Just ask Poland. The country never trailed at the UEFA Euro 2016 tournament but is heading home after losing in a penalty shootout to Portugal at Stade Velodrome in Marseille, France, on Thursday, 1-1 (5-3 on penalties).
Football can be a beautiful sport too.
Just ask Portugal. Despite not yet winning a game in regulation and holding a lead in this tournament for all of 19 minutes, per James Horncastle of BT Sport, it is off to the semifinals on a day when Cristiano Ronaldo scuffed several opportunities and Poland took a lead less than two minutes into the match on a Robert Lewandowski goal.
