Portuguese fans the world over lost their minds as their curse looked like it was finally lifting, and all they had to do was sacrifice Cristiano Ronaldo's left knee.
Ronaldo had criticised minnows Iceland for celebrating like they had won the Euros when they struck a late equaliser against Portugal in their opening game - and the Icelandic commentator certainly sounded like he thought they had.
And with Eder's goal hitting the back of the net, it was the Portuguese commentators' turn to lose their minds - and lose it they did.
Look, we know it's an emotional moment for any fan to see their team win, especially after so many years of near-misses, so we can forgive the commentators for not knowing what quite to say. But we feel a little sorry for any Portuguese supporters who now have this incessant screaming sound-tracking their most cherished sporting memory.

Still, it's heart-warming to see just how much it meant to them. We can't really picture Michael Owen losing it in quite the same way.
