And Slovenia miss straight away from the spot

[Steveo]

Ronny scores and Slovenia miss their second in a row.

Slovenia done oof

Wow. 3 saves out of 3 at full stretch from Diogo Costa. Portugal go through

[3underpar]

Hard to remember three worse pens in a row

[Steveo]

Great defensive show but Slovenia can’t score goals and ultimately if you can’t do that you can’t progress.

Glad Portugal are through. Be a better gave v France

2004 Greece wants a word...

Actually, I've done Greece a disservice there. They actually scored in every game, I had it in my head they won the tournament with 0-0s and pens.

Yea I mean those pens last night from the Slovenes - added to the 2 glaring Sesko misses when put through.. They were about as toothless a team as you will ever see.

I felt for them for sure - all that extremely decent defending etc... but then again... a football pitch has 2 nets, the idea is to hit the back of one of them.. The Greeks were similar except they did have the nack of nicking a goal. Slovenia only doing that up against the Serbs who lets face it turned up with probably the worst side in their history.

That Sesko miss at the end was awful.

I was having a conversation with my mate the other day about number 9s. There just seems to be a lack of actual clinical goal scorers in world football at the moment.

Lewandowski is probabaly the last of the traditional number 9.
