Dont worry, by "PFnA" threads are my favourites, and I DO check them.
So feel free to post there!
Its just a weird obsession of mine. I am an academic, but not in the erm, field of Portuguese fort studies.
I guess I like them as relics of a bygone era - and despite all their faults, there's something just plain interesting and heroic about the most busted-ass seafaring power in Europe doing it all first (in Asia), and leaving a trail of trading port entrepots and grand forts around the Indian Ocean rim.
Then you wouldn't have seen Klose copping an accidental boot to the balls or Luis Aragonés being thrown in the air post-victory, LE. Both highlights of the live coverage that I haven't seen make the brief reels. ... And good to see you around, Field Marshal.

Apologies for being OT, but I don't know if I leave this comment in an older post, whether you'll ever see it.
Anyways, my question is this: what's with the Portuguese forts in Asia? Doing a PhD on them? Writing a book? Or just a hobby?
Whatever the reason, I am quite jealous!
I had kinda forgotten that impressive military architecture is not only located in Europe.

4.45am start to the day makes for loud clapping.
Campeones, campeones, ole, ole ole, etc.
I must confess I didn't actually despertarme tan temprano Liamista.
Not much of a morning muchacho, me.
Still: Ole!

Klose took one for the country, ay? Ayay!
Still, a no headbutt final is a good final.
