Not in the UEFA stats isn't it? It's a draw and the penalty contest is simply to decide who goes on (yes I know this is pedantry of the highest order)

True, but only autistic sperglords bring this up and argue that a lesser team progressed.

Imo, professional footballers should be able to hit the friggin goal from 11 meters away

well yes, I agree with you that it's retarded but surely you can see why someone would suggest counting it differently.

Sure, but on the other hand the somewhat random nature of penalties cannot be denied. It's basically a coin toss, but without a coin. So basically a toss.

But yes, agreed that by any measure the team that was better in penalties - a key footballing skill - won the penalties and the whole game.

Yeah I can see the reasoning behind it but 5 years from now it's only IPA drinking hipster with a lisp who'd correct you with his impressive Wikipedia knowledge saying "technically they didn't win"

Bale melting down. He knows hes gonna have to go back to Real and Ronaldo will still be the big bro, the alpha male of the locker room, the one everyone looks up to. What a man. What a god. What a legend.

Congrats Portugal on winning a bad game.

I cheered for Wales, mostly because of their underdog status, but they have gotten nowhere.

All I really wanted was for Pepe to do something bonkers and get a red card, as is tradition. And he doesn't even play? Weak, Portugal.
