Indeed..I was thinkin of that too!
there are many passionate fans who didnt have the money to go to Portugal and were followin the matches at home and partying in the streets anyway in their hometowns
each person has its way to live football supporting
of course there is the money issue too, a portuguese get a wage that's way lower from an italian one and much much lower than in northern countries such as England, Denmark, Holland, Sweden and so on. It's all a matter of lifecost, so I understand why there was a lot of english ppl in the stadiums or holland or swedes instead of portugueses, italians and so. And is not cause they are more passionate and the other are less...
I hardly would have afford to go a match myself, in fact
