RESPONSE: Congratulations to Sr. Antonio Costa, congratulations too, to the Portuguese P.M. for making a good choice. I have always said Portugal, in my opinion is the most tolerant of the European Countries, racial wise. A good night as well, for Portugal's Sporting Lisbon, who were 3-0 up and finished 3-2 in the EUFA Cup game Vs Middlesborough. Lastly, welcome back Paulo Colaco Dias, hope you have had a fruitful sabbatical. We are after all, Goans first and whatever else.........afterwards! Cheers, Gabe Menezes. London England.
