Not really tbh. Despite being brazilian Pepe always showed interest in playing for Portugal, is one of our top players and has always given a great effort when wearing our shirt, more than a lot of the portuguese-born players. While it is true that it might give a bad rep to our country, José was out of line here. I'm not defending Pepe, what he did was dumb and cost us any little chance we had at a comeback, but these comments were needless. Just my two cents on this.
