    Christian Evans: To paraphrase the comic book guy from a certain famous cartoon; Worst. Game. Ever.  

    Mufc believer: This has been a poor tournament so far, let's admit it. Good players have been bad, the bad have been good. So upsidedown.

    Mark Duffell: Twitter full of 'paint drying' comments now. For god's sake. That's ridiculous. And unfair. On the paint

    Fans have paid good money to be here. It's absolute dross. No attempt on goal in 105 minutes. It's just ridiculous at the moment. 

  7. KICK-OFFpublished at 22:15 British Summer Time 25 June 2016

    Croatia 0-0 Portugal

    Does either side have the guts to try and win it?

  8. Postpublished at 22:15 British Summer Time 25 June 2016

    This game is surely heading for penalties. Whichever team loses will be left to wonder why they didn't actually try to win the game at any point?

    It is utterly no risk football, designed to cling to a 50/50 chance of progress from spot-kicks.

  9. HALF-TIMEpublished at 22:13 British Summer Time 25 June 2016

    Croatia 0-0 Portugal

    So that's 105 minutes without a shot on target. No wonder there are boos from the stands in Lens.

    Luka Modric tries to get his team ticking, but while his cross reaches Ivan Perisic at the back post, the midfielder is on too tight an angle to threaten with his volleyed effort.

    Vedran Corluka is down following the corner. He is not a happy man. Looks like it might be a groin problem. It doesn't look like he'll be able to continue.

    This has to go down as one of the worst football matches ever seen.

    It gets worse. Ricardo Quaresma slips delivering a free-kick and is lucky that a Croatia head gifts his side a corner. Not that they can do anything with it as the Croatia defence head clear.

    Well, Croatia are at least having shots. They're not hitting the target - Marcelo Brozovic the latest culprit from about 25 yards - but at least they are shooting. I mean, what do we expect from Europe's best players? Accuracy? Pah.

    This is the first major tournament game without a shot on target inside 90 minutes since 1980.

    Oh, and there were no goals scored in any of the last four Euros matches that went to extra time...

    Oh good God. Nikola Kalinic gets in behind the Portugal defence and has an actual sight of goal. We all hold our breath as a shot on target - maybe even a goal - beckons, but the substitute slices his effort wide like his boot was a block of Toblerone.

    Andrew White: Been out all evening so just picking this game up now as it goes to extra time. What did I miss? 

    Stick around, Andrew. It's been a belter...

    I think the 90 minutes have reconditioned this crowd to what constitutes a close chance. They warmly applaud Nikola Kalinic's header, which loops harmlessly over the bar.

    Risky from Renato Sanchez. He has already been booked and barges into Luka Modric, sending him spinning to the turf in the Portugal half.

    Darijo Srna decides to take attacking matters into his own hands, but hammers his 35-yard free-kick into the wall.
