5) Portugal still aren’t clicking but they are getting the job done

Portugal are in the easier side of the draw and could make it to the final

Cristiano Ronaldo’s side might not be playing free-flowing attacking football or even good football but they are somehow getting the job done and now are in the quarter-finals of the tournament.

They are yet to be defeated in the tournament, though you could argue they have won just one game in four and have barely looked like a side that can actually win the tournament.

Cristiano Ronaldo might be playing his last Euros but these gritty performances could lead them all the way to the final and maybe even European glory.

Euro 2004 was a bitter moment for Ronaldo and maybe, just maybe after 12 years, the Real Madrid man might have something to celebrate with his national side.
