This moment matches Rickie's goal against Scotland for me...so pleased for Cedric, but especially Jose, what he has achieved since he joined us 6 years ago is staggering.
Jose turned Portugal around with his leadership. Genuinely believe he's overshadowed Pepe as the outstanding centre half of the knockouts
We will never know of course, but I have a suspicion that is Ronaldo had stayed on, Portugal would not have won. Their play is/was too predictable with him and as such, can be easier to defend against.
Have any of the others got near the trophy, or has Jose just held on ever since it was handed to him at the presentation?!
So do i. Pepe had his great moments, but very soon after Jose came into the defence they achieved a solidity where I realised that any opposition were going to have to have a moment of genius to beat them. And, as usual, Jose made both his fellow CBs look good whether it was Pepe or Alves. Jose was the rock his team built their victory upon. And Cedric had a game in the final which showed what he is capable of as a RB.

Message to Lovren and Alderweireld. This moment is worth more than your money. Who's the Daddy. In the words of the great Rickie Lambert. "I owe everything to Southampton Football Club."
