Éder's Cannon Perfectly Capped Off Euro 2016

Euro 2016 was emotional, inspiring, heartbreaking, beautiful and most definitely perfectly capped off Sunday night in Paris as Portugal hoisted the trophy after fighting off many roadblocks. A narrow advance to the knockout rounds after finishing 3rd place in their group, losing Pepe for the semifinals and lastly, watching their superstar be stretchered off in the early moments of the final was definitely enough for a team to lose hope. But the Portuguese dug deep and held off waves of attack from the French to earn a single moment in Euro history that will be forever remembered. Eder the 80th minute substitute, cemented his name in history as he smashed home a ball past Hugo Lloris to crown Portugal as champions for the first time. A moment of pure ecstasy for the Portuguese and utmost misery for the French but that is how the game of futbol goes. A beautiful, incredible tournament it was, full of underdogs and upsets, ended in the crowning of a new champion. A deserved champion as well. Congrats to Portugal. It is sad to see such a great tournament wrap up, but Euro 2016 will not be forgotten.
