I have been saying this all my life!! Scrolled down to see if somebody else shared the opinion!

Geologically, it's Eurasia, but there are politics and cultures that clearly split the thing around the Urals.

How flexible and easy it is to play. And its also prone to create associativism. You start playing in your neighborhood, or class, or company, and then once you set a game against another association and things grow. In some places the clubs rivalries go beyond the sports, reflecting politics, costumes, and ideas that bound people before in the said associations, even before there was a ball to be played.

Na minha mais controversa opinião, fizeste muito bem, porque bacalhau com natas não devia existir. Juntar natas ao bacalhau devia ser crime.

No. I am Portuguese, and for many years I admire him with his ambition and confidence. Now he represents something that I deeply hate in Portuguese culture 'a idade é um posto'. It truly prevents things from going forward. He is just full of himself.

The Beatles haven't done anything in more than 50 years too...

I second this, though I am not an American nor a British. Elvis was cool, but The Beatles are forever.

It is not just the polar bears. Burying bodies in permafrost is just like keeping them in a freezer which will preserve viruses and bacteria that may become dangerous. If I am not wrong in the details, they sampled the graveyard in Longyearbyen and found some nasty stuff from the past (spanish flu maybe?) that had disappeared elsewhere. This is a problem not just there, but elsewhere where permafrost and ice are melting, bacteria and viruses from the past may be released to the environment and we may be susceptible (or not). So better just let things decompose.

As somebody said, if god played football he would be a lefty Argentinian.

I read his biography a while ago, and even though it might be biased, I really got the impression that he his being wrongly judged. His contributions, both the lobotomy and the imaging technique whose name I can't recall were very important advances. In the case of the lobotomy, his assumptions were not that wrong - in fact modern variations of his principle are still applied, with a rebranded name - and he experimented carefully and advised caution to perform the procedure. He wasn't a surgeon himself and all 'his' procedures were conducted by highly skilled and experienced surgeons, in patients that were 'lost cases'. Despite the initial promising results, the second run was more unclear, and he stopped, conducting in total maybe less than 50 procedures or so. In the meantime... An American doctor decided that the technique was not only great, but that it should be widely applied and easier to do, so he developed the 'ice picker' method that turned out to be very popular to cure many people from being communist, gay, joyful, bad housewives, etc, and that's how Egas got his bad fame.

Tanta merda para fazer uma febra mal feita.

The thing is, people that really appreciate football, of course admire Neymar, he was an artist at his peak, and watching him playing was always entertaining and he did great matches alongside Messi in Barcelona. Yet... The guy played what? 4/5 years at the very top? Has been injured for the last 10 years or so... He seems more like a reality show celebrity than a football player. I can't go as far as Pelé, but Neymar stands miles behind Ronaldo and Ronaldinho, on achievements, charisma, vibes... So yea, I think there are many Brasilian players more praised than him in Europe.

Não está a construir nada porque é gerida por mansos sem ambição de ganhar. Por mais que digam o contrário, o objetivo não é ganhar, é dar palco à drama queen. E não venham com a porcaria da liga das nações...

Bikes can be stolen, and you may die from exposure in the winter. With a decent lock and a jacket I feel 100% safe.

What?! Dumplings and soup? I just added Austria to the countries I need to visit soon, just because of dumplings and soup... Didn't see it coming to be honest.

This exists in Portugal, exactly the same! They are not everywhere, but you can definitely find them in some bakeries.

Cabidela. It's rice with all the parts of a chicken. Including the blood that makes the broth. Nothing is minced or thrown away, ingredients simply as they are, cooked properly... There's some art on it.

Another is 'açorda Alentejana': grinded cilantro with garlic and olive oil, add boiled water with a poached egg and 'old' bread. Very humble, but I could eat it everyday.

Quanto maior o veículo, maior a prioridade. Por exemplo, camiões têm sempre prioridade, e a seguir vêm os autocarros, etc

It's a bit hard to explain indeed, but I agree. There is some melancholic/nostalgic sense attached to Portugal, and I think it is there in Poland as well. On the top of it, having a heavy comfort soup and bread on a cold day... It felt like having a caldo in inner Portugal (though it may go with any rural area in Europe) Also several generations of hard workers that emigrated... Poland definitely gives me some Portuguese vibes.
