Chris Sutton: 'I thought it would be more of a contest'
I thought it was a lot more pragmatic selection from the start for Turkey. Leaving Arda Guler and Kenan Yildiz out, you can maybe understand why as this was up a level. We know Portugal's qualities, but this was a way to measure Turkey and they were found out.
Portugal's bench is so strong and this is perfect for Roberto Martinez as he can rest players in the final group game. Before the game, I thought it would be more of a contest.

Gary Neville: 'Ronaldo one of the greatest we will ever see'
895 goals for club and country, it's not right that, honestly, his [Cristiano Ronaldo] professionalism, he is a phenomenon, and he is one of the greatest we will ever see. 895 goals is bordering on illegal.
He is one of the very first players I remember, he wanted to be one of the best players in the world. What he has done is off the scale.

'Bedlam here, but a good kind'
Bedlam here, but a good kind. The atmosphere is fantastic. I’d give some credit for that to the Portuguese fans, but this feels very much like a home game for Turkey. There is a huge Turkish population in Germany and Dortmund in particular, with approximately 23,000 Turks in the city.
The drive to this magnificent stadium was accompanied by the usual tailgate party, with Turkish flags trailing and horns incessantly honking. The latter included the driver of my cab, though he was irate about the traffic.
