Portuguese culture

I'm ashamed of it. National team to prepare for Euro and CR does this... what a circus 

[Faliro]

Maybe this is how Ronaldo prepares?

[KamikazeSLB]

The thought that is in Portugal about Ronaldo is that he doesn't know about national team. But as he's the best and can make a difference (without him we were a banal team) all is forgiven.

Portugal since 2010 with Carlos Queiroz (not coach) has become a set of exhibitionists. Some times goes well, others not.

Captain fantastic.. only captain of the seleccao to give Portugal fans the finger, and gets away with it...

Pqp...

[Faliro]

My father played sports, but never professionally because he refused to quit smoking. He was offered many times to represent his country at under 21 level, but refused.

From the moment Ronaldo signed for Man U, he told me he would be one of the greatest ever players. I asked why. He said because his body is exceptionally good. Natural athlete.

I was a bit mythed because in those days, Cristiano looked like this..

[KamikazeSLB]

He is a physical phenomenon. But at the end of the season is always injured and exhausted because Real Madrid uses him out of bounds.

Very attention to our young talent, Renato Sanches, he has symilar physical characteristics to Ronaldo, but he's only 18 years old (in November just 17). Germany will be a good step for him because it will have a lot of discipline and rigor.

A few nice words about Greece, from one of the most relevant figures in Portuguese history:

"Our civilization is formed out of the superimposition of three elements:

1 - The Greco-Roman element.
2 - The Christian element.
3 - The Modern element.

What's exceptional in us is Greco-Roman - the Modern is neither good, nor bad - the Christian is the secular disease that we carry within.

The entire Renaissance between us, starts with a return to the Greco-Roman formula. It's through it, that we have created the good that lives in the modern.

(...)

-Our concept of beauty is Greek; where it is not Greek, it is fake, broken, either by christian concepts, or by modern ideas.
-Our mission, lucidly conceived, is to retrieve the lost Greco-Roman tradition. We have within ourselves, surviving Greco-Roman elements for that. To modernize the Hellenism - here's our goal.


(...)

The whole period of decadence among us is christian. Above that, hovers the pure and noble Greek ideal."

If someone did this in Portugal, would they have reacted the same as the English?

What about it? Also, there's no such thing as an "Azorean accent". The Azores are 9 islands, each island has its own accent, and that same accent varies from village to village on the same island. This guy's accent is Micaelense, from S. Miguel.

Sorry for digging this up, but I just found this post.
