1. Portugal is a tiny country with big time talent.
2. They are home to the current top player in the world Cristiano Ronaldo.
He's got all the right moves.
3. But he also has many talents outside of soccer...
I wonder what those could be?
4. They also have aggressive midfielder Meireles. This is his last World Cup so he will be terrorizing the pitch.
5. But all hope ultimately lies in goalkeeper Rui Patricio.
6. Portugal has also produced Eusebio. One of the greatest players of all time.
7. Their domestic league Liga Zon Sagres produces some of the top notch talent.
8. Along with talent they have a feverish fan base that live and die by their wins and losses.
9. They have a lot to cheer about lately, Portugal has been consistently near the top of the FIFA World rankings.
That's a reason to get excited.
10. They also have some of the sweetest looking kits in the tournament.
11. Their rivalry with Spain is fierce and competitive.
Curse them!
12. No need to fear, current head coach Paulo Bento is their not so secret weapon.
13. They have a storied past, but have never won the ultimate prize.
14. But to the fans this year's squad is a team of destiny.
15. So.... what are Portugal's chances of winning the 2014 World Cup?
Oh, and in case you needed another reason to cheer for Portugal here's a pic of Cristiano Ronaldo shirtless.
