing up the rear | :52:01. | :52:07. | |
with one. As it stands, England would be playing Iceland in the last | :52:08. | :52:14. | |
extreme. Population of 330,000, almost the size of Coventry, isn't | :52:15. | :52:18. | |
it? Here come Portugal looking for an instant response. Halfway through | :52:19. | :52:27. | |
the first half. That familiar pose, a picture of concentration, | :52:28. | :52:33. | |
Cristiano Ronaldo... Well, that is now 37 free kicks for the national | :52:34. | :52:36. | |
team directed at goal without one ending up in the back of the net. | :52:37. | :52:41. | |
Just not going his way at the moment. There's no smile on his face | :52:42. | :52:49. | |
like there was the other evening. He didn't look terribly happy when they | :52:50. | :52:54. | |
went for a team stroll earlier today when the reporter, whoever it was, | :52:55. | :52:59. | |
started to ask him some questions. Quickly relieving him of his | :53:00. | :53:03. | |
microphone and despatching it into the lake alongside which the players | :53:04. | :53:08. | |
were walking. Ronaldo with the touch, to Joao Moutinho. Joao Mario | :53:09. | :53:21. | |
now, tipped away first of all by... Szalai looks more confident. The | :53:22. | :53:30. | |
shot brings a save from Rui Patricio. Well, Pepe just falls over | :53:31. | :53:40. | |
here. It's far too easy. All over the place, Portugal. Certainly | :53:41. | :53:51. | |
reeling after that goal, having had most of the play in the opening 15 | :53:52. | :53:53. | |
minutes or so. It will be a throw for Hungary. You | :53:54. | :54:03. | |
can see them growing in confidence, can't you? Szalai running at his | :54:04. | :54:08. | |
defender. Their tails are up big-time. And why not? They've only | :54:09. | :54:15. | |
lost two of their last 14 games they've played, and one of those was | :54:16. | :54:20. | |
against world champions Germany, a week before this tournament started, | :54:21. | :54:25. | |
they were beaten in Gelsenkirchen by two goals to nil. | :54:26. | :54:37. | |
The referee just bringing the game back. Interesting now to look for | :54:38. | :54:44. | |
the leaders in this Portugal team, who is going to grab this game by | :54:45. | :54:48. | |
the scruff of the neck? We haven't seen Moutinho nearly enough in that | :54:49. | :54:54. | |
midfield engine room. He normally passes the ball so well. Pepe going | :54:55. | :55:02. | |
long, and too long, for Ronaldo. If he looks inside, Gomes is available. | :55:03. | :55:09. | |
Just getting carried away looking for Ronaldo again. He acknowledges | :55:10. | :55:13. | |
the past, but there's too much on it. For all that Portugal have had | :55:14. | :55:21. | |
the ball in the final third in and around the penalty area, Gabor | :55:22. | :55:26. | |
Kiraly hasn't actually had a save to make so far. | :55:27. | :55:33. | |
No come he hasn't. You wonder whether that belief is starting to | :55:34. | :55:44. | |
add away -- to ebb away from these Portugal players. Enough experience | :55:45. | :55:46. | |
out there. Pressure again, this time Pepe is | :55:47. | :56:00. | |
there waiting for it. Moutinho looking for the run of Nani. He will | :56:01. | :56:07. | |
get their head of Korhut. Three to aim at alongside him in the middle. | :56:08. | :56:15. | |
Dzsudzsak back helping out as well. Here is Vieirinha. Trying to think | :56:16. | :56:22. | |
that one in, and the goal-scorer, Zoltan Gera, sticks his leg out. The | :56:23. | :56:28. | |
Hungarian defence came up really well there. He would have been | :56:29. | :56:40. | |
offside. Good movement from Elek. Gomes, trying to slide it through to | :56:41. | :56:42. | |
Ronaldo. Safety first. Szalai, challenged by Ricardo | :56:43. | :57:11. | |
Carvalho. Zoltan Gera in there just pointing out his team-mates, | :57:12. | :57:16. | |
shouting instructions. Just play everything simple. Invaluable, that | :57:17. | :57:21. | |
experience in the middle of the park. Certainly bags of experience, | :57:22. | :57:30. | |
Gera. Martin Atkinson not happy, he wants the game roared back for the | :57:31. | :57:36. | |
free kick, which Portugal tried to take very quickly. He has time to | :57:37. | :57:39. | |
give a booking to Roland Juhasz. Well, as it stands, Roland Juhasz | :57:40. | :57:58. | |
will be OK for a match in the last 16, it's his first yellow of the | :57:59. | :58:03. | |
tournament. It is, but he won't want to get sent off, will he? Surely. | :58:04. | :58:13. | |
Will there be a different outcome this time? Kiraly on his toes, | :58:14. | :58:21. | |
Ronaldo blasts! And saved by Hungary's 40-year-old keeper and | :58:22. | :58:25. | |
behind for a corner. It's a hell of a long way out, you would almost | :58:26. | :58:32. | |
expect him to save that at 50! We have seen sometimes perhaps | :58:33. | :58:34. | |
reputations make those free kicks harder to deal with. Definitely. But | :58:35. | :58:39. | |
he did well there and concentrated throughout. Moutinho, Kiraly staying | :58:40. | :58:47. | |
on his line. Carvalho up. Struggling to get the ball away, it was Korhut | :58:48. | :58:51. | |
who thumped it against one of his team-mates. Moutinho, a little wider | :58:52. | :58:56. | |
this time. Good, steady player, William | :58:57. | :59:21. | |
Carvalho. Never looks unhurried in possession. They will need to get | :59:22. | :59:27. | |
Ronaldo more in the game. I wonder if he will come and play a bit more | :59:28. | :59:31. | |
central, maybe a free role for him. Coming close to the ball and now | :59:32. | :59:36. | |
briefly in possession. Moutinho, moving it out to this nearside. | :59:37. | :59:38. | |
Blocked by Dzsudzsak. Good running by Joao Mario. The flag | :59:39. | :59:56. | |
up straightaway. Offside. Free kick, Hungary. Hungary again holding a | :59:57. | :00:00. | |
very good line. This is the free kick. He puts lengthier power on it. | :00:01. | :00:08. | |
Comfortable for the keeper. Not really getting the movement on that | :00:09. | :00:10. | |
that he once. 15 minutes to go to half-time. One | :00:11. | :00:27. | |
goal here in Lyon, and one in Paris, the old one in the group between | :00:28. | :00:32. | |
Iceland and Austria. Bodvarsson for Iceland. So as it stands England | :00:33. | :00:36. | |
with play Iceland in the second round. William Carvalho Ford. Andrew | :00:37. | :00:52. | |
a quick look at the group table as it stands, with Hungary top of the | :00:53. | :00:59. | |
pile on seven points as it stands. Iceland would be on fire. Portugal | :01:00. | :01:04. | |
on two, Austria on one. So Portugal in a bit of a hole. We certainly | :01:05. | :01:11. | |
didn't expect this. I think they are more concerned with their form at | :01:12. | :01:14. | |
the moment. Not even looking like scoring. Collected by Mihaly Korhut. | :01:15. | :01:24. | |
Just managing to keep the ball in play. Dzsudzsak Trent Head, | :01:25. | :01:30. | |
collected by Adam Pinter. Pinter ultimately losing out to William, | :01:31. | :01:37. | |
who was a little dozy in possession. Pentad is ever so well. We know | :01:38. | :01:40. | |
William Carvalho is a very good player. Just sleeping a little bit | :01:41. | :01:48. | |
there. -- Pinter did ever so well. Portugal just looking for that | :01:49. | :01:51. | |
player to get them going. They need some inspiration. Pinter, one of | :01:52. | :02:02. | |
those from: charas, just won the double in Hungary -- from | :02:03. | :02:11. | |
Ferencsvaros. A chance now for Lovrencsics to look for Szalai. Pepe | :02:12. | :02:18. | |
is there. The defending, nice and comfortable. Back to Rui Patricio. | :02:19. | :02:28. | |
Worked forward beautifully by Carvalho. Joao Mario has swapped | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
sides here with Andre Gomes. Almost onto the head of Ronaldo. Headed | :02:34. | :02:46. | |
away. Now Elek. You can't help but think all of these crosses are | :02:47. | :02:51. | |
playing into the hands of Hungary's central defenders. | :02:52. | :03:07. | |
Dzsudzsak with a little ball infield. They are playing some | :03:08. | :03:19. | |
decent football in the first half. And why not? Just keep the ball. | :03:20. | :03:22. | |
They are in charge. Being very professional. Made plenty of changes | :03:23. | :03:30. | |
so far, the manager. You will be pleased with what he has seen so | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
far. He will be a lot happier with Fernando Santos, the way things | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
stand at the moment. Familiar face on the touchline at European | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
Championships. He was in charge of Greece four years ago. Took them to | :03:44. | :03:50. | |
the quarterfinals. And Zoltan Gera, having lost the ball, commits a foul | :03:51. | :03:53. | |
and gives Martin Atkinson choice but to book him. He knows, Gera. Gomes | :03:54. | :04:07. | |
was on him in a flash. It is almost a rugby tackle. It is that man | :04:08. | :04:25. | |
again, I feel, Ronaldo. 11 minutes to go to half-time. Everyone back | :04:26. | :04:34. | |
behind the ball for Hungary. Right now though, statuesque as ever in | :04:35. | :04:43. | |
this scenario. Here it comes. Kiraly able to watch it go sailing into the | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
first couple of rows into the crowd. Another one goes by. This time he | :04:49. | :04:51. | |
really opens up. Just doesn't get it right at all. He really thumped the | :04:52. | :04:58. | |
ball. It is a very difficult skill to get it up and over the wall and | :04:59. | :05:04. | |
then on target. I think he's relieved, the goalkeeper. I think he | :05:05. | :05:11. | |
left his scoring boots back in Spain somewhere. There's no doubt Kiraly | :05:12. | :05:15. | |
hasn't been as half as busy as he would have been expecting so far in | :05:16. | :05:17. | |
this game, I'm sure. LSA newcomer one of the two changes | :05:18. | :05:35. | |
for Portugal today. Really surprised Sanches did not start the game. They | :05:36. | :05:40. | |
really good talent. The ball whipped in by the arena. -- by Vieirinha. | :05:41. | :05:53. | |
You need those Game Changers, people who run and players. The second | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
youngest player here, Renato Sanches. A couple of months older | :05:58. | :06:02. | |
than Marcus Rashford. LSA you surging forward, smart challenge by | :06:03. | :06:14. | |
