    All year people have been criticising Jose Mourinho for sitting back and defending.....which is what every successful team in the euros is doing! Other than Denmark of course.

    What a 2nd half. Would have loved an extra 30 mins of that.

    Belgium barely had a touch of the ball near the goal in the entire game.

    Their goal was their only shot on target.

    A goal worthy of winning any game...

    FT: Belgium 1-0 Portugal

    It's very strange to be contemplating that we have seen the very final major tournament contribution of Cristiano Ronaldo. He's such a staple part of any international event.

    Mind you, if he keeps on the water, he could well end up playing until he's 50.

    You've got to say Portugal were probably the better team on the night. Belgium just defended in numbers and the goalkeeper when called upon made the saves. They got a bit wasteful on the counter attack in the last 15 minutes, they could have put the game to bed.

    For me, Portugal same old problem. Don't get enough people in the box when you're crossing balls in. It's all shots. They don't get enough players around Ronaldo and they've paid the price again. Belgium used all that experience they've got and defended really, really well.

    Some foolish cameraman is sticking his camera right in the face of Pepe, who nods at him but whose eyes speak of much fouler things he'd like to do.

    David Mitchell-Baker: Belgium have played extremely well tonight but I wonder how they’ll fair against a red hot Italy potentially without DeBruyne and Hazard

    Cristiano Ronaldo stares to the sky as he trudges off. Is that the last time we'll see him at a major tournament?

    The Belgium players embrace. They are going on to meet Italy in the last eight.

    Portuguese platers drop to the turf. Their grip on the Euros trophy is released. They're going home.

    Thorgan Hazard - looking like the match-winner - is off, replaced by Leander Dendoncker.

    Portugal come forward again. It falls to Joao Felix... who scuffs his shot wide.

    Is that the last chance?

    Vaishach: Once again . A very good game from Lukaku . You won’t see it on the stat sheet but this was a vital performance

    Mark Adamson: Portugal were bang average against Hungary, woeful against Germany, decent in spurts against France and inept tonight. For all the talent involved they have drastically underperformed this tournament

    More Portugal pressure, but Belgium stay strong, heading away a chipped cross from Joao Felix.

    There are nine Portugal players around the Belgium box but Diogo Dalot goes for a long-range effort that he scoops over the bar.

    So many last-ditch tackles in the last 10 minutes. The ball is whipped off the toe of Cristiano Ronaldo in the box.

    Bruno Fernandes must be the single most overrated player on the planet right now. Hasn't impacted the game at all since he came on.
