LYON (Reuters) - Having reached the Euro 2016 semi-finals without winning a game in 90 minutes it is probably time for Portugal fans to stop worrying about their misfiring forwards and instead give credit to the coach and defenders who have got the to the last four.

And, having had their dreams destroyed by Greece when they reached their only tournament final on home soil in the 2004 Euros, they should shake off any ill-feelings they hold towards the Greeks and instead recognise how they too have contributed to their progress in France.
