Gothamist doesn't want to get in trouble here (one of us is marrying a Portuguese woman in October), but Portugal has done nothing but choke in big events in the last two years. First it was a disappointing run in the 2002 World Cup, losing to the U.S. on the way to an early departure. Then in this year's European Cup (hosted in Portugal) they lose to Greece in the finals and now they lose to Iraq in the Olympics. Now they have dug themselves into a huge hole. The way it stands right now, the best Portugal can hope for is a match in the first elimination round against Argentina.
