Yes, as an atypical type. I have seen his look among Portuguese here.

Thanks.Honestly, I dont think that he is so atypical.I already saw a lot of spaniards and portuguese who look much more strange than him.

[nightrider+]

He wouldn't even be atypical.

[Catarinense1998]

He wouldn't even be atypical.

Agree with you.

[renaissance12]

Yes

[Marinus]

Yes, doesn't even look atypical either.

[Zroota]

Yes, and as a typical.

[Odin]

Sure.

[Thracian]

Most likely he already has some Iberian ancestry.

[Catarinense1998]

Nop I think.Some north-africans can pass in Iberia.Simple in this way.SOME.

[Congolese Rice]

yee boi, i think he looks southern portuguese or southern spanish with additional arab admix

[grecoroman]

he is born in canada

[Sikeliot]

In this picture he actually does look Canarian or a very dark Portuguese.

Yes, but slightly atypical. pass better as portugues than spanish

[Asheffar]

Passes (I doubt anyone in Spain would walk up to him and tell him he is not Spanish) but atypical. A little too dark and sunken in the upper face. Nothing shouts Spain. He is not one of the 5 common types.

A far better example of a Moroccan that passes in Spain for me is this man.

He is a know actor in Morocco

[Catarinense1998]

Yes, but slightly atypical. pass better as portugues than spanish

Why only in Portugal?

[Corded]

Why only in Portugal?

He could pass in spain too, but pass better as portugues.
portugues tend to be more darker and exotic than spanish.

[Catarinense1998]

Dude not in Portugal nor in Spain :picard1:

I'm just provoking a bit, because this thread is the perfect example why many of you waste your time in vain ... masturbating about this nonsense and barely grasping anything :lol:

Lol far from me want to atack or ofend portuguese people.A lot of members talk about North African input in Iberia; evebody call Cristiano Viejo like "moorish" or "moor Viejo" to pass the ideia about iberians supposly look like North-Africans

[Catarinense1998]

You don't offend at all, why would you? It's in no way shape or form offensive North Africans looking Iberians or vice-versa, like any other population or comparisons between both populations, just people like everybody else....AND IT EXISTS INDEED A OVERLAP.

That's not what I am talking about, this young man just does not look Iberian, that's all. He could have been French, English or Chinese I would say the same. Blond, light, or dark...

Thanks for the educação

[nightrider+]

The lad screams North Africa.


He doesn't look North African at all. More like an almost white Latin American.

[Latinus]

Sure.

[Damião de Góis]

Don't know if he passes in Spain or not, but he doesn't pass here.


He could pass in spain too, but pass better as portugues.
portugues tend to be more darker and exotic than spanish.

I see that you're from India. He definitely passes better in your country than here:

He kinda looks like Kaka, I don't think that's a common North African phenotype. If someone like Goncalo Guedes is Portuguese, why couldn't this guy pass as one?

Btw, CR looks more Gypsy than this guy, no troll.

Click on the video. He probably has a more south asian vibe.

I don't know about Iberian Gypsies but this guy doesn't look like a Greek Gypsy, unlike CR for example.

[Damião de Góis]

I don't know about Iberian Gypsies but this guy doesn't look like a Greek Gypsy, unlike CR for example.

Sure thing, Ronaldo the greek gypsy and Yassine Bonou the iberian.

Like I said, Bonou looks like a Latin American that's about 90% white. Ronaldo always looked very Gypsy to me and I think most Greeks would concur.

[nightrider+]

T

CR is supposedly 1/8 cape verdean, nevertheless he is within Portuguese spectrum.

He is just artificially tanned.

It's not about pigmentation. Mourinho is about as dark but doesn't look Gypsy at all.

Btw, I find it funny how you people defend him as Portuguese despite being 1/8 African (supposedly) just because he's CR. Any other person, you'd discard.

[Cristiano viejo]

lol, of course he cant.

[Voskos]

I honestly would guess him as turk rather than spaniard.

[ShenGjergj]

Yes.

[nightrider+]

Defend him? LOL I find it funny how you make assumptions without know much it seems. I just said he is within portuguese spectrum because he simply is ....

:picard2:

Show me where I discarded someone ... And please don't mention this moroccan lad :picard1:

Like i told if he really looked Iberian I would say it. Like i said other times regarding other non europeans who look iberian, no problem whatsoever.

I'm not talking about you only. I've just heard it all before. "He's 1/8 African but since he's a great footballer, we claim him as Portuguese". Any other insignificant exotic person, you'd look for excuses. You know I'm right.

[ÁGUIA]

But you quoted me. Not true, for example CV always dismiss him. Which is ridiculous, atypical types are present in Iberia even more than CR. That moroccan kid just happens to have a foreign vibe, maybe it is because we are native and able to detect subtleties easier that non native can't. Being honest would never guess him as Portuguese even from our darkest non conventional types. His features are different.


You are right however, how people are quick to throw the gipsy argument when someone does not fit their ideal of how one should look like.

[Catarinense1998]

I honestly would guess him as turk rather than spaniard.

I thought about this too.

[Kivan]

Looks like an average Golden Dawn neonazi.

Could be perfectly brother of this greek footballer as well

[Ruggery]

Of course, I could see some images and it would not be very atypical in iberia

please, the members who say that it can not pass, they have the ego too high, this guy looks different to the typical Moroccan of North Africa he can pass as a little atypical, but it can pass

I have seen many exotic Iberians (not foreigners or gypsies) who in a country north of France or in Eastern Europe would be mistaken for extra-European immigrants.
