Yes if you are all wondering what the heck is on SteveOs head it is Portugals new POG prize. Portugals Dave Woodsides Mama who lives in an old age home designed and built an unbelievable headress. Thats right the famous Portugal black rooster “Galo de Barcelos’. The now very famous cock will be worn each week by the awarded Player of the Game for Portugal. The dressing room went crazy for the black rooster. Not sure why this happened as well but Woodside now has to call Rukavina Dad from here on in. What is going on with the Pork Chops?
