Madrid Fast Becoming a Portuguese Colony

Real Madrid:

Ronaldo
Carvalho
Pepe
Coentrão

Atletico Madrid:

Tiago
Silvio
Ruban Micael - Soon to sign from Porto
Pizzi: Soon to sign from Braga

The Madrid derby will have more Portuguese players than the Lisbon derby this year. Even Madeira is well represented with 2 players, Ronaldo and Ruban Micael.

It's good going for such a small country with limited numbers of players and funds to develope new talent. The under 20's are in the final of the WC to play Brazil on the weekend in Colombia.

2000 Euro, 2004 Euro, 2006 WC, Porugal beats England in a major tournament with or without winkers!

Didn't one of the English newspapers make a dart board of Ronaldo's face after that 06 game? Got to love the British press, irritatingly arrogant / deluded when England is doing well (eg pre 2010 WC) but scathing and vicious when they do badly (eg post 2010 WC). No happy medium at all!
