Discovering Lisbon: From Portuguese culture to Cristiano Ronaldo

For a nation with just over 10 million people, the whole world of football seems to be watching Portugal. From the best player in the world striking the back of the net on a weekly basis to Benfica in the Europa League final to Lisboa hosting the Champions League final, the whole country seems to be soaking in the attention ahead of the World Cup.

To join the celebration, our good friend Jimmy Conrad and the KICKTV crew took to Lisbon. Our very own Dominic Vieira, unofficial ambassador of Portuguese football, gave them a proper tour of the place he calls home, showed them around the city’s two biggest clubs.

And yes, it’s probably fair to say that Dominic is more famous than Freddy Adu in Portugal at this point. Well, at least he’s more relevant. Check out all of KICKTV’s World Cup-related journeys here. [Posted by Eric]
