Wait! Portugal was 4th in the world at the time? They really are such a horrible team that has never played at any high level since at least 2006 to deserve such a rating.
True but they have also made something like 6 consecutive QFs in either Euros or World cups or maybe it was Major tournaments in general. I need to check on that but it was some unreal stat I heard once and need to look up again. Edit: Well it can't be WCs it must be euros... Duh. Edit#2 Yeah ok Wikipedia says its 6 consecutive Euro group advancements going back to 96.
I would like to add that this is the first time we've ever won three matches in a row at any major (Not Gold Cup) tournament in our modern era, and the first time we've won three matches at a major tournament since 1995 Copa America. *Y'all feel free to fact-check me because mine was rushed and not that thorough.*
@cleansheetbsc There you go. I said it was something I only heard once so the deets were fuzzy. The power of Wikipedia compels me! ...Apparently it compelled Italy too! 1-0
