I don't have the exact data so I might be talking out of my ass, but I'm willing to bet two things:

- employment level in Portugal right now isn't worse than it is in the U.S.
- there are less people under the poverty threshold in Portugal than there are in the U.S.

I mean, soccer is cute and all, but cut the patronizing bullshit.
