Gotta give Hungary credit though, they've been hungrier despite being already qualified.

Maybe we slept a bit too much on Hungary, but with Austria disappointing that's a wash. This group is, no offense Iceland and Hungary, weak. For Portugal to not get through would be a massive blemish on Ronaldo's career. Wales got out of a tougher group.

As a supporter of N. Ireland, I know all too well, the road is long, but you've got to love the underdog.

No argument. This should have been a cakewalk. Wales had a much tougher group. Even if Portugal do manage to go through, it'll be by the skin of their teeth which is an indictment in and of itself.

Sweatpants with the save!!

No question, but the story of this tournament has been teams scoring then sitting back and trying to hold a lead way too long and conceding.

I think this was the easiest group in the tournament....two countries just happy to be there, and a country that has never done anything of significance before in the sport. Portugal should've walked out of this with 9 points. They were probably assuming that too.

Not that I'm complaining.

I kind of want Portugal to win this still and finish second.

England-Portugal is more exciting than England - Hungary.

Early, yes, but as it currently stands it would be Iceland-England in the Round of 16. Yes please.

Icelanders love England. Most here cheer for them in major tournaments so that match up would be quite something. Also Iceland only needs a tie correct?

A tie might push them into 3rd though (still qualified). A win might get them into 1st! it's wide open.

There's a lot of scenarios that could happen. Even Belgium could still miss out on the round of 16. Should be a fun day.