Lovrencsics. Everyone is doing their job perfectly in this Hungary and | :06:15. | :06:17. | |
team. They know their limitations, they do everything very well. Nine | :06:18. | :06:23. | |
minutes to go to the break, plus any added time. Moutinho with the | :06:24. | :06:27. | |
corner, the seventh of this first half for Portugal. Corral it was | :06:28. | :06:34. | |
first to it. You wondered could he catch that. Vieirinha. Ahead of | :06:35. | :06:45. | |
Ronaldo. Kept in by Moutinho, collected by Joao Mario. Too long. | :06:46. | :06:55. | |
I just don't understand why he doesn't catch that, it just relieves | :06:56. | :07:02. | |
all the pressure. Maybe he doesn't trust himself. Ronaldo saying he | :07:03. | :07:05. | |
wanted at that back post, that cross isn't good enough. From Mario. | :07:06. | :07:18. | |
All the noise in the stadium being made by the Hungary supporters. | :07:19. | :07:31. | |
News coming through from the other game, the Iceland, Austria match. | :07:32. | :07:42. | |
Dragovic has just missed a penalty for Austria, so it remains Iceland | :07:43. | :07:47. | |
1-0 Austria. We will show you that at half-time, along with the girls | :07:48. | :07:50. | |
that separates the two teams, scored by Bodvarsson. -- the goal that | :07:51. | :08:00. | |
separates. Portugal, having started very well, if you have just joined | :08:01. | :08:04. | |
our coverage, having much of the play in the opening 15, 20 minutes. | :08:05. | :08:10. | |
But Gera with a cracker from outside of the penalty area. They have just | :08:11. | :08:15. | |
been sloppy, Portugal, in that final third particularly. Not moving the | :08:16. | :08:28. | |
ball that difficultly. Corporate has slotted into the team really well. | :08:29. | :08:35. | |
Two points won't cut the mustard for Portugal. They need to dig deep and | :08:36. | :08:37. | |
find a way back into this match. Joao Mario into Nani. Moutinho. | :08:38. | :08:56. | |
Trying to get in behind Dzsudzsak. They just haven't got the precision | :08:57. | :09:00. | |
in their player today. Need to find something from somewhere. Began the | :09:01. | :09:09. | |
long ball from Pepe, and the long leg of Juhasz. Not taking any | :09:10. | :09:13. | |
chances with Ronaldo right behind him. Ronaldo keen to have a go | :09:14. | :09:19. | |
himself. No offside flag, which Hungary were looking for. The flag | :09:20. | :09:25. | |
is at this time, it won't count. The Portuguese fans thought they had | :09:26. | :09:30. | |
scored but the flag was raised, way before the ball went into the back | :09:31. | :09:39. | |
of the net. Just about offside. The linesman has done ever so well. | :09:40. | :09:46. | |
Portugal taking a short corner. I thought for overboard Ronaldo was | :09:47. | :09:49. | |
going to hit it. Just seem to lack confidence, came back onto his left | :09:50. | :09:59. | |
foot. That is Troisi has been caught in possession in the last five | :10:00. | :10:07. | |
minutes or so. They good ball out wide -- twice he has been caught in | :10:08. | :10:11. | |
possession. Periodically there's a real threat about Hungary pushing | :10:12. | :10:16. | |
forward. William Carvalho, typical of the way they have played in the | :10:17. | :10:19. | |
first time. Almost falling asleep. Too casual. Pepe to the rescue | :10:20. | :10:28. | |
again. They are almost in a trance, some of these Portuguese players. | :10:29. | :10:42. | |
Dzsudzsak with the delivery. Lightning did not strike twice there | :10:43. | :10:49. | |
with Zoltan Gera, but any time the ball drops at his feast within range | :10:50. | :10:54. | |
of the penalty area, I am sure he will have a crack. They had more | :10:55. | :10:59. | |
shots from outside of the penalty area, Hungary, than any other team | :11:00. | :11:02. | |
in the tournament the first two matches played. So we should be | :11:03. | :11:12. | |
surprised to see them let fly any opportunity they get. | :11:13. | :11:25. | |
He will be happy to take his time here. Guzmics forward towards | :11:26. | :11:37. | |
Szalai. Lovrencsics, just a little too robust. Martin Atkinson well | :11:38. | :11:47. | |
placed. Lovrencsics gives a free kick away. Working hard for his | :11:48. | :11:52. | |
team. A little nudge forward, into Nani from Ronaldo! 1-1. Nani's | :11:53. | :11:59. | |
second goal of this European Championship, Portugal back in the | :12:00. | :12:03. | |
game and potentially back in the competition, with three minutes to | :12:04. | :12:08. | |
go to half-time! Hungary 1-1 Portugal! This is the reaction we | :12:09. | :12:15. | |
are asking for, and it comes from Nani. Great finish on his left foot. | :12:16. | :12:20. | |
He was onto it in a flash. You still feel that you should do better with | :12:21. | :12:24. | |
that. Beaten by the pace of it. Just waiting for it over his left | :12:25. | :12:29. | |
shoulder. The keeper will be ever so disappointed to let that one in on | :12:30. | :12:33. | |
his near post. He just goes down in stages. They were too quick and too | :12:34. | :12:45. | |
slick. That's what they are capable of. Haven't done enough so far and | :12:46. | :12:50. | |
then a moment of magic, a short list in defiance, and they are back in | :12:51. | :12:56. | |
the game. Lovely ball through from Cristiano Ronaldo, dispatched into | :12:57. | :13:03. | |
the net by Nani. Maybe we will see a different Portugal now. Confidence. | :13:04. | :13:08. | |
It is a game of confidence. Nani wants more. Goalkick. | :13:09. | :13:21. | |
A very deep cross. The defenders have got to get tighter, got to get | :13:22. | :13:28. | |
earlier to him. Just a free run into the box. Nice ball for Ronaldo. | :13:29. | :13:35. | |
Weighted pass. Kiraly was beaten by the pace of that shot. He was. The | :13:36. | :13:41. | |
fading years, your reflexes start to go. Just not sharp enough, was he? | :13:42. | :13:48. | |
Nani unable to quite control. Guzmics gets it away. Pepe. | :13:49. | :13:55. | |
He manages to give the ball away twice in the space of about five | :13:56. | :14:02. | |
seconds. Dzsudzsak, Szalai. Attempted ball out, back to Adam | :14:03. | :14:08. | |
Szalai, and that was worth keeping an eye on! You talk about the shots | :14:09. | :14:11. | |
they have from distance, and that one was almost grey of the Rovers | :14:12. | :14:16. | |
star. Just kidding Patricio nice and honest on his line. A handy reminder | :14:17. | :14:23. | |
for Rui Patricio not to go wandering around too far. | :14:24. | :14:33. | |
The Portuguese fans trying to lift their team. They are greatly | :14:34. | :14:42. | |
outnumbered here in the stadium in Lyon. Portugal trying to finish with | :14:43. | :14:46. | |
a flourish will stop Andre Gomes looking to let fly. Straight into | :14:47. | :14:54. | |
the midriff of Kiraly. A lot better from Gomes, onto his right foot. | :14:55. | :15:06. | |
Just the one minute of added time and we're just going into that | :15:07. | :15:09. | |
minute now. Moutinho with time and space. Last | :15:10. | :15:29. | |
chance in this first half. Joao Mario, in to Nani. Vieirinha well | :15:30. | :15:34. | |
forward here, nearside. Portugal finishing be half more | :15:35. | :15:49. | |
strongly here, with Nani's attempted delivery in here. | :15:50. | :16:01. | |
William Carvalho. The last few seconds of added time at the end of | :16:02. | :16:05. | |
this first half. Joao Mario. Challenge by Elek, and Martin | :16:06. | :16:20. | |
Atkinson blows the half-time whistle. Very interesting first | :16:21. | :16:24. | |
half, Hungary putting the cat amongst the pigeons with a | :16:25. | :16:30. | |
thunderbolt from 37-year-old Zoltan Gera 19 minutes in, Nani bringing | :16:31. | :16:34. | |
Portugal back into the Game three minutes before half-time. All to | :16:35. | :16:41. | |
play for in the second half at the Stade Lyon. At the break it is | :16:42. | :16:47. | |
Hungary 1-1 Portugal. This is how things currently stand in Group F. | :16:48. | :16:52. | |
Hungary are now top of the group just ahead of Iceland, same points. | :16:53. | :16:58. | |
As it stands, England will play Iceland, the second team in that | :16:59. | :17:02. | |
group, and Portugal will go through as well. It could change in many | :17:03. | :17:06. | |
different ways, but actually an exciting first half. It has been an | :17:07. | :17:11. | |
exciting first half. That's the best case scenario for England, I think | :17:12. | :17:16. | |
we would take that. I think Portugal will be the happier team going in at | :17:17. | :17:22. | |
half-time, the confidence they will have got from that goal, the relief | :17:23. | :17:26. | |
from that goal. It's a good time for them to score. They will be the ones | :17:27. | :17:30. | |
going out to win this game now. What have you made a bid committee airy? | :17:31. | :17:34. | |
It was an amazing goal from Gera and I thought Hungary looked pretty | :17:35. | :17:42. | |
comfortable at times. The way they used the field, Portugal, you saw a | :17:43. | :17:49. | |
lot of Vieirinha on the right but the left wing was not really | :17:50. | :17:52. | |
occupied. The only time that Ronaldo went there, he actually made a great | :17:53. | :17:57. | |
pass. I suppose that's the problem with having Ronaldo on the left-hand | :17:58. | :18:00. | |
side, he likes to drift in and go wherever he wants to. You end up | :18:01. | :18:05. | |
being a bit unbalanced. Yes, but that you would then like a | :18:06. | :18:08. | |
-- you would then like Eliseu to go and occupied that spot. You don't | :18:09. | :18:17. | |
make them really run and move and it's easier to defend. If you're the | :18:18. | :18:22. | |
left winger or the striker, you should do it. You occupy the | :18:23. | :18:28. | |
full-back so there is a bigger space between the full-back and the | :18:29. | :18:31. | |
centre-half and then Nani has more space to run, like we saw with the | :18:32. | :18:36. | |
goal. For the team I think they need Ronaldo or the full-back to play a | :18:37. | :18:39. | |
lot higher to get the other full-back in the Hungary team | :18:40. | :18:42. | |
thinking at the moment he's in the book, he is narrow, nothing to think | :18:43. | :18:46. | |
about. They came here with very good Lex pecked age and in this | :18:47. | :18:49. | |
tournament, Hungary, but have played some good stuff on the | :18:50. | :18:52. | |
counterattack. Played some really good stuff. Played with confidence. | :18:53. | :18:56. | |
