See where you can find one +/- like it, and then let me know... ;-) Anyway, without turning this into publi a** kissing, let me tell you that as a portuguese I find a great honour that your language is still, after 500 years, the same as ours. Honestly, nowadays nobody in the world (+/-) knows that portuguese exists if it wasn't for Brasil...

How is it to have Englands flag in yours? I wouldn't like Portugal's flag to be in our Brazilian flag. Thanks for the article! How is it to have Englands flag in yours?

The combination was, however, used in the jumpers, blazers and caps of the Australian cricket team to tour England in 1899, but was not ratified by the Australian Cricket Board until 1908. It was also worn by the Australian Olympic team in that year, while the Australian Rugby League adopted the colours in 1928. Green and gold were the popular choice to represent Australia internationally because the colours closely resembled those of our national emblem the golden wattle.

Sometimes I think I'm looking at a Brazilians instead of Australians... it's funny.
