Portugal are through. Penalty shootout. Portugal 3 Slovenia 0 Portugal goalkeeper saved all three Slovenia penalties. Portugal will meet France in the quarter finals.

Full time of extra time. Portugal 0 Slovenia 0 We go to penalties. Masterclass of defence from Slovenia.

Half time if extra time. Portugal 0 Slovenia 0 Ronaldo missed a penalty after 113 minutes.

Full time Portugal 0 Slovenia 0 Extra time to be played. Slovenia have played superbly in defence. Portugal have huffed and puffed, with the most possession, but haven't created very much because Slovenia have had a great game plan.

Half Time Portugal 0 Slovenia 0 Slovenia are allowing Portugal to have the ball, & try to catch Portugal on the break. Portugal have hit the post in the last minute of the half, Ronaldo has had a free kick that just went over, but Portugal have been frustrated in the first half. Sure Slovenia will continue with the same tactic in the 2nd half.

This is great news and I'm sure we can expect the total to pass the 6000 mark. Notts are really buzzing on the financial front with all the money making innovations coming thick and fast, and it is so good to see. To get success nowadays a football club has to be on a firm financial footing and thanks to Notts's innovative owners, we are seeing it before our eyes. Exciting times.

Round of the last 16 match. Portugal 0 Slovenia 0 1 mins gone.

Early bird forecast for Tuesday.

Next up tonight in the round of the last sixteen is:- Portugal v Slovenia Portugal are another one of the top teams that have flattered to deceive in Euro 24, winning two & losing to Georgia in the group matches. Portugal have to think of their future without Ronaldo, who has been quite tepid so far. Slovenia won one match & lost two in their group games, & sneaked through to the knockout stages with a third place in their group. I think Portugal will get through to face France in the quarters, but they will need to improve.

Full Time. France 1 Belgium 0 France go through with a fortuitous goal and will face Portugal or Slovenia in the quarter finals.

France have broken the deadlock late in the game by s deflected shot on goal. Sums up the game really France 1 Belgium 0 87 min gone

Half Time. France 0 Belgium 0. Not a very inspiring game so far. Could be going to extra time.

The new strip is absolutely stunning and I love the the badge in the centre. Really pleased that Notts have continued with the traditional black and white stipes as opposed to pinstripes. Notts are really on the money literally, with everything they are doing at the moment, what with the incoming players, the new pitch, the Nest, & now this new strip.

Nothing to write home about here at the moment France 0 Belgium 0 22 min gone

Round of 16 France 0 Belgium 0 1 min gone

So the first match today is. France v Belgium France have been misfiring a little in this tournament, they only won one & drew two of their group matches & they finished 2nd to Austria in their group. We all know that at their best, France are arguably the best international team in the World, & they have the World's best player, Mbappe. We all know that Belgium can be a dangerous side for anyone to play, & they have their own talisman, Lukaku. Belgium won one, lost one ,& drew each of their 3 group matches, & like France, have not been at their best. I think this match will be quite close and a little cagey. It may take a moment of brilliance that separates the sides in the end.

So the first two quarter finals will be between:- England v Switzerland Germany v Spain. There are two last sixteen games to be decided today, these are:- France vs Belgium (Düsseldorf, 17:00) Portugal vs Slovenia (Frankfurt, 20:00)

@BiggestPieInGlasgow I agree, there's so much happening at Notts at the moment, it is getting hard to keep track of it all The new pitch, the incoming and outgoing players, the Nest and now the new Kit. And I'm sure there's more to come before the season starts
