Maybe because we love our country and because, for a small country like we are (11 million people), having arguably one of the best players of all time (Cristiano Ronaldo) and arguably one of the best coaches of all time (Jose Mourinho) make us damn proud... Being able to be one of the best teams in Europe feels good, specially when we are getting through such hard times economically. The only thing we are missing is a Euro title or a World Cup title and that's what really matters, and it can happen soon. We are confident because of that. At least, while there's an Euro going on, we stop talking about fuckin Troika!

He's going to choke. Piqué is quite the mouthful.

you sound so Torontonian. Spain is like 4 times the size of Portugal while Italy and Germany's population is ginourmsly so much bigger than tiny Portugal's
if a country of 10 mil can produce quality players and stand up to bigger European footballing nations, than that is a great feat on its own
Do you get dizzy trying to follow the ball?

I hope Portugal wins because I never get tired of watching Ronaldo play.
And because I've said that Spain probably will win

No, but watching Spain play makes me fall asleep faster than any pill.
I would agree....but then I remember that Busquets is on their team
I would love to watch him do this today!
He won't even score. Have you ever seen him doing anything relevant besides Copa del Rey final against Barça?

My guess for tonight is that the game turns out like the Simpsons parody of Mexico versus Portugal.

it's nice to see you guys cheering for Portugal, at least you will have some fun until tonite....
He just vanishes at important matches. And i support Real Madrid, but that's the truth.
PS: Not too long ago i could read LOLNALDO in the thread title..

What does population size have to do with anything? A country of 10 million can produce a few great players. How is that special? Honest question. Not being sarcastic.
I never questioned why PortugalGAF is so proud of their country. That doesn't need explaining. Everyone should be proud of their country playing in the Euro.
I was more reffering to some of the over-confidence we've seen from PortugalGAF which is usually seen by fans of countries that have actually won something in the past. Portugal has mostly failed on the big stage so hence my question: why so confident/cocky?
Everyone likes to rub in a loss to their friends so it would be fun to go over my neighbors house and rub a Portugal loss in their face (god knows they do it to us when Italy blows) but I honestly do not care who wins today. Either way I just want a good match and some lol worthy moments.

Guess I will have to support Portugal today, not much for it but oh well.
I think the point is that Uruguay is the best national team in the world.

Because we've always been counted out in EVERY Major tournament the past decade ('cept 08 maybe), and made up for that by outperforming everyone's expectations.
Lo and behold, we've done the exact same thing this tournament as most people expected Germany and Netherlands to go through.
Maybe that's not a reason to show confidence, but it's always better go in with confidence than without.

Because we KNOW we can do it, we have the talent the will and the confidence that drives us into thinking that while not superior we can also win against anyone (no disrespect to other teams) if we can play the way we know how

I got this weird feeling we'll get a Portugal-Italy final.

There's only one thing I really couldn't stand to happen, and it's that Coentrao scores.
I love this gif.
I love this gif.
In terms of titles and per capita they are the most successful team. They have the most international titles in the world with a population of 3 million. Pretty impressive.

Can't side today with you Ronaldo, but I hope Pepe kicks Busquets a bit.
