The Portuguese are very proud people. There flag is displayed frequently, almost as frequently as the USA flag is on people's attire.
My most educated guess on this American flag and cultural obsession I see in Latin cultures has to really do with TV. The USA exports media and along with it, selling hopes and dreams. My guess is that these people don't really love America as much as they love the prosperity, fame, power etc it is associated with through media. Perhaps one day these same people will be wearing clothes with the Chinese flag on it.
