In humility, thank you Cornel. After 7 years in Goan cyberspace, I have learnt satire is a good response. Just so you know, our Goan reporter Pedro covering the World Cup in Germany reported today on the upcoming Portugal-Iran match. The buzz in not on the outcome of the game, but a majority of the Iranian players are irate that Portugal never colonized Iran. The Iranian team has just issued a press statement: "If Portugal could colonize Angola, why not Iran? We would be just as grateful as Angola had we been colonized and Portugese people and Portuguese apologists could cheer for us to win the game. Now we have to rely on nuclear threats to overcome Portugal." To further illustrate their desire to be a former Portugese colony, some have adopted Goan sounding surnames. Karemi Ali and Daei Ali are now known as Karemi D'Souza, Daei Fernandes. They have also applied for Portuguese passports so they can work in France and protest the treatment of Muslims in France but not Iran. So now you know the truth.
