Oh Belgium, why did you let me down. I should have known that playing on a 13th was a bad idea.

Belgium - Italy 0-2

FINALS: Portugal - France 1-0

Not the host nation but the underdogs have prevailed. And they came a long way! We all remember Portugal's first game against Iceland with a Ronaldo refusing to trade shirts with an Icelandic player. The same Ronaldo who would later throw the microphone of a journalist in a pond. The frustration and agony that they only ended 3rd in their group behind Hungary and Iceland.

But all that is forgotten now and so it happens that not Jean, not Johann, not John, not Juan but Joao can celebrate today.

heh I'm not sure if I've ever been more disinterested in a final of 'anything', and Wimbledon was pretty ordinary!

And it wasn't exactly riveting football either. Might be a final quickly forgotten by everyone I think. Not that Ronaldo will let anyone forget :) anytime soon!

At least it didn't go to penalties!!

Can someone explain the switching shirts thing? Is it a sportsmanship thing?

Yep, it's a token of mutual respect. Some players keep these shirts in a trophy room. Others might even auction it off later.
