Healthy Nationalism in Portugal


The Euro 2004 throngs: we took this picture around 1 pm on a Tuesday. We were in Porto, walking down towards the water. Sweden and Denmark were playing that afternoon - the people in yellow are Swedish and the ones in red are Danish. It's really very handy to be able to identify people's nationality by the clothes they wear. Later that night, the teams tied. Made for very confusing eavesdropping in a cafe. We sat next to a table full of (drunk) and jovial Swedes AND Danes. The bits in English were too mangled for us to understand...we didn't realize they tied until we saw it on the news the next day, but that certainly did explain everyone's good spirits.
