Great stuff! Keep at it. There are lots of intricacies and nuances but they do fall into place over time. With club play resuming, you will have lots of opportunities to watch the Portuguese clubs, the Champions League, special competitions like the Portuguese Cup (Taça de Portugal), the League Cup, and the Super Cup. I can never keep them all straight but you'll get plenty of chances to watch the game and pick up the finer points along the way! Enjoy!
Strangely enough, I was having lunch in a sports bar (Gecko's) with the Portugal-Morocco game on one of the tvs. I, of course, pay zero attention to sports of any kind, but I did think of you. It may be that you would get more info/education on soccer in the US than in Portugal, but unfortunately for you I won't be able to be any help. So I think your American expat friends would be your best bet. Or maybe there's a book in English on the subject? Or a You Tube video?
