Yep. I really think their decision to go with Portuguese was perhaps close to the worst foot-shot they could have done to themselves. Talk about isolating their country through language just at a time when they most need international skills, advice and assistance.
If they were ever expecting Portugal to respond to their language loyalty, I imagine their hopes are well and truly dashed by now.