They've been created. They've been a bit unlucky with some other chances | :18:57. | :19:01. | |
not to go 2-0 up in the game. Your old team-mate from Fulham scored a | :19:02. | :19:06. | |
cracking goal, Zoltan Gera. I did a feature on him and showcased his | :19:07. | :19:12. | |
technical ability. He has scored some cracking goals in his career | :19:13. | :19:15. | |
but this will be the one he's pleased with the most for his | :19:16. | :19:20. | |
country. What a half volley. Absolutely fantastic. He's deserved | :19:21. | :19:23. | |
it with the performances he's put in in this tournament. At that point | :19:24. | :19:28. | |
they were in cruise control, playing some good stuff. Portugal have been | :19:29. | :19:32. | |
a huge let down for me and that goal will give them a new lease of life | :19:33. | :19:36. | |
in the second half. Vital goal, it gets them back into it right at the | :19:37. | :19:41. | |
right time. Perfect timing. The position Ronaldo took up, it's a | :19:42. | :19:45. | |
place where he's used to playing all the time for Real Madrid, inside | :19:46. | :19:52. | |
left. Rerun forces him to make the pass because it's a great run from | :19:53. | :19:56. | |
Nani, off the shoulder of the defender. He takes it early which I | :19:57. | :19:59. | |
think surprises the goalkeeper, with his left foot. What I like about the | :20:00. | :20:08. | |
goal, Andre Gomez making the run and Eliseu and then Ronaldo can pick the | :20:09. | :20:13. | |
past four Nani. You have to say that the centre bank dropped a bit too | :20:14. | :20:17. | |
early, he should have stayed online with his back four. We talk about | :20:18. | :20:22. | |
Ronaldo inevitably. Brilliant assist there but try to that another night | :20:23. | :20:29. | |
of frustration, largely. Yeah, big frustrations. He's trying hard | :20:30. | :20:32. | |
enough again. They defended well, Hungary. Well organised. He's trying | :20:33. | :20:39. | |
to get in there and uses aerial ability. Why does no one in the team | :20:40. | :20:42. | |
say, enough is enough, let me take one! He is a big-time player, fair | :20:43. | :20:47. | |
enough, but it's absolutely ridiculous. He runs the show. I | :20:48. | :20:54. | |
think it says something about his team-mates, maybe they are all in | :20:55. | :20:57. | |
awe of him a bit and they don't have the confidence to do that. Gareth | :20:58. | :21:02. | |
Bale does it a little bit of a certain extent at Real Madrid. You | :21:03. | :21:05. | |
need someone in a team to say listen to me you've missed a load, it's my | :21:06. | :21:10. | |
turn. There is one thing you can say also come across it! The last one he | :21:11. | :21:14. | |
had, put it in the box and see if someone can score. Sometimes no one | :21:15. | :21:21. | |
wants to tell the main man. I would have said it, I know you would have | :21:22. | :21:25. | |
done it... I wouldn't have been taking it! I would have said someone | :21:26. | :21:31. | |
else take it! Portugal, you've already mentioned the fact that they | :21:32. | :21:34. | |
are not getting any width on the left, they are very narrow at times. | :21:35. | :21:40. | |
It is very narrow. I mean, it's very easy for the Hungary team to defend. | :21:41. | :21:47. | |
Look at this. The guy is carrying the ball there, Vieirinha, no one in | :21:48. | :21:50. | |
front of him to play with and if he wants to switch the play, he cannot | :21:51. | :21:53. | |
switch the play. It's easy to defend. When you play as a team that | :21:54. | :21:59. | |
are sitting back, so to speak, you've got to put the ball wide, not | :22:00. | :22:03. | |
necessarily to cross it but to shift the back four and to use them. Keep | :22:04. | :22:09. | |
probing and then someone has got to make a mistake positionally. When | :22:10. | :22:14. | |
you attack, make the pitch as big as you possibly can. They are only | :22:15. | :22:17. | |
playing the width of the box, so it's going to be easy for Hungary to | :22:18. | :22:24. | |
play. Nani has got two goals now for Portugal, of course. He's been | :22:25. | :22:29. | |
involved in the play in a position that we're not accustomed to seeing | :22:30. | :22:34. | |
him particularly. Yeah, he's playing in the striker's position. He could | :22:35. | :22:41. | |
have scored. But look at Ronaldo's desire there. He's got to get his | :22:42. | :22:46. | |
head up there. That was a frustration with Nani for me when I | :22:47. | :22:49. | |
played with him. He had all the ability in the world but sometimes | :22:50. | :22:59. | |
he'd doesn't see other players. That is frustration from Ronaldo because | :23:00. | :23:02. | |
he has run 80 or 90 metres to get there. That is a good chance as | :23:03. | :23:12. | |
well. He's a talented boy. It's the unpredictability of him that | :23:13. | :23:15. | |
frustrates. I think he's better wide, where he can see things as | :23:16. | :23:19. | |
he's running with the ball. Upfront he gets a bit lost sometimes, but | :23:20. | :23:25. | |
fair play, he's got back into it. Let's bring you up-to-date with the | :23:26. | :23:28. | |
action in the other game in this group, Iceland against Austria. | :23:29. | :23:34. | |
Commentary from Guy Mowbray and Robbie Savage. | :23:35. | :23:37. | |
COMMENTATOR: Iceland are enjoying plenty of the ball. Gudmundsson | :23:38. | :23:50. | |
again, he tried his luck! What a terrific strike. Look at the way the | :23:51. | :23:57. | |
ball is moving. It's come off the corner of the post and bar. I think | :23:58. | :24:03. | |
most of the neutrals inside the ground seemed to have sided with | :24:04. | :24:08. | |
Iceland. Arnautovic is in here, it's an awful mistake! Arnautovic can't | :24:09. | :24:16. | |
make Iceland pay, but the Iceland goalkeeper, Al -- Haldorsson, has | :24:17. | :24:29. | |
got away with one. What was Haldorsson doing? | :24:30. | :24:35. | |
Started to come for it and went back, there is a chance now, and | :24:36. | :24:44. | |
there is a goal for Iceland! Turned in by Bodvarsson. It's a great throw | :24:45. | :24:56. | |
in from Gunnarson. The flick on and then Bodvarsson stretches out with | :24:57. | :25:03. | |
that right leg and puts it past Almer, who is rooted to the spot. | :25:04. | :25:07. | |
What a start for Iceland and they deserve it. Gunnarson is actually on | :25:08. | :25:13. | |
the pitch! 19 minutes played, Iceland 1-0 Austria. That is | :25:14. | :25:21. | |
Arnautovic. Very calmly plucked from the air by Haldorsson. A good strike | :25:22. | :25:30. | |
by Arnautovic on his left foot, but Haldorsson covered his near post | :25:31. | :25:35. | |
extremely well, casual the way he caught it. Dictating play now. Up to | :25:36. | :25:43. | |
wards Alaba. The referee has given a penalty, would you believe! Holding | :25:44. | :25:48. | |
is the call against Gunnarson on Alaba. It is Dragovic! Oh! He's | :25:49. | :26:03. | |
missed it. Massive let off. There you go, all set. Anything could | :26:04. | :26:07. | |
happen in this second half, who knows. The final set of group games | :26:08. | :26:11. | |
happens this evening with the Republic of Ireland needing to beat | :26:12. | :26:14. | |
Italy to go through all stop let's hear from Roy Keane and Martin | :26:15. | :26:18. | |
O'Neill. You have to be streetwise in this game, you're not out to make | :26:19. | :26:22. | |
friends. If you think we're in trouble here, then you are. You do | :26:23. | :26:26. | |
whatever you can to get the right result. If that is fouling the new | :26:27. | :26:36. | |
foul -- then you foul. It's not a crime. You might get a yellow card, | :26:37. | :26:42. | |
you might even get a red, or your team might win. Sacrifices. You've | :26:43. | :26:45. | |
got to make sacrifices for your team. Does that answer your | :26:46. | :26:50. | |
question? COMMENTATOR: Lukaku, it must be | :26:51. | :26:56. | |
three, it is! Lukaku's second of the game and there won't be any coming | :26:57. | :27:01. | |
back from this. I think that we've got our own recent memories | :27:02. | :27:04. | |
ourselves to inspire us, none more so than the night in October time | :27:05. | :27:09. | |
when we beat the world champions. As much as we'd enjoyed the days that | :27:10. | :27:12. | |
we've been here, we would like to stay a little bit longer. The | :27:13. | :27:16. | |
players know what they have to do and they are ready for it. | :27:17. | :27:21. | |
Well, the Republic will go through with a win, and they might be helped | :27:22. | :27:27. | |
by the fact that Italy have won Group E. The Italians will top the | :27:28. | :27:32. | |
group regardless, having already beaten Belgium, the only side who | :27:33. | :27:39. | |
can match them on six points. No such qualification worries for | :27:40. | :27:41. | |
Northern Ireland, they are through. Let's hear from their manager, | :27:42. | :27:46. | |
Michael O'Neill. Michael, can you sum up your pride in your team, | :27:47. | :27:50. | |
first of all, that you have made it through to the knockout stages? Yes, | :27:51. | :27:55. | |
I'm immensely proud of everyone. The players, the staff, everyone that's | :27:56. | :27:57. | |
contributed to making this tournament what it's been for us. | :27:58. | :28:02. | |
The association as well. All the staff here in France have done a | :28:03. | :28:05. | |
magnificent job in the preparation of the torment and the training | :28:06. | :28:10. | |
camp. The travel, the logistics. So much involved that the tournament, | :28:11. | :28:13. | |
particularly given this is the first time we've done this for such a long | :28:14. | :28:17. | |
time and the game has changed dramatically from the last time we | :28:18. | :28:21. | |
previously do it. I have to thank everyone for what they've done today | :28:22. | :28:24. | |
because they played a big part in making sure the team has the best | :28:25. | :28:28. | |
chance possible, and we've repaid that with going to the round of 16 | :28:29. | :28:32. | |
and the players are delighted. They are very tired today, it was a | :28:33. | :28:38. | |
late-night when the got back from Paris, the flight was delayed and by | :28:39. | :28:41. | |
the time we got back to our base it was to a. -- it was 2am. France or | :28:42. | :28:50. | |
Wales in the next round, what is your preference? I don't really have | :28:51. | :28:55. | |
a preference at this minute in time. In terms of progressing coming you | :28:56. | :28:59. | |
