You’d think so, and to an extent, you’re right. But I hear about it quite a bit, more positive than negative. Portugal? Nope. Nothing. I’m not sure I could name a person or fictional character from Portugal. Brazil, I know at least a few.
I don’t keep track of Football, I didn’t know he was from there. Unfortunately, he was one of the two living people on the list of Portuguese people I’d ever heard the name of, the other individual being Shawn Mendes, who was raised in Canada. I also knew two dead ones, Magellan and Vasco de Gama. Which are from when Portugal was more of a world power. I recognized the names of 6 famous Brazilians.
I looked that up, since I’ve never heard of it, apparently he was Portuguese in that version, but he was turned Spanish in the most recent version. Damn, stealing the Portuguese rep they need. I’d like to know more about modern Portugal. I’ll probably do a little bit of research today.
No, still Portuguese. The show opens with a explainer saying the Spanish went west and Portuguese went east due to the church decreeing how the world would be split amongst the two countries.
Except being a LatAm country, they’re dismissed by the west.

You’ve never heard of Cristiano Ronaldo? I’m impressed, lucky you.

Captain Rodriguez from Shōgun immediately came to mind for me. I prefer John Rhys-Davies’s version over the newest on-screen rendition.

Spaniards were half a world away.
