Hmm... I've never even heard of Fado, so I eliminated it pretty quickly.

I picked it for the exact same reason - the others I knew were from Brazil, Spain and Hispaniola. Once you’ve eliminated the wrong, what’s left is the right. Elementary!

PS: You could at least have Sporting as an option in the football question, surely?

The question asks for the most successful team: Benfica have won far more league titles and Taças de Portugal (the main cup competition) that Sporting.
