Yeah, Red group is too tough! Kuznetskva is already in the final so we'll know it today. Though I must say it's sad, Konta is already in Singapore taking part on the selfies and all that typical media stuff of a WTA Finals, all this without knowning if she's gonna take part or not...

Yes, I only said that because I'm a big country music fan I know, Portugal's choice was way different (not at all Portuguese traditional like in past TISC) but like I say many times, although I want my song to perform the best possible in the contest, my goal is not to win but to show some unknown Portuguese music to 30 other nations and if only one of you enjoy it then my mission is done :-D

WTA Finals is scheduled to start next week and the groups are already defined: 8º Player will probably be Johanna Konta, unless Kuznetsova wins in Moscow I think.

So here's a funny pic mocking one of last Cristiano Ronaldo's picture with his humble Lamborghini. I am portuguese, he is our best football player in History, and I really admire him as an athlete, but all this things are really funny!

I didn't understand a word of the commentators, but I laugh as much as they did haha

That gave me quite a laugh, I never heard about that case before She really is a legend

Is she going to retire??

For me the great thing of this contest is to be able to listen to a lot of new music from around the world (i'm still listinening french Jain from this year's annual edition ) and to have fun sharing votes and opinions about those songs. All the additional stuff you might add to it, it will always be a plus! (Though personally I really like it when you organizers put pictures from landscapes or monuments of your own country, it's really a great way to get to know different nations )

Great match from Benfica! I wonder if they might beat the odds here and win the group...

We have that here too sometimes (though in a much light version of hooliganism, the only "weapon" they use are petards sometimes) between the 3 main teams (Fc Porto, Benfica and Sporting). The chairman and board members of those teams spent years and years insulting each other and as a result, those "fans" started to get really angry against their rivals and brought violence to the matches on the past 20 years. This happened not only in football matches but to other sports those 3 teams play, ruining those sports (roller hockey, basketball, handball, futsal, non-popular sports that you could go and watch the games peaceful and now it's better to watch it on TV....). I have to say though that in the past 2 years the things got a bit better. The hate still exists (and a lot, we have tv shows where "famous" fans from each of the big teams insult each other for 2 hours.....) but I think nowadays that hate between fans happens on facebook and social media only

@hckosice Sagan is also popular here, our best national canoeist (Fernando Pimenta, our Silver - and only - medal in London 2012) went to the MTB event in Rio just to make sure he could get a picture with Peter

I was wondering why the extreme security they placed here in Lisbon when Legia came to play Sporting, now I understand it http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/legia-fans-clash-police-madrid--9073218 Are Legia Warszawa supporters always like this in Poland too? Why aren't they arrested?

Yes, we joke here that the Leicester and Porto group should play at Thursday's (because it looks like an Europa League group )

Different lucks for portuguese teams: Porto won with a lot of luck (penalty in last minute) against a really weak Club Brugge; Sporting lost, as expected, with Dortmund. The only team that may deserve to go to second phase is probably Benfica (I'm curious about tomorrow match in Kiev), the other two belong to the Europa League....

Wow, great work @dcro!!! Now I know the real goal for Portugal: 66 points

So, Karate World Championships starts next week in Linz (Austria)! Does anybody know which events are going to take part in Tokyo 2020? I'm assuming one of them will be individual Kata, but for Kumite which weight classes are gonna be "olympic"?

And I keep wondering if USA will ever treat us with American Country music

Great analysis! I agree with everything you say (except the "german head coach" one because I don't follow german cycling team ). Luckily I think next year's in Bergen will have a much interesting and challenging route And I also hope for a better result for my national team. I mean, I knew it would be tough because Rui Costa wasn't there, and I know they were just 3 of them, but not even a single one finished the race.... and Nelson Oliveira can do much better than 20º on Time Trial....

This time it was more difficult to choose, but after listening more to the songs the decision got easier Portugal's votes are in!

What an amazing racer is Sagan!!!

Yap, one of my surnames indeed Though I had no idea that Silva was "Forest" in Latin. In Portuguese it's the name of a plant

How funny, Andreia is a girl's name here

Nice to see that our first King (the one that gave us independence from Spain, 900 years ago ) is on the list (102nd)

17th? So that means there were 16 monarchs who rule for more than 70 years???!!