would obviously look at the two teams and they Wales would give you | :29:00. | :29:04. | |
a better opportunity for progression, but Wales are having a | :29:05. | :29:08. | |
good tournament. They won the group and Gareth Bale is playing very | :29:09. | :29:11. | |
well. We've played them recently as well. We know each other very well. | :29:12. | :29:16. | |
The French game is a special game because it's here in Lyon and the | :29:17. | :29:21. | |
host nation, it's always something special when we play the host | :29:22. | :29:24. | |
nation. The atmosphere will be fantastic in the stadium. Sometimes | :29:25. | :29:28. | |
backs to the wall but Northern Ireland have got through and they've | :29:29. | :29:31. | |
done really well to do that. They meet Wales or France in the next | :29:32. | :29:35. | |
round. They will take anyone, they are delighted to be through. We've | :29:36. | :29:39. | |
been walking around and there are a lot of Northern Ireland fans | :29:40. | :29:43. | |
delighted. Can you imagine what it's like back in Northern Ireland? They | :29:44. | :29:47. | |
must be going crazy, a country that loves football. What they've done | :29:48. | :29:51. | |
here, these guys will go down in history as greats in a Northern | :29:52. | :29:55. | |
Ireland shirt. It's becoming the tournament of the underdogs, isn't | :29:56. | :30:00. | |
it? Northern Ireland, Iceland, Wales winning the group. Everybody. Also | :30:01. | :30:04. | |
they topped their group in the qualifying, don't forget that. Their | :30:05. | :30:09. | |
goalkeeper yesterday basically alone allowed them to still be in France! | :30:10. | :30:17. | |
But the possibility of finishing third gives a lot of opportunities | :30:18. | :30:25. | |
to countries. They could beat France. Sorry? LAUGHTER | :30:26. | :30:33. | |
Anything is possible. Please. I went to the game yesterday and the | :30:34. | :30:37. | |
supporters, they didn't stop the whole way through. Back to our game, | :30:38. | :30:41. | |
1-1 at half-time, Portugal, are they going to do it? I think they will. I | :30:42. | :30:47. | |
would like to see them get a bit of a clique. My man, finally! Why have | :30:48. | :30:55. | |
you been? 50 odd million pounds and he hasn't played more than half an | :30:56. | :31:01. | |
hour. Let's rejoined the commentators. | :31:02. | :31:07. | |
COMMENTATOR: There has been a change for Hungary, Zoltan Gera the | :31:08. | :31:14. | |
goalkeeper going off, and being replaced by Barnabas Bese. Only his | :31:15. | :31:23. | |
second cap for Hungary. Normally a right back who can also play in the | :31:24. | :31:27. | |
centre of defence. Playing on the right-hand side here. A little bit | :31:28. | :31:33. | |
of a reshuffle for Hungary. Great to see Renato Sanches on the field for | :31:34. | :31:37. | |
the second half. Much hyped, really exciting young player, the | :31:38. | :31:41. | |
18-year-old. Very much so, and he runs beautifully with the ball. We | :31:42. | :31:46. | |
needed a lift, watching them in the last couple of games, never mind the | :31:47. | :31:51. | |
Portuguese team. It has been more of the same tonight. Now they are back | :31:52. | :31:55. | |
in the game, that half-time team talk would have been very important. | :31:56. | :31:59. | |
It is all about confidence now for Portugal. A second outing for the | :32:00. | :32:06. | |
senior side, having come through the under 20 setup. FA, given away. | :32:07. | :32:16. | |
Bese, knocking it forward to Szalai. Free kick Hungary. Starting the | :32:17. | :32:22. | |
second half on the front foot here. Foul by Ricardo Carvalho. | :32:23. | :32:30. | |
Unnecessary. Szalai was a real nuisance in the first half. | :32:31. | :32:38. | |
Continuing the same in the second. Gel Moutinho went off at half-time | :32:39. | :32:44. | |
to allow this man to come on. Moutinho has been disappointing in | :32:45. | :32:46. | |
the first half. Hardly saw him. What can Dzsudzsak do with this one? | :32:47. | :33:04. | |
Nani very reluctant to get out of the way. Finally doing so. Martin | :33:05. | :33:12. | |
Atkinson happy with the wall. Dzsudzsak and Lovrencsics with the | :33:13. | :33:16. | |
ball, Dzsudzsak with the strike and the deflection carries it in! | :33:17. | :33:22. | |
Dzsudzsak's free kick deflected past Rui Patricio, and handle really | :33:23. | :33:32. | |
Portugal 2-1! CHEERING -- Hungary lead Portugal 2-1! 47 | :33:33. | :33:44. | |
minutes, the time of the goal. But Dzsudzsak looks as if he has a bit | :33:45. | :33:49. | |
of a problem there. Thankfully it's not keeping him off his feet for | :33:50. | :33:55. | |
long. He's fine committees absolutely buzzing. Takes a | :33:56. | :33:57. | |
deflection of the world. The keeper can't do anything about it. It is | :33:58. | :34:04. | |
off Andre Gomes, I think. Off his shoulder. Just off his arm. | :34:05. | :34:07. | |
Unbelievable start to the second half. It was enough to wrong-foot | :34:08. | :34:18. | |
the goalkeeper. And now, as it stands, Portugal would be sliding | :34:19. | :34:23. | |
out of the competition. Two points wouldn't see them through as one of | :34:24. | :34:27. | |
the best third placed teams. Renato Sanches with his first touch of the | :34:28. | :34:32. | |
game. Portugal behind for the second time this afternoon, against one of | :34:33. | :34:36. | |
the surprise packets of Euro 2016, Hungary. Well, it is a team, playing | :34:37. | :34:44. | |
against some good individual players, in this Portugal team. | :34:45. | :34:50. | |
They've got to pull together now. It should make a cracking second half | :34:51. | :34:56. | |
it now. Portugal have got to take the game to their opponents. Pepe | :34:57. | :35:02. | |
losing out to Szalai and now Lovrencsics! Side netting. That is a | :35:03. | :35:15. | |
letter. He doesn't stop running. Just put it past the post. Really | :35:16. | :35:20. | |
needs to be hitting the target committing that across the | :35:21. | :35:30. | |
goalkeeper. Portugal certainly doing this the hard way in the group | :35:31. | :35:37. | |
stages. Just far too casual. Look at the workrate here. Desperate to hold | :35:38. | :35:43. | |
onto the lead, something they failed to manage to do first time. Bags of | :35:44. | :35:50. | |
room for Joao Mario. Nani, suddenly red shirts flooding back, chance for | :35:51. | :36:00. | |
Cristiano Ronaldo! 2-2! CHEERING And Ronaldo becomes the first player | :36:01. | :36:04. | |
to score at four different European Championship finals! He will be | :36:05. | :36:14. | |
happier than he looks there. Aplomb and style. Past Kiraly, and for the | :36:15. | :36:23. | |
second time today, Portugal draw level. Ronaldo gets the wrong side | :36:24. | :36:31. | |
of his man. What about this for a flick? Confidence in that technique. | :36:32. | :36:36. | |
Not an easy skill at all, on the half volley, beautiful finish. The | :36:37. | :36:40. | |
bottom line is it's absolutely brilliant. Ronaldo has his goal. And | :36:41. | :36:50. | |
it is one saga of this tournament that is finally over. You can't back | :36:51. | :36:54. | |
against him, can you? You just know he will get a moment, and the | :36:55. | :36:59. | |
quality in that goal is outstanding. And, Burley, do they need it? | :37:00. | :37:06. | |
Just to let you know with that goal by Cristiano Ronaldo, as it stands | :37:07. | :37:12. | |
of course Hungary would still be at the top of the group, just ahead of | :37:13. | :37:17. | |
Iceland, both on five points. Portugal stay third, but now they | :37:18. | :37:21. | |
would be up to three, that would be enough, and they would be going | :37:22. | :37:27. | |
through. But I get the feeling when not quite done yet with this one. | :37:28. | :37:32. | |
No. Again it is when other running off that left-hand side. | :37:33. | :37:46. | |
A record-breaking goal on a record-breaking appearance, his 17th | :37:47. | :37:52. | |
at the finals. One more than Lillian to RAM and Edwin van Azar. Renato | :37:53. | :37:54. | |
Sanches. Lovely pass was that lots of space | :37:55. | :38:02. | |
here for Jau Moutinho! Very nearly a second goal of the match for Nani. | :38:03. | :38:13. | |
It is only the pace of that ball that beats Nani. Put it in the | :38:14. | :38:16. | |
corridor of uncertainty, he just can't get there. Backs to the wall | :38:17. | :38:24. | |
at the moment for Hungary. Adam Lang trying to find Szalai. | :38:25. | :38:30. | |
Suddenly Portugal are up and about, they are really at it now. They've | :38:31. | :38:39. | |
woken up. Certainly have. Ronaldo was their saviour again. It will be | :38:40. | :38:45. | |
a free kick given away by Korhut. Portugal quick to keep the game | :38:46. | :38:50. | |
flowing, quick to recyclable. There is Renato Sanches. Vieirinha on the | :38:51. | :38:53. | |
far side in possession. A challenge coming in from Elek. | :38:54. | :39:11. | |
Ricardo Carvalho has to chase back a little. Here's William. Inch | :39:12. | :39:20. | |
perfect. Ronaldo to the ground. Martin Atkinson turns away from him. | :39:21. | :39:25. | |
No free kick given for the challenge by Adam Lang. Happy enough to win | :39:26. | :39:37. | |
the throw. They are still fighting for everything, Hungary. Ronaldo | :39:38. | :39:44. | |
trying to get that free kick. Not enough on that, for me. Martin | :39:45. | :39:53. | |
Atkinson doing very well there. Saleh trying to get past Carvalho. | :39:54. | :39:58. | |
Could not quite find a team-mate but he gets the free kick in the end, | :39:59. | :40:03. | |
much to the consternation of those in green. -- 's Szalai. | :40:04. | :40:09. | |
This time Carvalho diving in. It is in the area, the first one. | :40:10. | :40:30. | |
Dzsudzsak once more. He is the man for this situation for Hungary. He | :40:31. | :40:41. | |
is their creative spark. Patricio needs the ball to stand up better | :40:42. | :40:45. | |
than the first one. A little further out than from where Dzsudzsak score | :40:46. | :40:51. | |
just after half-time. The wall standing firm. Another opportunity, | :40:52. | :40:55. | |
another deflection carries it in again! It is unbelievable! Ballast | :40:56. | :41:00. | |
Dzsudzsak for the second time in the second-half scores with a flexion! | :41:01. | :41:07. | |
And now Portugal are behind, yet again! And Hungary just will not lie | :41:08. | :41:18. | |
