In Portugal, everyone supports one of Porto, Sporting or Benfica. It doesn't matter that they come from a place -- Coimbra, say, or Setúbal -- with a perfectly decent club of its own. Even if they quite like their local team, they still support Benfica, Sporting, or Porto. It's as if every Newcastle or Villa fan "also" supported Man U or Arsenal or Chelsea.

That's pretty much it. Benfica leads in terms of supporters, but Sporting and Porto also have fans all across the country, although Sporting is losing some supporters because they are terrible and they don't win anything, so there are a lot of "new" Porto fans, because Benfica is the enemy, like I said before.

I remember one night in Lisbon, ending up in this illegal after-hours place called Cachupa (iirc). An English friend (Villa supporter) and I ended up sharing a table with three Portuguese guys. Who did they support, then? One said Benfica, one said Sporting, the third said Porto. We just laughed: one of each.

 

Later that night, some guy pulled a gun on me. Portuguese aren't always so polite.

Of course. there are suckers everywhere.

Even in Benfica... Once I almost fought with a guy in the stadium that was constantly criticizing Oscar Cardozo :tickedoff:

Ok, for those interested here's a few phots from my tour of the Estádio da Luz last month.

 

We were hosted by one of the Vice Presidents and taken everywhere apart from the home dressing room which was off limits.

One of the eagles which flies around the stadium prior to every game, one of them likes to fly off and hang around the shopping centre next door:

For those of you who have been to the Emirates you will notice a resemblance:

"Mr Benfica", the one and only:

Our Stadium is really great, you should definitely visit us. And, I don't know if you ever saw it, but before every game our own eagle flys over the stadium and lands always in the same spot, a model of our simbol.

 

It's a great moment, you have to see it.

Wait a sec fellows, I'll ask the board if something's wrong with our website.

 

Thanks. What's the deal with the email address? does it not like @gmail @hotmail ones?

 

I honestly can't tell, I don't know what's wrong. I'm trying to talk with the administrators in order to solve any problem that you're apparently having.

Cracking stadium you have. Unlikely admittedly,  but it would be great if you reached the final of the champs league next year on your own patch

 

let's pray together for that
