The most important thing an English speaker must know about Portugal is that in English, its people are called Portuguese and not Portugese.
This mistake is very common because of how English is structured, i.e., the "gue" sequence is very rare in english , so very often english speakers assume it is "ge". I would like to thinkthat the use of "gue" is a small victory for us since in our own language people from Portugal are called Portugueses(plural)/Portugues (sing)
Anyway that is just a detail, Now for the important stuff
The reason the country is not doing well is that we dont have Olympia level male bodybuilders. If we did, the country could be saved by them sending their savings from IFBB shows back home. I guess that if Ports won the Mr Olympia, Arnold int, etc- we could get at least $1M to pay off our debts and save the nation
Note that there is only one thing standing betwen eSpain and the IMF : Paco Batista. His success abroad has kept eSpain afloat. Where is our Paco?
