    I remember driving around honking in the rain after a Portugal win. Can't recall the game or year.

    I somewhat agree, but I want us to start coming out gun blazing.

    The only tournaments where we actually won our first game were at World Cup 2006 (1-0 vs Angola) and Euro 2008 (2-0 vs Turkey)

    Don't forget:
    World Cup 1966 Portugal 3-1 Hungary (swept the group incl Brazil)
    UEFA Euro 2000 Portugal 3-2 England (Swept the group incl Germany)

    We drew the openers for Euro 1984, Euro 1996, World Cup 2010, and Euro 2016

    We lost the opener of World Cup 2002, Euro 2004, Euro 2012 and World Cup 2014

    We almost swept every group we won the first game except 2008 where we already finished first and started 9 subs in a 2-0 Loss to the Swiss.

    We are 4 - 4 - 4 in the 12 tournament openers we've played in.

    Love how GD broight up euro 2008 cagao.
    Scolari really
    ********ed us. We could have easily
    Went to the final and played against Spain if that cagou didn't happen. 2012 another cagou with garbage penalty kickers, then Spain has a cake walk in the final.

    We were lucky in euro 20-6? Please. Haters are lucky we didn't win 5 straight euros from 2000-2016 .

    What kind of joints is the guy smoking? Russia is the host, but their team is mostly mediocre to very poor. Portugal should absolutely be favoured to top the group.

    Yup! It seems pretty straight forward that the 4 teams that should advance is Mexico, Portugal, Germany, and Chile.
