By Brian Homewood MARCOUSSIS, France (Reuters) - Portugal's players are treating Sunday's Euro 2016 final as the game of their lives and a chance to go down in their country's history, midfielder Joao Mario said on Friday. The 23-year-old also shrugged off criticism that Portugal, who have won only one match inside 90 minutes at the tournament, had yet to sparkle. Portugal, hoping to win an international title for the first time, take on hosts France in Sunday's final, 12 years after losing at home to Greece in their only other major final.