down, they will not give up, they want those points, they want to top | :41:19. | :41:23. | |
the group, and they lead once more. They just not our going to lie down. | :41:24. | :41:31. | |
Dzsudzsak has so much space for the ball comes back to him and you know | :41:32. | :41:34. | |
what he will do. This is the initial free kick. Nobody closing him down. | :41:35. | :41:39. | |
The Spacey has got. Again, it gets lucky. He deserves that quarrel. | :41:40. | :41:46. | |
What a match. Three goals now in the first ten minutes of the second | :41:47. | :41:54. | |
half! -- he deserves that goal. That is so sloppy. You have got to press | :41:55. | :42:00. | |
that ball. Massive deflection. There you see that anger. Delightful an | :42:01. | :42:09. | |
Bernd Storck, and those on the bench for Hungary, but what a game they | :42:10. | :42:13. | |
are giving Portugal here, and what a scare for Portugal, because once | :42:14. | :42:18. | |
again, as it stands, Portugal would not be going through. Hungary would | :42:19. | :42:23. | |
leave the group on seven, Iceland on five in second place, Portugal stole | :42:24. | :42:27. | |
third but only on two points, and Austria still bringing up the rear. | :42:28. | :42:33. | |
It remains Iceland 1-0 Austria in the other match in Paris. Quite | :42:34. | :42:41. | |
astonishing what we are witnessing. What can Ronaldo do about this now? | :42:42. | :42:50. | |
So frustrated Ronaldo, when they conceded. Furious with his | :42:51. | :42:56. | |
team-mates. Kiraly with time to just drop down on the ball. Here's Adam | :42:57. | :43:04. | |
Lang, who actually lost his place with his club side the last couple | :43:05. | :43:12. | |
of months of the season. An important period for Hungary to keep | :43:13. | :43:16. | |
possession, just take the sting out of Portugal. Renato Sanches now | :43:17. | :43:24. | |
posing a threat to the first time. Strong, hustling, bustling, finding | :43:25. | :43:27. | |
Cristiano Ronaldo. Joao Mario with a shot. I think they got on each | :43:28. | :43:35. | |
other's Reve. Yes. Mario and Ronaldo making the same month. This is what | :43:36. | :43:39. | |
Sanchez is good at, but not really sure that ball is for. A little off | :43:40. | :43:44. | |
target again. Mario coming back inside. It doesn't fall for Ronaldo. | :43:45. | :44:13. | |
Hungary just struggling to get hold of the ball. Now Cristiano Ronaldo | :44:14. | :44:19. | |
looking to let fly. Tracked all the way by Korhut. Just doing enough | :44:20. | :44:30. | |
there. Ronaldo this time running with it. This is the deflection | :44:31. | :44:37. | |
again. Just a lazy bit of defending. The goalkeeper can do nothing about | :44:38. | :44:41. | |
it. Takes a deflection there so close to you. He can't believe it, | :44:42. | :44:53. | |
Carvalho. He has been unlucky, Rui Patricio, in the second half. Headed | :44:54. | :45:06. | |
down by LSA you. A big day for Bese coming in to win his second cap. | :45:07. | :45:13. | |
Coming on for the goal-scorer, Zoltan Gera. Base don't score a lot | :45:14. | :45:26. | |
of goals, Hungary. Only 13 in the matches in the qualifiers | :45:27. | :45:32. | |
altogether. Suddenly they have found their shooting boots. They love to | :45:33. | :45:36. | |
shoot from distance, and why not, when they are going in the way that | :45:37. | :45:38. | |
they are today? Collected now by Joao Mario. ABTA | :45:39. | :45:43. | |
Cristiano Ronaldo. Up to Cristiano Ronaldo. Bese, | :45:44. | :46:00. | |
tracked by Gomes. This is now Hungary doing ever so well in the | :46:01. | :46:09. | |
game, certainly working hard for it. Interesting that Dzsudzsak is a | :46:10. | :46:14. | |
different player when he pulls on the national team jersey for | :46:15. | :46:18. | |
Hungary. He hasn't had a great time in the last few seasons. He did bury | :46:19. | :46:23. | |
well at PSV before making a big-money move to Russia. It didn't | :46:24. | :46:26. | |
work out for him and he's been in Turkey this last season. It's been a | :46:27. | :46:32. | |
little bit of a hit and miss season for him at his club, but he still | :46:33. | :46:38. | |
performs match after match for the national team. We saw what it meant | :46:39. | :46:41. | |
to him when he was celebrating with his fans. It fills you with energy | :46:42. | :46:47. | |
when you do that, run over to the supporters. Lovely skill initially | :46:48. | :46:56. | |
from Joao Mario. Just a little reminder that if everything stays as | :46:57. | :47:03. | |
it is and hungry go on and win the group, they will play the team that | :47:04. | :47:07. | |
finished second in Group E, which at the moment looks likely to be | :47:08. | :47:12. | |
Belgium. Portugal are daring to make a change which would be their second | :47:13. | :47:18. | |
of the match. We're likely to see Ricardo Quaresma, who was left out | :47:19. | :47:24. | |
of the last game. In fact, he's going to come on now before this | :47:25. | :47:29. | |
throw in is taken by Eliseu. A player who normally has the word | :47:30. | :47:34. | |
enigmatic before his name, Quaresma. He is on and Andre Gomes is off. A | :47:35. | :47:39. | |
bit more with coming onto the pitch now. Gomes playing quite sensually. | :47:40. | :47:45. | |
They need to get more crosses into the box, Portugal. No real variation | :47:46. | :47:46. | |
in their play. Here come Portugal again with Nani. | :47:47. | :48:02. | |
A vital interception made by Bese, the substitute, at the expense of a | :48:03. | :48:07. | |
corner. It's a great ball by Pepe, look at the pace on this ball, | :48:08. | :48:12. | |
Nani's touched just letting him down. Portugal just preparing to | :48:13. | :48:17. | |
take this corner. Here now is Quaresma, first touch of the ball, | :48:18. | :48:23. | |
what a touch it was too! What a superb headed finish from Cristiano | :48:24. | :48:28. | |
Ronaldo, and for the third time Portugal draw level! It is 3-3 and | :48:29. | :48:31. | |
Ronaldo has his second goal of the game. We talked about Roy of the | :48:32. | :48:38. | |
Rovers, call it what you want, this fellow just won't be denied. They | :48:39. | :48:48. | |
rely so heavily on him. Ball into the box, look at the space he has, | :48:49. | :48:52. | |
he ghosts in there and good direction on the header and they are | :48:53. | :48:57. | |
back in it. Four goals in the first 17 minutes of the second half. He is | :48:58. | :49:02. | |
matching Dzsudzsak stride for stride, both with two goals in the | :49:03. | :49:10. | |
second period. That is a wonderful header. There's no finer sight in | :49:11. | :49:15. | |
football, for me. He flies through the air and glides it in. No wonder | :49:16. | :49:20. | |
is picking him up. One of the best headers of the ball in the game and | :49:21. | :49:25. | |
there is nowhere near him. Fernando Santos, the coach, suddenly looks | :49:26. | :49:29. | |
pretty smart bringing Quaresma on. His first touch, I think, sending | :49:30. | :49:33. | |
that ball perfectly onto the head of Ronaldo. It's not surprising, they | :49:34. | :49:37. | |
needed more balls into the box, more width. While that goal was going in, | :49:38. | :49:44. | |
there has been a goal in the other match, Austria have drawn level in | :49:45. | :49:54. | |
Iceland. 1-1 there, as Portugal try to surge forward again. | :49:55. | :49:59. | |
So, at the moment, as it stands, England would play Portugal in the | :50:00. | :50:08. | |
last 16 in Nice. But the scoreline is changing so frequently we may not | :50:09. | :50:13. | |
be time yet, great chance! It has smacked the post! Incredible from | :50:14. | :50:17. | |
Hungary, as they so nearly regained the lead. It was Elek racing into | :50:18. | :50:23. | |
the penalty area. It has really opened up here, what a match! Away | :50:24. | :50:29. | |
goes Ricardo Quaresma. That is Renato Sanches, flag up far side | :50:30. | :50:36. | |
against Ronaldo. Well, blisteringly quick! It's like a PlayStation game! | :50:37. | :50:44. | |
It's one end to the other. The officials have done well. I think he | :50:45. | :50:49. | |
wants that ball earlier, Renaldo. What about that, at the other end of | :50:50. | :50:55. | |
the field? This ball comes into the box. He does everything right, | :50:56. | :51:01. | |
there. Carvalho beats him to it. It's a great... Now Bese controlling | :51:02. | :51:12. | |
the ball, can't quite find Szalai! The defensive cover makes the | :51:13. | :51:17. | |
challenge and it will be a goalkick for Portugal. Hungary again keeping | :51:18. | :51:20. | |
Ricardo Carvalho and his defensive colleagues on their toes. Well, you | :51:21. | :51:27. | |
cannot relax for a moment. Got to keep it tight at the back. There's | :51:28. | :51:34. | |
enough experience there. So loose, I've never seen so many deflections. | :51:35. | :51:39. | |
Auden by the head... Nani, Renato Sanches. Here is the | :51:40. | :51:51. | |
arena, with Joao Mario making tracks ahead of him on the far side. He's | :51:52. | :51:58. | |
onside, Korhut goes across. Ronaldo waits in the centre. | :51:59. | :52:07. | |
William Carvalho. There is a balance on this right-hand side, Quaresma | :52:08. | :52:17. | |
they're coming giving them that extra weight. Sanches just playing | :52:18. | :52:21. | |
off the front. He's so strong, William Carvalho. You can leave him | :52:22. | :52:25. | |
in that midfield on his own! Which they are now doing. He just loiters | :52:26. | :52:31. | |
in front of that back four and mops everything up that comes his way, | :52:32. | :52:36. | |
before setting the play-offs in forward motion for Portugal. Joao | :52:37. | :52:43. | |
Mario. It's really set up for Portugal now just to attack, solely. | :52:44. | :52:48. | |
Click into Renaldo, flag has gone up. Talked about the Hungarian line, | :52:49. | :52:55. | |
pushing up nicely, catching Renaldo offside. | :52:56. | :52:59. | |
Joao Mario... Making progress in midfield. With some support. The | :53:00. | :53:19. | |
support that came from Ricardo Quaresma, but the decision does not | :53:20. | :53:26. | |
go Portugal's way this time. He does really well, stays on his feet. Yes, | :53:27. | :53:36. | |
good call from the linesman. This is Ronaldo flying through the air. The | :53:37. | :53:41. | |
direction he gets, the power. The timing is perfect. Familiar faces | :53:42. | :53:45. | |
running the line, Stephen Child and Mike Mullarkey, officials from the | :53:46. | :53:49. | |
