What will I remember about 2005? 1. The MTV Europe Awards took place in Lisbon 2. Benfica won the championship in 2005. 3. Our national team qualified for the World Cup. 4.

However, I did do some quick researching and saw some speculation that "PopoZao" came from the Portuguese slang term for "big butt". Well... That sounds like something that he'd rap about, so
