The Seleccao's victory in France was hard to stomach for a fair number of football's neutrals, but were they really as negative as their detractors are making out?
Three group stage draws, a round of 16 win in extra time, victory against Poland only through penalties and a 109th-minute winner in the final. Portugal's Euro 2016 triumph was hardly comprehensive.
Football is split on the Seleccao's first major tournament victory, albeit rather one-sidedly. While some feel Fernando Santos's men should be lauded for sticking to their guns and grinding out results, no matter how uninspiring, others feel crestfallen that a brand of wholly unexciting football has been rewarded.
