Photos: Vasco Erupts After Portugal’s 2 – 1 Win
Portugal fans are in full celebration mode this afternoon [June 17], following Portugal’s 2-1 victory against the Netherlands in the European Championship, which earned them a spot in the quarterfinals.
Local Portugal supporters wasted no time in showing their excitement over the win, with a motorcade travelling through the City with supporters beeping their horns and waving flags. People can also be seen waving flags from the balcony of the Vasco Da Gama Club on Reid Street, while supporters dance in the streets.
Sports Illustrated reports that, “Cristiano Ronaldo finally found the form he was lacking at the European Championship, scoring twice Sunday to give Portugal a 2-1 win over the Netherlands and a spot in the quarterfinals.
“The Real Madrid forward failed to sparkle in Portugal’s two previous matches but he was devastating against the Dutch. He produced an equalizer with his first goal of the tournament in the 28th minute and scored the winner in the 74th.”
“The Dutch lost in the World Cup final to Spain two years ago and, with stars like Van Persie, Arjen Robben and Wesley Sneijder, had anticipated a strong run at Euro 2012. Instead, it will be Portugal in the quarterfinals facing the Czech Republic on Thursday in Warsaw.”

Portugal knows how to spend a million dollars for their team , not just shopping trips like Bermudas lol
lets keep these commentes clean ,Potugal knows how to spend a million dollars on their team ,thats why they are in the big financial mess that they ‘re in, and have their people suffering the way they do making 480 euros a Month.
“Let’s keep these comments clean”, yet you still reply in the same manner. Great job. What he menat was that Portugal spent millions on their team and got positive results. Bermuda spent millions and got negative results. I don’t feel that his post was menat to be negative towards Bermuda or it’s citizens. He even put an “lol” at the end of his comments. Kinda like “Hey dude, you look buff, no homo”.
Early days…early days. Still a lot more football to come!
They gonna be real upset when they lose again. They may be very proud people but they down everyone else! Christiano is garbage! Espana all di wayyyy!!
The way they played on Sunday, they can go far! Let the people celebrate!
Win or Lose we always are proud of our team!
