SAINT-DENIS, France -- Wasteful finishing came back to haunt France in the European Championship final against Portugal on Sunday, with even tournament top scorer Antoine Griezmann missing chance after chance.Despite being willed on by an entire country and a packed French crowd, France failed to come up with any original ideas against a stubborn Portugal defense rallied by unyielding defender Pepe.Midway through the second half, Griezmann reached for Kingsley Comans cross from the left and headed over from a few meters out. Deep into injury time, substitute Andre-Pierre Gignac hit the post with the goal at his mercy.Although Portugal goalkeeper Rui Patricio made several good saves, including one outstanding leaping save from Griezmanns looping header in the ninth minute and another athletic stop to palm away Moussa Sissokos long-range drive in the 8th, his other stops were more comfortable.Coach Didier Deschamps will have felt a familiar feeling of frustration.Although France finished top scorers with 13 goals, it squandered chances throughout the group stage, needing an 89th-minute goal from Dimitri Payet to beat Romania 2-1 in the opening game and with Griezmann breaking the deadlock against Albania in the 90th.He scored freely after that, netting five goals in the knockout stage to help France reach its first final since the 2006 World Cup.In the final, his goal touch deserted him.At the final whistle, center half Laurent Koscielny squatted on his knees, head down. But it was not the defense that let France down.When France won Euro 2000, it needed an equalizing goal from Sylvain Wiltord with the last kick of injury time to force extra time against Italy. Striker David Trezeguet then scored the Golden Goal winner.Sixteen years later, there was no such happy ending. Tony Bradley Jersey . 1 position.

Karl Malone Jazz Jersey .J. -- Josh Cribbs was in the Pro Bowl in February and out of a job six months later.Ronnie OSullivan closed in on a record-equalling fourth Welsh Open title by beating Joe Perry 6-3 in the semi-finals. The Rocket will meet Neil Robertson on Sunday for the trophy and £60,000 first prize at Cardiffs Motorpoint Arena.Five-time world champion OSullivan already has three Welsh crowns to his name and victory would see him match the record of four held by John Higgins. After taking a break from competitive snooker for the first few months of the season, OSullivan has been nearly flawless in 2016, winning his last 18 matches.He captured the Masters crown in January and now stands on the brink of his 28th ranking title, which would match the tallies of Higgins and Steve Davis.Perry had chances in the opening frame, but when he missed the penultimate red OSullivan stepped in with a 41 clearance to snatch it.The players then had to take an unscheduled interval due to a technical problem backstage which prevented television broadcast of the early stages.Once the cameras were rolling, Perry warmed up with an excellent 139 clearance to level. OSullivan regained the lead with a 124 before Perry squared with a run of 92. Neil Robertson set to go head-to-head with OSullivan for Welsh glory But he could do little against a barrage of high scoring after the interval as OSullivan fired in 101, 94 and 88 breaks to go 5-2 ahead.ddddddddddddPerry capitalised to pull one back, but OSullivan cracked in a long red and cleared with 78 to book his place in the final.In the past three or four years I have been expressing myself and produced the same type of snooker I played when I was 14 or 15, OSullivan told World Snooker.Now its about my legacy and leaving a mark