Premier League. Part of the team alongside Martin Atkinson, along | :53:50. | :53:54. | |
with Michael Oliver and Craig Pawson, who are the additional | :53:55. | :53:55. | |
assistance. Fernando Santos is trying to plot a | :53:56. | :53:59. | |
way to win this game. Eliseu will take this. He used to be | :54:00. | :54:25. | |
a winger, but Manuel Pellegrini turned him into a full-back at | :54:26. | :54:32. | |
Malaga. Great noise in this lovely shiny new stadium. Fantastic game as | :54:33. | :54:37. | |
well. Eliseu... Comfortable for Kiraly. Ronaldo is lurking in that | :54:38. | :54:42. | |
box once more. Ronaldo, by the way, needs one gold | :54:43. | :55:04. | |
to equal Michel Platini as the top goal-scorer of all time in the | :55:05. | :55:06. | |
European Championships finals. He's an eight now. Forward come Portugal | :55:07. | :55:15. | |
once more. Joao Mario, into Ronaldo, who this time comes off second best | :55:16. | :55:21. | |
to Richard Guzmics. Don't underestimate Guzmics there, he does | :55:22. | :55:25. | |
ever so well for his team. Portugal on the break looking ominous. | :55:26. | :55:32. | |
Portugal into double figures in corners now. This will be their 10th | :55:33. | :55:43. | |
of the match. Actually a throw in on that far side, I beg your pardon. | :55:44. | :55:51. | |
Those goal-scoring statistics, Ronaldo on eight for all time in the | :55:52. | :55:57. | |
European Championships, one ahead of Alan Shearer and one behind Michel | :55:58. | :56:07. | |
Platini. They will make a change shortly, and Kiraly happy to see | :56:08. | :56:09. | |
that one bounce away behind the goal. Hungary are now going to make | :56:10. | :56:15. | |
their second substitution of the game. Christian MX will come on to | :56:16. | :56:23. | |
replace Adam he went to Liverpool as a | :56:24. | :56:36. | |
17-year-old, three years there but didn't really make an impression and | :56:37. | :56:41. | |
now he's playing for a team in Qatar. -- | :56:42. | :56:53. | |
-- Krisztian Nemeth. He will certainly have enjoyed himself more | :56:54. | :57:00. | |
today than he did with his parent club, Hoffenheim. | :57:01. | :57:05. | |
He didn't really enjoy himself this past season. I wonder what was in | :57:06. | :57:16. | |
that note from the manager. Score a fourth, maybe? | :57:17. | :57:24. | |
Still got 20 minutes to go. The ball played forward, into the penalty | :57:25. | :57:40. | |
area. It was almost played through to the substitute, Nemeth. | :57:41. | :57:55. | |
Met by the head of Adam Long. He realised he can't afford to give | :57:56. | :58:11. | |
Nani an inch. The Hungary full-backs have both done well in this match. | :58:12. | :58:15. | |
They going to have to do a lot more as well. | :58:16. | :58:25. | |
That was Nemeth, chasing hard. Conceding the throw in. Quite happy | :58:26. | :58:33. | |
to come out with the ball on that occasion but he's looking for | :58:34. | :58:43. | |
diagonals for Ronaldo as well. Still with Portugal, Renaldo, Nani. Eliseu | :58:44. | :58:48. | |
on the overlap if required. Decent ball in, Ronaldo rising high. Let's | :58:49. | :58:56. | |
hope he's not injured, there. He just lays it off and he just peels | :58:57. | :59:03. | |
off into the box. Great ball in for him. Just can't get enough on it and | :59:04. | :59:08. | |
lands awkwardly. Looks as though he has springs in his heels. It didn't | :59:09. | :59:14. | |
look a terribly soft landing. It wouldn't be on these pitches these | :59:15. | :59:17. | |
days, they are rock hard, aren't they? They certainly are. He's made | :59:18. | :59:25. | |
of strong stuff, though. Surely Hungary aren't going to go ahead | :59:26. | :59:26. | |
again? Hungary with the opportunity to | :59:27. | :59:47. | |
advance, trying to get the ball into the penalty area. Doesn't get the | :59:48. | :59:53. | |
decision. A deflection off him and Eliseu will have a throw in for | :59:54. | :59:59. | |
Portugal. In the last few minutes, everyone has had a chance to catch | :00:00. | :00:03. | |
their breath, after that whirlwind start to the second half. It's been | :00:04. | :00:04. | |
incredible, hasn't it? Joao Mario looks as if he will be | :00:05. | :00:20. | |
held back by Adam Lang. Indeed it was spotted by Martin Atkinson. It | :00:21. | :00:24. | |
will be a free kick here for Portugal. They will be grateful the | :00:25. | :00:31. | |
Sun has moved away from the playing surface. Very hot in Lyon. Is this | :00:32. | :00:36. | |
the sort of lull before the storm? He has got all that swagger back | :00:37. | :00:47. | |
now, Ronaldo. Bernd Storck, the coach of Hungary, quite agitated on | :00:48. | :00:56. | |
the edge of the technical area. Quaresma has made quite an impact | :00:57. | :01:01. | |
since coming off the bench. In from Vieirinha. At full strength does mix | :01:02. | :01:11. | |
gets his head to the ball. -- Guzmics gets his head to the ball. | :01:12. | :01:16. | |
Hungary on the bench here with Elek. Had to wait for some support to | :01:17. | :01:21. | |
arrive, and the foul on Lovrencsics. Don't underestimate Elek as well, | :01:22. | :01:28. | |
the amount of work he has got through. It was he who hit the post. | :01:29. | :01:33. | |
And running from deep as well. He is the sort of link with the front | :01:34. | :01:36. | |
player. He doesn't really well, I have to say. Back home in Hungary | :01:37. | :01:43. | |
after spending a year in the Chinese super league. The real box to box | :01:44. | :01:49. | |
player, as we've seen in this game. A real threat, full of energy and | :01:50. | :01:54. | |
running. The ball forward, collected by Nemeth. Bese down inside the | :01:55. | :02:02. | |
penalty area. It will be a goal kick for Portugal. The flag has got up on | :02:03. | :02:07. | |
the nearside actually. Good play, but so sloppy. Clearly offside. They | :02:08. | :02:14. | |
are just geared to go forward, Portugal. They don't want to defend. | :02:15. | :02:24. | |
Two goals for Ronaldo, two for Dzsudzsak. 3-3, still time for | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
another goal or two as Portugal venture forward again. Ronaldo. The | :02:29. | :02:34. | |
bounce beats Kiraly but doesn't remain under the crossbar. The ball | :02:35. | :02:38. | |
is like a magnet to Ronaldo now. Peeling off again at the far post. | :02:39. | :02:45. | |
He just kicked it into the ground. He doesn't hit it true enough. | :02:46. | :02:54. | |
Carvalho, the oldest outfield player at this championship. 38. He had a | :02:55. | :03:06. | |
good season with Monaco, his third season there. The ball back out with | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
Nani now. Quaresma. Again looking for Ronaldo in the middle. A teasing | :03:11. | :03:18. | |
ball into the box. The delivery from Sanches, better movement, better | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
running of the ball from Portugal. Into the last 15 minutes of the | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
game, and a reminder of the situation, it is 1-1 between Iceland | :03:27. | :03:31. | |
and Austria, and the fact that it is 3-3 here means that, as it stands, | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
England will play Portugal in the last 16 in Nice. Lovely player from | :03:36. | :03:44. | |
Quaresma, gets away from corporate. -- from Korhut. He has really | :03:45. | :03:50. | |
livened up the game since he has come on, just pops it through the | :03:51. | :03:56. | |
defender's legs. Hit it. They have got to do better with the strike. | :03:57. | :04:09. | |
Nemeth with the lay-off, looking for Bese. Pressure on Ricardo Carvalho. | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
Now with Vieirinha. Portugal are really being given a | :04:15. | :04:28. | |
game here by Hungary, to pick themselves up off the canvas three | :04:29. | :04:36. | |
times in this game. Having restricted opponents to hardly any | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
chances at all in the opening two matches they have played. Here's | :04:41. | :04:46. | |
William. Lovely ball. Quaresma! Just out of the reach of Nani. Didn't | :04:47. | :04:55. | |
reach Ronaldo. Quaresma is really hurting with those runs from deep. | :04:56. | :05:03. | |
Gets that ball in quickly as well. Santos the coach often uses him as | :05:04. | :05:06. | |
an impact sub, and he has certainly made an impact today. He has had a | :05:07. | :05:11. | |
really good season with Beswick Dass in Turkey, winning the league. -- | :05:12. | :05:18. | |
with Besiktas. Look so sharp. Now it is with | :05:19. | :05:35. | |
Ronaldo. No foul. And Hungary just launching the ball | :05:36. | :05:52. | |
as far away from their own goal as they possibly can. Probably | :05:53. | :05:57. | |
muttering that Finnish referees never change. So quick footed, | :05:58. | :06:02. | |
Ronaldo, when he runs at the fenders. No surprise that Portugal | :06:03. | :06:09. | |
have had far more of the ball. But it is the scoreline in the top | :06:10. | :06:12. | |
corner of the picture that really matters. About to see a change, I | :06:13. | :06:17. | |
think, from Portugal any minute now. Bennie Logan is expected to come on, | :06:18. | :06:22. | |
the Porto player. More of that anon. It was true to Ronaldo, the was | :06:23. | :06:32. | |
offside. -- Danilo. Gambling a bit more Hungary. Watch how they hold | :06:33. | :06:35. | |
the line. Ronaldo just wanted a fraction earlier. If you have just | :06:36. | :06:42. | |
come home from work and join the coverage late, Ronaldo on a | :06:43. | :06:45. | |
hat-trick, to those in the second half. Thumb in the air, saying to | :06:46. | :06:51. | |
Sanches, that's right, you keep looking for me, I'll come up with | :06:52. | :06:53. | |
the goods. Dispossessed by Nani. Pepe Mel and heavily -- Pepe | :06:54. | :07:01. | |
momentarily galloping forward. And now we will get that change, and | :07:02. | :07:31. | |
Nani will go. He scored the first Portugal's three flies in goals this | :07:32. | :07:34. | |
afternoon, three minutes before half-time. And now to be replaced by | :07:35. | :07:42. | |
Danilo, who started the first game against Iceland, the 1-1 draw. | :07:43. | :07:48. | |
Pacey, powerful player. Keeps it simple, doesn't tend to give the | :07:49. | :07:55. | |
ball away. Just taking the handshakes, Nani. As Portugal probe | :07:56. | :08:06. | |
