fourth-best Portuguese player on the field during the tournament.

it’s been so long, I kinda forgot they just had an open bench. not even a dugout, and before barriers were required.

and, to be frank, the thing they don’t like is quite often just Black people speaking their minds.

it’s spelled H-I-G-U-A-I-N, not M-E-S-S-I.

if he were doing all he could, they might have won a game.
