		The young Portuguese star has looked miffed when he's been on the end of some 'hair-dryer' style bursts from Gary Neville and Alan Smith recently, especially when some of his final-third wastefulness has cost The Red Devils dear.

		The recent success of Portuguese soccer (at club and national levels) affirms that it certainly deserves a topic section of its own next to the EPL, La liga, etc...
		Portugal's achievements and continued competitiveness in international competitions such as Champions League and Uefa Cup (not to mention Euro2004), merit a discussion forum of its own.
		If it's Britain and the US it's not surprising, because the coverage Portuguese football receives - in England at any rate - is virtually non-existent.
