Cry not for Portugal

"In the last 12 years, Portugal has done the seemingly impossible. It has become a legitimate world power in a small country with a small population and without a national league that ranks among the world's best. That it is where it is now, an undoubted top 10 team in the world that tournament after tournament is considered a lock to outperform countries with three, four and fives times its resources, is remarkable."
