Hey hey! Those are busy times here for the Portuguese delegation (i moved to the Netherlands recently), but there is no way I would miss this contest!! After all, Portugal and Great Britain share the oldest alliance in the world still in force, since 1386!!! Not really sure if there is any song that I find suitable, but something will be arranged!!

Best player in the world.... of 2016 Haters gonna hate!

Ronaldo won the "Best FIFA Men's Player" award!!!

This Saturday died Mario Soares, a man we called the "Father of Democracy", a man who while young fought the Far-Right dictatorship (got arrested and tortured multiple times), that after the end of dictatorship was responsible for uniting the people against a Communist attempt to take power, a man that was prime minister and then President of our country, and the man who was responsible for Portugal entrance to the European Union, with all the benefits that brought to our nation. People are making lines to "say goodbye" to one of the most important persons of Portuguese modern history:

Zermatt

So I returned here to check the winner... guess I will have to wait until tomorrow haha

And this will be my last (and only haha) participation here, as I have to go now (i'll only wait to see the result of my prediction ) Good luck to everyone and may the luckiest person here won! I'll check the results when I return

Ok, number 1!!

Ok! I warn when I will need to go. Let's hope I don't give bad luck hehe

I'm here if needed, but I can only play for a few rounds

I'm not sure I'm gonna be here either. I'll probably be eating dinner by that time

in the northern west. We at the South-West eat between 20h and 21h , and I think the Spanish eat even later

That's a good idea, a joined hosting like in football (Belgium/Netherlands, Korea/Japan, Poland/Ukraine). Maybe if you win you can do Algeria/Tunisia and make a joined African hosting

He is being mocked here because of that video. Not that it isn't a good message for a good cause, because it is, and he is admired for that. But because he said "I am a very famous player" on a message for Syrian refugees

I think I've already put this here before somewhere on this forum, but anyway here you go. It's his real mother btw...

Oh, and btw, MERRY F*CKING CHRISTMAS TO EVERYONE! (link to the south park song: South Park - Merry Christmas )

Home Alone? (this year we have a tv commercial with Cristiano Ronaldo and his mother playing like Home Alone movie.... )

Actually I enjoyed this year's contest. It's just a music contest with an opening ceremony showing the host's country plus the "emotion" of having the classifications changes while the votes are being presented. Just that, nothing more. Anything that the host decides to do (logo, special features on the opening ceremony, special designed board, anything else) is extra, very well apreciable - aparently almost everyone here has work/study/something really important to do in real life, so I had to be a jerk not to give value to someone who tries to make anything extra for the contest -, but just and only an extra!! And I'm not s*** up neither I think anyone is, this is a sport forum, I don't think people here need each other approvals on their real life.

SUPER Ronaldo!!

Well I always see this kind of awards as very ambiguous, just like saying that one player is better than another one (for example some prefer Messi, others Ronaldo, others Neymar, etc). Pepe had a truly hero performance during the Euro, but Ronaldo did an awesome work in the Championship League and was really important for our national team Euro title... Nevertheless what matters is that he got the award, and that it's another award for him and for Portugal

2 portuguese on top 10, 3 on top 15 (btw, what are those points based on? there's a HUGE difference between Ronaldo and Messi here! )

So we are getting close to Christmas Holidays, and I want to share with you a Portuguese theme from the early 90's that got so popular that nowadays everyone sings it at this time of the year. (I'm sharing here because I would never send this as a TISC entry, but I would like to show it anyways ) As a curiosity fact, when there are football matches between any of our 3 big teams (Benfica, Porto, Sporting) during this time of the year (from mid-November to December's 25th), the winning team fans sing this song to their rivals to provoke them

What? Weren't you cheering for the Colombian team? (I assume your team is the rival of Atletico Nacional no? hehe )

The winner of 2016 Ballon D'Or is.... Cristiano Ronaldo!!!! It's the 4th in his career, and he is the best portuguese football player ever!

Is your team Arsenal? That's one team I was hoping to avoid for Porto, they always humiliate Porto with 4-0, 5-0, 6-0 (btw a curiosity, you don't have a favourite Serbian team? )
