I just had a very funny experience I had to share with everyone here 
As a lot of you know I live in NYC and right outside the city, we have a HUGE Portuguese community in jersey (Harrison, newark and kearney). Those of you who know me also know I’m very sheekamoo and love my portugeese food and I dined at this place that had a bunch of portugeese soccer photos up. A group heard me and my dad talking in farsi and I was wearing an Italy soccer sweater and some of the guys came up to us )in a friendly way with a smile of course) and was like “oh are you Italian you guys don’t sound Italian” and I was like nope we’re Iranian.
Agha…..the second I said that the group jumped up and down and was like TAREMIIIIIII OH MY GOD I LOVE TAREMI!!!!! And all 4-5 in the group came up to me thanking me and Iranians for giving them Taremi (obviously you know they were diehard Porto fans). They went on to tell me how much they also liked our footy from when CQ was coaching us and also from Taremi and other legionnaires how strong our reputation is in Portugal as a footballing nation. These guys also said if Taremi has another season for Porto like he is having now they will go to Portugal a build a statue for him outside the stadium
Just figured I couldn’t not share that experience with you guys….you’d all have loved to see it and I’m sure for those of you who have actually physically been to Portugal have had something similar
