The Spanish/Portugese mistake is a common one, like Jkl said, but it's also very understandable, since it's the only Portugese-speaking country (if memory serves) in the entire Western hemisphere. This unique status stemmed (again, if memory serves--elementary school was a VERY long time ago for me) from a Papal decree in 1493 that essentially purported to divide the world between Spain and Portugal for colonization purposes.