and try and find a fourth goal that would put them ahead for the first | :08:07. | :08:09. | |
time in the match. They are all hands on deck here, Hungary, Pepe up | :08:10. | :08:15. | |
for it inside the box. A bang on the nose or a poke in the eye, and | :08:16. | :08:20. | |
Sanches can't keep the ball in play. Now Hungary will use this | :08:21. | :08:23. | |
opportunity to make a change, with less than ten minutes to go. And the | :08:24. | :08:27. | |
player who is going off is Lovrencsics. And he will be replaced | :08:28. | :08:44. | |
by Zoltan Stever. -- Zoltan Stieber. He has struggled for first-team | :08:45. | :08:47. | |
opportunities in all of the clubs he has been to, Stieber. Lovrencsics | :08:48. | :08:54. | |
can hardly get off the pitch was that the put such a shift in for his | :08:55. | :09:05. | |
team. Stieber, who got himself on the scoresheet in the gaming in | :09:06. | :09:09. | |
store Austria, adding the second goal. | :09:10. | :09:23. | |
Hungary keen to just use up as much time as they can. Langer. Curare. | :09:24. | :09:37. | |
Kiraly just using his vast experience. | :09:38. | :09:46. | |
And Vieirinha will get things moving once again. 3-3, in the 84th minute | :09:47. | :10:00. | |
of the game. The Lesnar. He has been a star turn since coming off the | :10:01. | :10:09. | |
bench -- Quaresma. William. Interesting, Sanches not running | :10:10. | :10:11. | |
with the ball as much as we expect to, using the ball very well and | :10:12. | :10:16. | |
intelligently. He looks a really good player, doesn't it, Sanches. | :10:17. | :10:24. | |
That move to Bayern Munich coming after just 22 starts in the league | :10:25. | :10:33. | |
for Benfica. Joao Mario. Sanches is screaming at him, the once that ball | :10:34. | :10:39. | |
earlier. -- he wanted that ball. They will wait for Ellis Seo to take | :10:40. | :10:41. | |
this. -- LSA neat and tidy and slowly making | :10:42. | :11:05. | |
progress, despite the fact there wasn't any room. Finally cleared | :11:06. | :11:14. | |
away by Juhasz. A bit of that experience there, Portugal. | :11:15. | :11:26. | |
Ronaldo waits in the centre. Eliseu. Patient approach play here from | :11:27. | :11:41. | |
Portugal. If the scoreline stays like this here, and if it stays 1-1 | :11:42. | :11:46. | |
between Iceland and Austria, Portugal will be England's opponents | :11:47. | :11:50. | |
in the knockout stages, in the last 16. | :11:51. | :11:57. | |
Quaresma, Ronaldo nearby, now in possession. Into the last five | :11:58. | :12:08. | |
minutes of the game. Still time for a chance or two, as Ronaldo, even by | :12:09. | :12:13. | |
his standards, pretty optimistic from there. Yes, just a little | :12:14. | :12:18. | |
tester from distance again. From his left foot this time. He must have | :12:19. | :12:23. | |
had more shots on golf than half the teams in the tournament put | :12:24. | :12:27. | |
together. I am sure there is a stat somewhere like that. Never short of | :12:28. | :12:38. | |
confidence. They are so reliant on this man. England might be relishing | :12:39. | :12:44. | |
the chance to play against Portugal, looking at the back. No real balance | :12:45. | :12:49. | |
to their team. It was high and hopeful. Old-style up towards | :12:50. | :12:57. | |
Nemeth. It is oil Portugal here. They are enjoying all of the | :12:58. | :12:59. | |
possession in the closing stages of this match. Hungary, it would seem, | :13:00. | :13:05. | |
now in a position of hanging on for a point. They are already through, | :13:06. | :13:07. | |
whatever happens, and they were overnight. Sanches roughed up a | :13:08. | :13:23. | |
little bit thereby Elek. Certainly a lot better but that changes it has | :13:24. | :13:27. | |
made in this game. Sanches is one of them. You have got to give young | :13:28. | :13:32. | |
players their head, give them the opportunities. Sanches with a little | :13:33. | :13:40. | |
lay-off towards William. Thinking that morning. Ronaldo left a little | :13:41. | :13:48. | |
frustrated in the centre. They look very fluid all of a sudden, passing | :13:49. | :13:51. | |
it very well there, Portugal. You've got to credit Hungary, | :13:52. | :14:05. | |
though, the number of changes they have made in this game, they have | :14:06. | :14:08. | |
made their country proud again. We've got to credit Hungary full | :14:09. | :14:19. | |
stop. We never thought they would have qualified with a game to spare. | :14:20. | :14:24. | |
They rich footballing history, of course, Hungary, but it's a long | :14:25. | :14:30. | |
time ago. Hope for them have a much brighter footballing future. I think | :14:31. | :14:34. | |
it will inspire other youngsters in their country. The former coach just | :14:35. | :14:39. | |
before the current incumbent has been saying today that the Hungary | :14:40. | :14:44. | |
and FAA, all the coaches, all the communities in Hungary really need | :14:45. | :14:47. | |
to take advantage of the situation now, strike while the iron is hot. | :14:48. | :14:57. | |
They have faded away for many years but let's hope they are on the way | :14:58. | :15:02. | |
back. They certainly are in this tournament. Free kick for Portugal | :15:03. | :15:03. | |
here. Surely he's not going to hit it from | :15:04. | :15:20. | |
here, is he? Definite foul on him. Yet again from the man who had his | :15:21. | :15:25. | |
name taken quite a while ago. Fernando sun toss hot under the | :15:26. | :15:30. | |
collar. As it stands, his team will go through in second place. They are | :15:31. | :15:36. | |
not definitely in that spot yet. They may still win the game! He | :15:37. | :15:46. | |
certainly has the look of a man who is about to strike the ball. Surely | :15:47. | :15:55. | |
it's too far out. Eliseu standing near the ball as well here. But it | :15:56. | :16:02. | |
is Ronaldo... And he puts it into the crowd. No, it's just not coming | :16:03. | :16:14. | |
off. We've seen this from him a couple of times in the tournament, | :16:15. | :16:20. | |
Gareth Bale has got one over his team-mate. But the goals he scored | :16:21. | :16:25. | |
today, the degree of difficulty... That flick, it was truly | :16:26. | :16:30. | |
outstanding. Sumptuous. An absolutely fantastic goal, the first | :16:31. | :16:33. | |
one. And what a header for the second goal. But Hungary still | :16:34. | :16:40. | |
plugging away. Great effort from them in this game and now the | :16:41. | :16:47. | |
referee does bring the game back. It got a doodle heated but not for | :16:48. | :16:52. | |
long, Danilo in the thick of it. Just a high foot from Danilo. -- a | :16:53. | :16:59. | |
little heated. Three minutes of added time. Is there going to be one | :17:00. | :17:01. | |
final twist here? Nerves jangling for those young | :17:02. | :17:25. | |
Portuguese fans. With Hungary now threatening. Dzsudzsak nearby, all | :17:26. | :17:39. | |
the way over. Like Ronaldo, on a hat-trick. Good play here from | :17:40. | :17:54. | |
Hungary. Sensible play, just ticking off the second. It seems as if both | :17:55. | :18:00. | |
teams are just happy to see the game through. It's not as if they didn't | :18:01. | :18:05. | |
go toe to toe here in Lyon. Really good game to watch. Deep in added | :18:06. | :18:11. | |
time now, in the second of our minimum additional three. Fighting | :18:12. | :18:18. | |
till the last. He's been excellent, the right back. He didn't want to | :18:19. | :18:28. | |
give that ball away. Santos is screaming at his defence. But as it | :18:29. | :18:37. | |
stands, it will be England next for Portugal. Hungary happy to see the | :18:38. | :18:40. | |
time out here, Portugal happy enough as well. Well, their path completion | :18:41. | :18:47. | |
rate has just gone up! The last few beckons of the match, the dying | :18:48. | :18:52. | |
embers of a cracking game. Hats off to Hungary for the way they've | :18:53. | :18:56. | |
played here in France and the way they've played this match today. | :18:57. | :19:00. | |
Remember, they were already guaranteed to be going through | :19:01. | :19:04. | |
before the match kick-off today. They've led three times against | :19:05. | :19:08. | |
Portugal. Portugal forced to do it the hard way in terms of | :19:09. | :19:10. | |
qualification for the knockout stages. In difficulty on three | :19:11. | :19:18. | |
separate occasions, but, led by Cristiano Ronaldo, who else, coming | :19:19. | :19:22. | |
back each time, Ronaldo with two goals. They've done it with their | :19:23. | :19:27. | |
squad, the strength of their squad. There may be time for a last | :19:28. | :19:30. | |
attacking opportunity for Portugal here. Played forward by Vieirinha, | :19:31. | :19:37. | |
worries me chasing. That was a very timely intervention. -- Quaresma | :19:38. | :19:43. | |
chasing. Players looking at Martin Atkinson for final whistle. Two to | :19:44. | :19:49. | |
Ronaldo is there it is, what a match. What a | :19:50. | :20:00. | |
performance from Hungary. Three times they went ahead, they also hit | :20:01. | :20:06. | |
the post having been pegged back to 3-3, but Portugal would not lie | :20:07. | :20:15. | |
down. They came back through Ronaldo with two second-half goals. The | :20:16. | :20:16. | |
final score in Lyon is 3-3. STUDIO | :20:17. | :20:31. | |
So, we are hearing that Iceland have just scored in the very last seconds | :20:32. | :20:37. | |
of the game! No confirmation of that just at the moment, which | :20:38. | :20:41. | |
significantly changes things of course. Here it is. So, this was the | :20:42. | :20:53. | |
last second. Austria were pushing forward for a goal which could have | :20:54. | :20:57. | |
taken them through to the knockout stages and needless to say Iceland | :20:58. | :21:01. | |
counter-attacked and this happened! That is significant in the fact that | :21:02. | :21:06. | |
who will play England will now play Iceland because of that second goal. | :21:07. | :21:12. | |
That is a massive difference to playing, I would suggest, Portugal, | :21:13. | :21:17. | |
who we haven't beaten in a major tournament since 1966. Extraordinary | :21:18. | :21:21. | |
scenes there. The fourth minute of injury time. It has very much been | :21:22. | :21:25. | |
the tournament of late goals. Despair for the Austrian fans but | :21:26. | :21:29. | |
they needed to win to go through and all of a sudden the tournament has | :21:30. | :21:34. | |
