It's long since proved that no one knows anything, but already these Euros have shown that our plight is even worse - and better - than originally feared. Knowing nothing is a neutral state; being wrong almost all the time is entirely different. And beautiful! Oh, us!

Well, that was very good indeed. Night all.

Full-time: Portugal 1-1 Iceland. Well, whaddaya know! Portugal are Portugal, but what a performance from Iceland, hanging in after going behind and coming as close to winning as losing. Portugal will be nervous now, having failed to beat a team who might be lose their next two games. Iceland will be buzzing, with a point taken off their most difficult opponents.
90+4
Portugal win a free-kick and Ronaldo thumps it from 40 yards - Finnbogason stops it with his hand, and is booked. Ronaldo now stands over the ball from 25 yards ... and hits the wall again!

90+2'
Portugal win a free-kick on the right, halfway between touchline and penalty box ... and Quaresma hits the first man. Should've used the outside of his foot.

There shall be three additional minutes.

Iceland are comfortable, more or less.

And what's this! Finnbogason weaves across the face of the goal and welts a left-footer looking for the curl to take it into the top-corner! But he doesn't quite get enough fade, and Rui Patricio punches clear.

Oh dearie, dearie me. Nani, out on the right, wraps his foot around a cross and caresses the ball directly onto the middle of Ronaldo's middle furrow. But, somehow, he contrives to plop it into the keeper's arms.

Er, ok. Andre Gomes, Portugal's best player, is replaced by Eder of uselessness at Swansea fame.
83'
Portugal aren't really cohesive enough around the box. The one-touch passing that breaks down defences - the one-touch passing that created their goal - has been conspicuous by its absence in the second half.
82'
Ronaldo wins a free-kick 40 yards out, left of centre, and strikes the pose. His shot is low and deflected behind for a corner, taken by Quaresma; Pepe heads high at the near post.

First change for Iceland: Finnbogason replaces Sigthorsson.
79'
Rui Patricio is now meeting clearances close to the halfway line - but don't rule out another Iceland goal on the break, because they're looking for it.
79'
That Nani chance aside, Portugal have created nowt since Iceland scored.
78'
In case you're wondering about how your life is going.
77'
State of this group should this game stay as is. Oh yes.
76'
Another change: Quaresma, not entirely fit, replaces Joao Mario.
