They’ve made it, right at the end! Portugal have sealed their place in the play-offs thanks to a 4-0 victory over Malta.

Simao Sabrosa, Luis Nani, Liedson, and Edinho all found the back of the net as the hosts cruised past their opponents.

Despite the absence of the injured Cristiano Ronaldo, Portugal made it to the final step of qualification.

Wow!! Greece was that good?? I never watch them play, but if they did beat Portugal, they must have been a fantastic team, since Rooney said that Portugal is a tough rival.

I want Portugal v Bosnia or Portugal v Slovenia. If it’s Portugal v Greece, Portugal can lose. Greece beat Portugal three times in a row (twice during Euro 2004 and once in a friendly ahead of Euro 2008).
