Call me old school but aren't you supposed to save the celebrations for after winning the Final instead of totally jinxing it????
Not that I want Ronaldo to win or anything BUT why give added motivation to Portugal?? The better team or the home team doesn't always win win the underdog has intense psychological motivation. Indeed, that is exactly and precisely what just happened to the Golden State Warriors. They shot their load too early, they began to feel entitlted, their fans began to get way too cocky, meanwhile the opponent Cleveland Cavs were not robots, they were human beings, and the emotions improved their play on the court.
If I am Portugal I use this. When you are an underdog you can play with added balls of "what do I have to lose?"
I don't know enough about either of these teams to make an analysis based prediction, but I wouldn't dismiss Portugal simply because France is at home.
