Eusebio is 100% Portuguese. Moçambique, at that time, was Portugal, as Madeira is today.
Imagine that Madeira become an independent country in the future? Ronaldo it will be really Portuguese?

Not arguing either :D but... we do see him a as true Portuguese, just like other countries see their "foreigners" as their own :D
Pepe is the perfect example of a Brazilian born that has taken the portuguese nation as its own ;) Speaking of which... what a remarkable player :D

100% accurate ;)

Territorry or not, important is what that guy feels and which nation is playing for.
In such case, 5 Albanian players in Swiss team should not be called Swiss players because they are not genetically. Or Ozil for Germany and so on.
For as long he represents a nation, means he is part of that nation.

Pepe is another "history". A true "not really" Portuguese player

Then what to say of Di Stefano that played for Argentina, Colombia and Spain :D

Quote ( Fernando Fernandes @ June 21st 2012,23:41:56 ) Then what to say of Di Stefano that played for Argentina, Colombia and Spain :D Things were different back then, you could play for as many national teams you wanted to. Even Puskas played for both Hungary and Spain.
I won`t go any further with this discussion, it`s clear we have different views on the subject and we`ll just carry on forever (or until Winkley shoots us), without reaching a consent. :)

Joke from one of Bulgarian sites (don’t know is the original one)
Tonight Greece football team will play with new T-shirts with logo "Deutschland". FIFA asked Greece football federation why? The answer is - “They are our sponsors” :D

I like to see all the love for my country in this forum :D
So small country already with 4 golden balls and with the best ever coach, I agree that for some people it's hard to accept. ;)
Beautiful football yesterday, thank you Portugal for all the entertainment.

True and it seems CR found his golden boots again, with a bit of luck he would already be at 7-8 goals this tournament

Perhaps a Gomez vs Ronaldo face-off for the tournament top scorer?

I'm sorry if it seems so! I apologize to all Portuguese man and women about that! I havent got any problem with Portugal! But ronaldo's disgusting behavior and attitude unacceptable for me!
Its a shame that you had such a national hero after many brilliant Portuguese footballer (Eusebio, Figo) and other national heroes (Fernão de Magalhães, António Egas Moniz etc.).

yeah Andrei, unfortunately Gomez has been in touch with a ball for 26 seconds in two first games... and Ronaldo has already hit 4 or even 5 posts and still both of them have 3 goals :/.
i was on the stadium yesterday, the game was awesome, Portugal Portugal Portugal! :)

Yeah, I see what you mean, Mateusz. :) No real contest. Still, maybe CR7 finds some more form. :)

No offense taken Roland as far as i´m concerned. But we have to defend what´s ours and Ronaldo is one of them ;)

Yes we have national heroes. I can assure you that they are not football players :D (at least for me). Perhaps the problem is that you don't know them (like you knew the old ones) but... that's your problem, not mine :)

ok, admit Ronaldo is a great player etc
but what I find bloody annoying is that in every Portugal game in every single possible moment broadcast switches to CR7Cam. It's like there are no other players on the pitch.
Same to a little less extent goes with Zlatan, Rooney etc. but not as much as CR .. dislike that even the broadcast tries to make games some superstar-vs-superstar games ignoring the all other team, like media drumming those mega names isn't enough already.
