Definitely improved Portugal's midfield since the days of Miguel Veloso. Idk what are his instructions, but he's just passing it to the next guy and always has an extra touch. They need to speed things up if they want to do anything in this game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Portuguese it's mother's surname first followed by the father's surname. In Spanish it's the other way around. Choosing can happen sometimes but it's not the usual or traditional way.

It's not even like a nickname e.g. with Nani or Ronaldinho. Roberto Carlos also used his first two names, amongst many others. I'd genuinely be interested to know why - when the original Ronaldo was at or near his peak - CR used both his names instead of picking a surname or even just calling himself Cristiano. Was there another top-level Brazilian or Portuguese player just named Cristiano in the early 2000s? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it comes to football they may do it due to a name sounding better, etc, or because they were raised only by their mother, etc But for example if Luis Suárez was born in Brazil, his full name would normally be Luis Alberto Díaz Suárez instead of Luis Alberto Suárez Díaz like it is in Spanish.

I for instance have two personal names and two surnames. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heartwork Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 I had a friend who was Brazilian-British, he used the surname da Silva which was his mother's surname. Don't remember what his father's surname was but it was Scottish sounding. But that brings me to another question: Considering Portuguese people have two surnames, which ones to they pass down to their kids? Would Cristiano's kid take the dos Santos or the Aveiro?

In Brazil it would normally be the father's surname, but of course in theory he can pass whatever he wants, but the normal way is passing the father's surname. 1-1, Pepe.