kind of come to life as the stakes have got higher. All four teams, at | :21:35. | :21:40. | |
the beginning of this afternoon, had the potential to go through. We now | :21:41. | :21:44. | |
know... What a game, what a couple of games. What excitement. England | :21:45. | :21:50. | |
against Iceland. A selfish perspective... I think it's lifted | :21:51. | :21:55. | |
this room for me, for us three. We were thinking we had got Portugal. | :21:56. | :21:58. | |
It was going to be a totally different game, the Ronaldo factor | :21:59. | :22:04. | |
entered the fray. To get Iceland, who have sat back and defended in | :22:05. | :22:09. | |
their own box, is a very different prospect to play against. Also, | :22:10. | :22:13. | |
Portugal have been very much a bogey side for England. I know you were | :22:14. | :22:18. | |
saying, why are you bothered about Portugal? Because France always beat | :22:19. | :22:22. | |
them! We usually beat them, but in fairness, the two games were great | :22:23. | :22:27. | |
because all four teams could go through. That's why Iceland won, | :22:28. | :22:31. | |
because Austria had to win to go through. I didn't understand why | :22:32. | :22:36. | |
Portugal didn't try to win this game. Ronaldo was talking to Joe | :22:37. | :22:43. | |
Mario -- Joao Mario saying why didn't we try to win the game? | :22:44. | :22:52. | |
Portugal go through as well, they will go through as the third placed | :22:53. | :22:59. | |
team. A postage note from the -- a post-it note from the manager to | :23:00. | :23:04. | |
Ronaldo, I wonder if that was saying we're OK with the way things are, | :23:05. | :23:08. | |
don't throw caution to the wind. Also with Danilo as well. I was | :23:09. | :23:14. | |
surprised because I thought Portugal would want to avoid England. It was | :23:15. | :23:21. | |
either that or, "You're not on free kicks any more! " It was very open. | :23:22. | :23:27. | |
At 3-3, they hit the bar. Ronaldo is back on fire as well. I don't think | :23:28. | :23:31. | |
England have much to worry about with any of these teams they could | :23:32. | :23:35. | |
have played. They would be better playing Iceland, but I still think | :23:36. | :23:38. | |
if they play Portugal, it's only really the Ronaldo factor you have | :23:39. | :23:44. | |
to worry about. He's a big factor, you can never underestimate Ronaldo. | :23:45. | :23:48. | |
We knew at some point he was going to score and he scored two today. | :23:49. | :23:53. | |
But I have to say it was -- has well it won't be easy against Iceland. | :23:54. | :23:57. | |
You're talking about a team that drew against Portugal, drew against | :23:58. | :24:00. | |
Hungary and then just won against Austria. If we can't beat Iceland... | :24:01. | :24:08. | |
I'm just saying, you guys are scared of Portugal. Who said scared? | :24:09. | :24:11. | |
Scared, scared? LAUGHTER | :24:12. | :24:21. | |
But Iceland, be careful. It should be an OK game, but who knows. I | :24:22. | :24:29. | |
think this team are better when teams come at as a bit and Portugal | :24:30. | :24:34. | |
may have suited our style of play. When teams sit back and we have to | :24:35. | :24:37. | |
break them down, that's when we've had problems with the killer | :24:38. | :24:40. | |
instinct and the finesse and creating the chances. What if I were | :24:41. | :24:44. | |
in that dressing room for England, I would be very happy to be playing | :24:45. | :24:49. | |
Iceland. Let's have a look at the group table. It's changed so many | :24:50. | :24:54. | |
times, didn't it? Confirmation that Hungary end as the Group F winners. | :24:55. | :25:00. | |
Iceland second in the group and they go through, as do Portugal in third | :25:01. | :25:05. | |
place. Austria are eliminated, while the permutations also mean that | :25:06. | :25:09. | |
Albania are now out. Portugal now play Croatia in the last 16, that | :25:10. | :25:15. | |
will be a hell of a game. We find out tonight whether Wales will play | :25:16. | :25:20. | |
Turkey or Northern Ireland, while Switzerland versus Poland is the | :25:21. | :25:28. | |
first knockout tie. Germany against Slovakia and Italy versus Spain are | :25:29. | :25:33. | |
also confirmed. Hosts France will either take on Northern Ireland or a | :25:34. | :25:37. | |
third-place team from Group E. Gradually we are getting clearer. | :25:38. | :25:41. | |
What a game that was. What a second-half, starting with the | :25:42. | :25:45. | |
Dzsudzsak goal. It was the complete opposite to what we were thinking at | :25:46. | :25:48. | |
half-time, that Portugal would come out as the team with the confidence. | :25:49. | :25:53. | |
This changed it straightaway. Another deflected free kick in this | :25:54. | :25:57. | |
tournament, we've seen so many. The keeper can't do anything with that. | :25:58. | :26:02. | |
Dzsudzsak has that ability at set plays and he gets a bit of fortune | :26:03. | :26:06. | |
but you have got to hit the ball on target to have a chance of scoring | :26:07. | :26:10. | |
and he did that. He did, I thought he did well in the second half. It | :26:11. | :26:15. | |
was definitely the best game of the tournament so far, and to end, but | :26:16. | :26:19. | |
he came up with that bit of pressure. It didn't quite happen for | :26:20. | :26:24. | |
him but when he really needed to, he came up trumps, didn't he? That's | :26:25. | :26:29. | |
what we've been talking about. He runs in front of the defender, and | :26:30. | :26:34. | |
what a finish! Look at him there, exactly what you want. He goes in | :26:35. | :26:38. | |
front of the defender first, he bends his run to be onside and he | :26:39. | :26:42. | |
flicks it. I know it sounds easy, but... If he starts in a central | :26:43. | :26:48. | |
area there, the defender can see him. When he starts from a wider | :26:49. | :26:52. | |
area, it's so difficult for the full-back. They can't see him and | :26:53. | :26:58. | |
that's where he gets his position of strength, because he's the one in | :26:59. | :27:04. | |
control. Deliciously supple finish. Then Hungary straight down the other | :27:05. | :27:09. | |
end, Dzsudzsak again. From this free kick it comes to him. If you watch | :27:10. | :27:14. | |
Ronaldo quickly, he is saying, go and help him, why don't you go and | :27:15. | :27:19. | |
help him? He gets a bit of fortune again but the thing I like about the | :27:20. | :27:22. | |
Dzsudzsak is he's always trying to make things happen. Ronaldo saying, | :27:23. | :27:29. | |
go and help him. Not the bravest block in the world. It gave Portugal | :27:30. | :27:35. | |
another mountain to climb. There you go! Stay on your feet! You can get | :27:36. | :27:43. | |
that bit of luck when you're chasing. Ronaldo wasn't done. Back | :27:44. | :27:49. | |
he came, another goal. Another goal and straightaway Quaresma on the | :27:50. | :27:57. | |
ball and crossing it. Ronaldo runs in from behind, not easy to defend | :27:58. | :28:01. | |
because no one sees him. That's a great move and we all know how | :28:02. | :28:05. | |
lethal he is in the air. It's an incredible leap. I've rarely seen a | :28:06. | :28:10. | |
player who can hang in the Echo he's like a hummingbird. Hidden -- him | :28:11. | :28:21. | |
and Zamarano used to hang in the air like that. All of a sudden at the | :28:22. | :28:28. | |
end you could both see them going, a draw will do. I'm wondering if, as | :28:29. | :28:32. | |
you have a strong side of the draw, you have Germany France, Spain, | :28:33. | :28:39. | |
Italy on one side, do you think Portugal said, you know what, maybe | :28:40. | :28:42. | |
we will have a chance on the other side of the draw? Obviously they got | :28:43. | :28:47. | |
lucky because Iceland scored at the end but now they are on the other | :28:48. | :28:51. | |
side of the draw. Let's see what's going to happen. I didn't like to | :28:52. | :28:54. | |
see the last ten minutes when it was just like passing the ball... A | :28:55. | :28:59. | |
shame because it was such a great game before that. The other game was | :29:00. | :29:03. | |
a bit better because Austria had to go for it but I didn't like that. | :29:04. | :29:07. | |
But I still think it was the best game we've had in this tournament. | :29:08. | :29:12. | |
The way this format is, it's pretty difficult to work out how it will | :29:13. | :29:15. | |
work in terms of getting through to the next round in terms of who you | :29:16. | :29:19. | |
can face. There's a lot of tough teams in England's part of the draw. | :29:20. | :29:27. | |
Teams coming to the tournament should employ a mathematician on the | :29:28. | :29:30. | |
sidelines to work out exactly what's going on! We talked earlier about | :29:31. | :29:36. | |
England's side of the draw because they came second, but Belgian and | :29:37. | :29:40. | |
Croatia in the other half, I would rather play France than Belgium. | :29:41. | :29:47. | |
Because they are under pressure. The home nation with the fans behind | :29:48. | :29:51. | |
them, against them in their own backyard, no way, I would rather | :29:52. | :29:54. | |
play someone else. Wouldn't you enjoy it? I would enjoy it but I | :29:55. | :30:00. | |
would rather get to the final. If it wasn't for the new rules, Portugal | :30:01. | :30:04. | |
would have gone through. Everyone tipped Portugal and Austria to | :30:05. | :30:07. | |
finish top and see if someone is going to finish further. | :30:08. | :30:13. | |
That's it, we're out of time. England will play Iceland in the | :30:14. | :30:19. | |
last 16. The good news is, England have never lost to Iceland in a | :30:20. | :30:23. | |
major tournament! Goodbye. COMMENTATOR: Hungary safely through. | :30:24. | :30:31. | |
Ronaldo's mood, nothing that a goal or two wouldn't change. Zoltan Gera! | :30:32. | :30:35. | |
How about that! Now we will see what Portugal are really made of. Into | :30:36. | :30:43. | |
Nani, from Ronaldo! Son Zach with the strike and the deflection | :30:44. | :30:47. | |
carries it in! Chance for Cristiano Ronaldo! It's absolutely brilliant. | :30:48. | :30:51. | |
The deflection carried it in again! Unbelievable. A superb headed finish | :30:52. | :30:56. | |
from Cristiano Ronaldo. What a match. | :30:57. | :30:59. | |
Can't you see we're both investigating the same thing? | :31:00. | :31:02. | |
This is big, and I'm going to prove it. | :31:03. | :31:05. | |
How many people would you kill for ?1 billion a year? | :31:06. | :31:09. |
