notice Greece has a cross in the flags, most likely they've gone to the crusades, so they were already christian, and the Portuguese never conquered Greece, not even in Euro2004 #$"%"#%$"#%

for those who don't know, the Final of Euro2004 was Portugal vs Greece, if my memory isn't failing i think they won 1 - 2, damn bad luck we couldn't score! although we had better team, most ball possession and much more attack. The Greeks scored in a corner, then a counter-attack, and i think we scored a single goal before the end.

I remember hearing about that, and I don't normally remember soccer information (as an American).  However, I do know that David Beckham premiers with the Los Angeles Galaxy on July the 21st.

What about Turkey?

the Portuguese never been in Turkey

clue: the Portuguese never had crusaders, although we became the home of allot of templars, like the 'Order of Christ' that gave us that big red cross.



look! here it is again...behind the Portuguese shield.

Christiano Ronaldo...grr...I had Portugal winning the World Cup (over host Germany) in my pool last year, and I expected him to turn in a legendary performance in the semis against France.  Instead they get slightly ripped off by the refs and proceed to roll over.

we thought we wouldn't last the groups, although we won once, then twice, then we never lost, people were dreaming with the cup. Yeap France won by a weird penalty, we couldn't care for 3rd place, plus Germany deserved 3rd, we deserved the cup :p would be great having Italy vs Portugal in the final but hey, at least we're one of the four best teams in the world. My clue is good, if you follow it, it says we haven't gone tot he crusades, means the location can't be in the crusading area.

yeap but Ceuta is now part of Morocco. Ceuta was a Portuguese obsession, and when it was finally conquered they announced the christian world they now had a safe port in the Mediterranean. Ceuta was used allot by crusaders, I think it's mentioned in that new movie with Saladin and the whole thing, Kingdom of Heaven if I'm not mistaken. Gives you the good idea of the difference between templairs and crusaders. Basically the crusades ruined the 'Kingdom of Heavens' which was controlled by a king protected by templairs.

So i guess it's Osafune now.

Ok...

This European country which participated in WW1 remained legally at war with Germany until 1958 because they were forgotten about in the Treaty of Versailles which was signed in 1919.

Poland didn't even exist at this point in time...

But you were right about it being a small country though.
